Doom metal recommendations

(1/5) > >>

Be My Head:
Hey everyone, I'm looking for some good Doom stuff, you know the usual, heavy bass and slow riffs.

So far, I've already checked out...

Goatsnake
Burning Witch
Candlemass
Saint Vitus
Black Sabbath

Any good bands that are essential, apart from these?

Scandanavian War Machine:
Bongripper




theeey                  are         

sooo


heavy                  aaaaaand                                     slooooow

onewheelwizzard:
Electric Wizard IMMEDIATELY.

Om immediately afterwards.

Then get into Acid King, Zoroaster, YOB, Ufomammut, Earth, Cathedral, Sons of Otis, and Grand Magus, and you should be good for a while.

Nodaisho:
Do you have a preference as to subgenres? I usually group sludge in with doom, do you want any of those recommendations as well?

Just off the top of my head, which is less occupied than usual for some reason, try Katatonia (early stuff, specifically Brave Murder Day, Dance of December Souls might count as well, never heard it), My Dying Bride (I like "Like Gods of the Sun", but don't listen to them much, so I could be missing a gem), How Like a Winter (very similar to MDB, only have one EP and an s/t out), and Type O Negative (some of it is doomy, at least. Specifically thinking of "World Coming Down" and "Bloody Kisses").

Stalfos:
Electric Wizard (Get Come My Fanatics... first, Dopethrone isn't as good as everyone makes it out to be.)
Sleep (Anything is good, but bear in mind that Jerusalem and Dopesmoker are essentially the same album, with Jerusalem being a truncated version, also they're one song albums.)
Melvins (Bullhead and Lysol.)
Orthodox (I only have Gran Poder, but I recommend that wholeheartedly, excellent drone doom.)
Sahg (Traditional doom fronted by members of black metal bands, and it works surprisingly well, get everything.)
Bongzilla (I only have Gateway, but it's pretty sludgy and awesome, get that.)
The Angelic Process (Not sure what to call these guys, bar drone doom, but you need to listen to Weighing Souls With Sand, because it is literally the thickest album you'll ever hear, you'll understand when you try it. Absolutely amazing.)
ISIS (All their old EPs before Celestial are pretty damn doomy and heavy as a motherfucker.)
Neurosis (I hesitate to dump them in a doom thread, because they're so much more than that, but they're essential. Start with Times of Grace, then go backwards for heavier Neurosis, and forwards for softer Neurosis.)
