 | Together with heavy metal, doom metal is the oldest form of metal music, rooted in the music of early Black Sabbath, which is often considered as one of the first metal bands amongst many metalheads. |
 | Doom metal first became widely recognized within the metal scene with Sweden's Candlemass, who are hailed in the mainstream metal press as one of the most important and influential doom metal bands; their 1986 album Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is considered a genre-defining release. |
 | According to the proponents of the classic doom metal style, the most prototypical doom metal band would be Saint Vitus, who released their self-titled debut album in 1984 - two years before doom metal as a genre was recognised in the mainstream metal press. |
