Draft:Atmospheric doom

Atmospheric doom metal is a particularly heterogeneous style where melancholic moods outweigh heaviness and aggression. Many compositions include calm passages with e.g. acoustic/clean guitars, keyboards and other atmospheric elements. Clean vocals are predominant in most cases. Note that a clear distinction from neighboring subgenres (in particular death doom metal and gothic doom metal) is not always possible.

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Comment: Without any references, there can be no article. See Help:Referencing for beginners to learn how to cite sources. However, after a further search, I am skeptical this term is notable at all. 🌀Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) (contribs)🔥 04:09, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
