Acrimony

Acrimony is a Stoner Doom band from the UK that was very active in the 90's and provided a lot of influence for modern stoner music, doom and rock alike. Their work is essential to any appreciator of Stoner. I'm going to let the music speak for itself, so take a listen and be amazed.
*Aside, it should be noted that the Acrimony/CoM split was released after Acrimony's break-up in '99.*

Dolorian

Dolorian is a Finnish band that plays a mix of Doom and Black with a twist of Ambient thrown in the mix. Exploring the spritual themes of depression and loss, Dolorian is not a band to be taken lightly (TURBOPUNS OMG). With a heavy sound that can be deep and sorrowful as well as torn and filled with BM style misery, I don't recommend that you listen to Dolorian unless you truly wish to understand sorrow and sadness epitomized in music.

Agalloch

Following the trend of posting bands whos genres are hard to describe is the posting of Agalloch, an extremely influential American band whos combination of Black, Doom and Folk elements make them a tireless and indispensable addition to any metal listeners collection. Taste them and enjoy the fruits of their labors.

Novembre

Novembre is a Gothic/Doom band from Italy, and are one of my personal favorites. Very gothic influenced lyrics compliment the unique sound that Novembre produces. Some moments are mournful, some filled with merely melancholic beauty. Overall, a very satisfying listen.
*Personal Meditations: Classica is my album of choice by Novembre, I recommend that you download that first. Other than that, I give my standard answer: Listen to all of it, and decide for yourself.*

Forgotten Tomb

Forgotten Tomb is a Doom/Black Metal band hailing from Italy. With an extremely depressive and atmospheric sound, they fuse the heaviness of Doom with the bleak beauty of Black in an amazing way. Their music explores the concepts of depression and suicide with remarkable precision. Very artistic, and beautiful in a dark way. If you enjoy depressingly heavy music, you should already have Forgotten Tomb in your library.
