末日金属（英语：Doom Metal），又称毁灭金属、厄运金属，是一种曲速非常缓慢的重金属音乐，不管是歌词、唱腔、吉他即兴的展现上，都给人异常沉重绝望的氛围。

早期毁灭金属受到70年代的黑色安息日的影响，后来，Tony Iommi发展出了一套充满吉他的咆啸巨响跟毁灭性高的演奏方法，加上黑暗又充斥着悲观主义的歌词，他们被认定为为毁灭金属定下定义的一群艺术家，在70年代早期，Black Sabbath跟Pentagram将这股又重又黑暗的音乐音乐传到美国，这股潮流在1980年代时被定义成一个新名称"Doom Metal"。

Doom metal is an extreme style of heavy metal music that typically uses slower tempos, low-tuned guitars and a much "thicker" or "heavier" sound than other metal genres. Both the music and the lyrics intend to evoke a sense of despair, dread, and impending doom. The genre is strongly influenced by the early work of Black Sabbath, who formed a prototype for doom metal with songs such as "Black Sabbath", "Children of the Grave", "Electric Funeral" and "Into the Void". During the first half of the 1980s, a number of bands from England (Pagan Altar, Witchfinder General), the United States (Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Trouble) and Sweden (Candlemass, Count Raven) defined doom metal as a distinct genre.
