I'm looking for metal (or heavy music at least) with guitar tones that blend really well with a pretty dominant bass. Some examples I can think of now are Underoath's newest album and ISIS' newest album.. to a lesser extent the new Converge.

I just really love the tight sound of these and it's kind of how I want my album to sound.
 
How do bands obtain such immaculate and punishing bass sounds?

Tight editing so everything is perfectily in line and pushing the master bus compressor at the same time, good eqing, controlled dynamics and last but not least, great tone at the source (good bass, fresh new strings, good player, etc.).
