Help me find new music!

[Thanatopsis123]

I've been in kind of a rut lately. Every new bands I come across is just mediocre. Every once in a while I'll find an amazing song and buy the album but the rest just doesn't live up to it or I get bored very fast.

So, perhaps you all can help me. To help you help me, I'll list some of the very good stuff I've found lately so you can gauge my tastes a bit.

First off I'm looking for some DM bands that compare in brutality and/or technicality with the following:

Harakiri
Immolation (Unholy Cult)
Skinless
Cryptopsy (Whisper Supremacy)
Iniquity
Decapitated

Secondly I've been looking for some great ol' doom. I'm really into early Katatonia type stuff like these:

Katatonia (BMD, SoD)
Rapture
Shape of Despair
Daylight Dies

Thirdly some experimental metal like:

maudlin of the Well
Scholomance
Opeth
Sigh
Swano (MoonTower)


Thanks in advance guys.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, if you wouldn't mind just picking a few of your favorites from each of those 3 catagories I'd appreciate it. I plan on checking out everything you guys list that I haven't already given a chance.

Ahhh... have you heard Pissing Razors and Skinlab before? They're not the kind of bands you requested though.
