Funeral Doom Metal is the darkest and slowest subgenre of Doom Metal, known for its extremely slow tempos, deep guitar riffs, and an oppressive, melancholic atmosphere. This category unites the heaviest and emotionally most intense tracks of the genre, with bands like Ahab, Mournful Congregation, Evoken, and Shape of Despair. Funeral Doom Metal takes the listener on a deeply emotional journey, often with themes of death, grief, and despair. The songs are long and sustained, with droning guitars, minimalistic, almost painful melodies, and deep, guttural vocals often accompanied by dark, atmospheric synthesizers. Let yourself be carried away by the crushing heaviness and desolate yet gripping sounds of Funeral Doom Metal into a world of darkness and inner reflection.
