Funeral doom

Funeral doom is a subgenre of doom metal and an outgrowth of death/doom.
Characteristics
Funeral doom is slower and heavier than most other doom metal subgenres (the term 'funeral' in funeral doom comes from the fact that the music moves along at the pace of a funeral march). Funeral doom bands may also incorporate influences from ambient music to create a sound that is not only distorted and gloomy, but also dreamy. Vocals within the genre include mournful chanting and distorted growls, the former of which are used to add texture to the music.
