Doom are an English
Crust Punk band from Birmingham, England, whose first, influential lineup were together from 1987 to 1990. Despite its short existence, the band is considered pivotal in the rise of
Crust Punk, a style within the
Punk Rock subgenre that fuses extreme metal with
Anarcho-Punk. They recorded for Peaceville Records and are cited as an early precursor to the
Grindcore style of heavy
metal music.
Doom were also a favorite of BBC Radio DJ John Peel.
