Atmospheric Doom :

Describes a particularly heterogenous style where melancholic moods outweigh heaviness and aggression. Many compositions include calm (sometimes folk-inspired) 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 neighbouring subgenres (in particular Melodic Death Doom and Gothic Doom) is not always possible.
