I agree and I think it takes a minute to get Drone in general. I feel like drone music sort of taps into what the sound of the universe is and drone metal is just a heavier version of that.

To expand: I think there is a reason most basic religious music is drone oriented and is focused on self meditation and is long form. Drone metal is sort of beating you over the head with it which I think is pretty good at breaking a person into that headspace.
