black doom metal

Last updated: Wed Oct 22 2025 16:00:14 GMT+0300 (Eastern European Summer Time)

Description

Black doom metal fuses the atmospheric bleakness and slow tempos of doom metal with black metal's raw production, tremolo picking, and misanthropic themes. The genre emerged in the 1990s as bands sought to combine crushing heaviness with cold, desolate soundscapes that evoke spiritual emptiness and existential despair. Its sound is characterized by funeral-paced riffs, shrieked vocals, and an overwhelming sense of hopelessness and isolation.
