I'd like you to blow me.

I'll cover the stuff that I don't really hear anyone mentioning around here. Try Corrosion of Conformity (from Blind onward, at least. Haven't heard their earlier stuff, it is impossible to find), Crowbar (try Lifesblood for the Downtrodden, that one is more accessible than their early stuff), and Down. Also, Alabama Thunderpussy, and Black Label Society, to round out the southern metal / sludge metal while not getting into anything too off-putting. I know someone is going to come in here suggesting Eyehategod, but I don't really find them a good example of how to get to like the genre.

Some of the bands other people have recommended might not be something you like at first, I know I have gotten to really like stuff that I would have despised if I had started listening to it before the gateway bands. Agalloch in particular tends to be an acquired taste, Caspian is just too much of a philistine to have ever acquired it. They are not really a band you sit down and listen to intently, they are too slow for that, they make better background music.

onewheelwizzard:
If you like slow, heavy, slow, heavy music, you are tragically missing out if you have not yet listened to:

Electric Wizard, Sleep, Om, Acid King, Sons of Otis, YOB, 5ive, Zoroaster, Bongripper, Eternal Elysium, Indian, and UfoMammut.

Among many others, of course.

Dimmukane:
Bolded are ones people have already posted (that are really good)

!T.O.O.H.! - if you never listen to another grindcore song in your life, listen to this one.  Whoever uploaded it messed with the levels a bit, though.
Agalloch - Caspian, you've obviously never gotten stoned and driven on a winding mountain road during a snowstorm listening to Ashes Against the Grain.
Anata - these guys are...harmonic death metal? Kind of a dueling-guitarist type deal.
Arch Enemy - these guys are pretty famous now, most of their stuff is pretty solid (even the albums with Johan Liiva, I don't care if the dude was shite for live shows and a prick)
Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors is what you want to check out
Arsis - check out the song 'A Diamond For Disease', honestly it's the only song of theirs I like, but you'd probably like some of their other stuff.  That song is too long for youtube, though.
Augury - probably my favorite band.  Metal for comets to listen to during their trips through the void.
Baroness - I just found this fanmade video, it's pretty sweet.
Cynic - fuck all the haters.  Not that there are any on this board.  Proto-tech-death-jazz-fusion. 
Dethklok - needs no explanation

Genghis Tron - I would just like to point out that if brokenCYDE and Attack Attack! had an antithesis, it is these guys.  No crabcore here.

In Flames - any of their albums up to Whoracle, really driving melodeath/viking type stuff.  After that they kind of stopped being good.  The Jester Race/Black Ash Inheritance still hasn't gotten old.
Kronos - see Colossal Titan Strife.  Probably the most deathy band I'm recommending.
Lykathea Aflame - the second most deathy.  We will probably never hear music like theirs again.
Mastodon - this board is kind of love/hate about them.  I like them.  Whatever.
the Pax Cecilia - if Opeth wasn't so wanky, this is what they'd sound like.  You'd probably like Opeth, too.

Koremora:
Meshuggah is some sweet mathy metal, you should try obZen by them. Also I'd like to 2nd Between the Buried and Me, Alaska and Colors are GREAT albums. Anything ISIS has touched is gold, as well as Pelican and Russian Circles if you like the whole post-metal thing. Mastodon is sweet stoner/prog too... I'm just gonna list some more of these:

Baroness - amazing southern prog metal
BORIS - REALLY heavy Japanese stoner/doom metal
Cult of Luna - Swedish post-metal band, somewhat similar to ISIS, perhaps a bit darker
The Dillinger Escape Plan - thrashy, mathy experimental metal, perhaps a bit hardcore in it as well
Gojira - awesome Prog. Death metal, if you like BTBAM you will likely like this, and perhaps even if you don't
High on Fire - fantastic thrashy stoner/doom metal
Kylesa - again with the southern metal, somewhat crust-punk/psychedelic tinged
Neurosis - the original "post-metal" band, slow and atmospheric, crushingly heavy
OM - drone/stoner metal with an Eastern European tinge. Somewhat spiritual in nature, think of chanting.
Jesu - drone metal, but generally major key and more upbeat. I call it power drone.
Opeth - classic progressive death metal band, nobody really does it better than these guys.
Rosetta - another post-metal band, their self description of "Neurosis covering Stars of the Lid" says it best.
Sleep - Stoner/doom metal, original members went on to form High on Fire and OM, respectively. Sleep's Holy Mountain and Dopesmoker are amazing.
Sunn O))) - Drone doom metal, perhaps the best (or most well-known). Sounds dark, IMPOSSIBLY heavy, and equally slow.
Tombs - An interesting mix of atmospheric black metal and thrash, Winter Hours is a great album.
Torche - another very thick, heavy southern metal band, with pop influences of all things. Pop doom? I guess it's possible.
Wolves in the Throne Room - amazing atmospheric black metal/ambient music.
