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.
