Funeral Doom

Funeral doom is a subgenre of doom metal characterized by its oppressively slow tempo, dense atmosphere, and an overarching sense of despair and melancholy. Integrating the depth of death metal growls with droning guitar riffs and melancholic melodies, it often incorporates symphonic and ambient elements, creating a soundscape that is both haunting and majestic. The music is textured with prolonged, sorrowful notes and echoes with the heaviness of a funeral dirge, reflecting themes of mortality, doom, and loss. Bands like Evoken and Skepticism are known for their use of minimalistic structures and emphatic funereal pacing, while groups such as Shape of Despair blend in ethereal keyboard layers, all contributing to the foreboding yet cathartic experience funeral doom provides.
