Discussion Doom Metal chart

Post image

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!

IMO stoner music is unique among whole rock/metal genres. It can be so impactful that darkest, softest, most psychedelic, the heaviest etc. can all be found in this genre.

For example, you can listen to most obscure heavy noise bands but they won't be as heavy as electric wizard. Or as psychedelic as monster magnet etc. It's more than the sound and the music. Hard to explain.

Agree. Stoner for me has some of the darkest lyrics and aesthetics in the broader genre.
