Drone rock fuses the repetitive, sustained tones of drone music with rock's volume and intensity, creating hypnotic soundscapes built on minimal chord changes and textural layering. Emerging from psychedelic and experimental rock scenes, it emphasizes mood and atmosphere over traditional song structure, often inducing meditative or trance-like states through its insistent, unvarying patterns. The sound ranges from blissed-out and ethereal to crushing and overwhelming, unified by its commitment to sonic immersion.
