Description

History

Doom Blues emerged as musicians sought to blend the traditional blues sound with the heavier and darker tones of doom metal. This genre draws inspiration from the deep emotional expression found in blues music and the slow, heavy riffs characteristic of doom metal. It gained traction as artists began experimenting with this hybrid style, creating a niche yet impactful sound.
