Drone metal is metal slowed and stretched until duration itself becomes the point, with amplified distortion and repetition pushed to extremes. Owen Coggins traces its growth since the 1990s to the edges where experimental music and metal meet. It keeps doom metal’s slow riffs as a base, abstracts metal’s conventions further and stays rooted in loud, amplified noise.
Argentina’s Monovoth is one man working grim doom soundscapes out of noise, distortion and decay. Oenos, a Finnish one-man project based in London, moved toward drone metal on two singles. German trio [ B O L T ] cut “(04)” as instrumental black drone metal, their first full-length as a trio.
