So what exactly is Doom Metal?

And is it really the heaviest genre out there? Does it have some sort of gruesome lyrical theme or what is it about that genre that makes it so extreme and intense.

I haven't heard much of it or any of its bands, other than my friend's daily rants on how this 'Doom' music slowly damages your soul and weakens it until one day you completely lose your mind, faith and beliefs. I really don't know what in bloody heck she's talking about.

Back to the point, is this like any other genre and is she just making this up to scare me off metal? I couldn't help but wonder about this and ask since she hasn't let a day pass without mentioning that.

Also, would you care to name some bands?
