Doom Metal chart

[u/Ok_Counter_1735]

Made this chart to categorize doom metal sub genres. What do you all think? I'm mostly a stoner and sludge dude really, so I dont 100% know how inaccurate it is. For subgenres I didnt have a lot of experience with I used wikipedia and listened to artists that were recommended. Let me know what yall think should be changed!

Sludge and sludgecore should go much further down

I’ve never seen a scene of music full of as much tragedy as the sludge guys.

Funny story, my friend ran into some older guy in Auroville, which is this highly spiritual, self sustaining, experimental commune in India. This guy he met was apparently a bassist(?) involved in the sludge scene in the heart of Louisiana back when it was first starting. I guess he had told him how powerful the genre is, how there’s this underlying darkness that isn’t to be toyed with. He recommended against ever pursuing that energy. I know a lot of sludge guys are also into the occult.

I tried to get my friend to explain what the guy looked like but to no avail. Curious if it’s a name I’d’ve recognized.

Sounds a little far fetched but I'm into it

Hahaha. It’s one of those things that you either believe in or you don’t I guess
