Their influence has reverberated through the underground scene, inspiring countless artists to explore themes of despair and solitude within the heavy confines of doom metal. By embracing lengthy compositions and somber atmospheres, they have shaped a subgenre that speaks to the darker corners of human experience, inviting listeners to confront rather than escape their fears.
