funeral doom metal

Last updated: Tue Oct 28 2025 11:48:19 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)

Description

Funeral doom metal is an extremely slow, heavy subgenre of doom metal characterized by crushingly downtuned guitars, deep growled or clean vocals, and songs often exceeding ten minutes in length. The music evokes themes of death, despair, and mourning through glacial tempos, dense atmospheres, and sorrowful melodies that create an oppressive, meditative listening experience. Emerging in the early 1990s, it represents doom metal's most extreme expression of bleakness and minimalism.
