  • **Heavy Guitar Riffs**: The guitar work in doom metal is often characterized by thick, distorted riffs that emphasize power chords. The sound is usually very bass-heavy, contributing to the genre's weighty feel.
  • **Atmospheric Elements**: Many doom metal bands incorporate atmospheric elements, such as haunting melodies, keyboard arrangements, or ambient soundscapes, enhancing the genre's dark and brooding vibe.
  • **Vocals**: Vocals in doom metal can vary widely, from clean singing to deep, growling styles. Lyrics often explore themes of doom, despair, death, and existential dread.
  • **Influence from Other Genres**: Doom metal draws influences from various genres, including traditional heavy metal, psychedelic rock, and even blues. This blend contributes to its unique sound.
  • **Subgenres**: Doom metal has several subgenres, including funeral doom (which is even slower and more atmospheric), stoner doom (which incorporates elements of stoner rock), and sludge metal (which combines doom with hardcore punk influences).
  • **Pioneering Bands**: Notable bands that helped shape the genre include Black Sabbath (often credited as the originators of doom metal), Candlemass, Pentagram, and Sleep.
  • **Cultural Themes**: The themes explored in doom metal often reflect a sense of hopelessness and introspection, making it a deeply emotional and thought-provoking genre.
