Two of my favorites in the more traditional doom category:

Count Raven (singer sounds like Ozzy - only better)

And also the great Italian Doom metal band Thunderstorm (I love this band - if you want some great traditional doom - get their albums):

I'm not sure if they have been mentioned but another great doom band is Isole:

And Grand Magus (even though their more recent music is more Traditional Doom Tinged Epic Metal, it's still great stuff):

Any band that thinks calling a song "Bitterness... Tears" is a good idea is officially condemned to shittyness whether their music is actually any good or not.

I must post this classic of filthy doom/death, first time I heard this album I didn't like it at all, specially cause of the production, but it grew on me and now I love it, the filthyness, the huge yet distant sound of everything (specially the vocals), the noisy riffs with blasting drums on top, the eerie clean guitar... Just perfect.

And on a totally different doom note, this band kicked ass while it lasted

[Nectar-and-Fuel]

Get YOB - Catharsis and that's all you need really.

 

[FloridaRolf]

Most bands have already been mentioned, you guys have a great taste!

 

[Executioner213]

Get YOB - Catharsis and that's all you need really.

I second YOB.

Also check out Middian.

 

[Raptor7]

A trully sad news in the Funeral Doom world. Juhani, the leader of Collosseum and Yearning has passed away at 32 years old from unknown causes.
I am so sad. Rest in peace, genius.

 

[GoofPig]
