Morphology

doomster = doom (transparent) = doom + ster

Built from noun 'doom' and the agentive suffix '-ster' meaning a person associated with or a fan of 'doom', so the role is directly inferable.

Etymology

Doomster joins doom ('bad fate' or a dark, heavy feeling) with the ending -ster (a part that means 'person', as in youngster or hipster). So a doomster is literally a person of 'doom', which fits fans of slow, heavy doom metal who like that dark sound.
