Drone doom is generally influenced by noise and ambience. Many songs are minimalistic, repeating one or two riffs, each of which can exceed a minute in length, usually accompanied by ambient effects in the background. A typical drone doom song can last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, although a few albums consist entirely of one song. Vocals and even drums are often absent, and the music often lacks any beat or rhythm in the traditional sense. Heavy use of feedback and heavy emphasis on bass are also typical. Like funeral doom, drone doom typically emphasizes despair and emptiness. Innovator Stephen O'Malley, heavily influenced by Earth, can be largely credited with the creation of drone doom as a recognised subgenre, being or having been involved with seminal acts such as Burning Witch, Sunn O))) and Skullflower. Definitive examples: Sunn O))), and their predecessor, Earth. -----------------------------------------------------
