Doomcore is a rather obscure genre of EDM, where the music creates a very eerie environment to the listener, typically following with some slow, but heavy and typically distorted drumlines, but there are some doomcore songs that have faster drumlines. The way that the atmosphere is achieved is by blending sounds, such as screams, crying, or breathing into the music. Despite the common misconception, doomcore should not be mistaken for darkcore, which are fairly different things.

Doomcore is a derivative of Doom-Metal. Doomcore has, generally, the same formula and characteristics as Doom-Metal does. Black Sabbath’s first song is the eponymous Black Sabbath which is classified as Doom-Metal. Black Sabbath are credited with the discovery of the Metal genre in 1968.
