Drone doom, also called drone metal, is a subgenre of doom metal. It generally takes influences from ambient, minimalism, and noise.
Characteristics
Drone doom is defined by drones, that is, notes that last for long periods of time. Melody, and sometimes any sense of rhythm, are absent from the songs, and vocals, if present, are usually screamed.[1] Long song lengths are common, with the average song lasting from ten to thirty minutes. Bands also might make an album-long track, with an example being the sixty-two minute long Sun Baked Snow Cave by Boris and Merzbow[2].
