Lol.

I have a couple recommendations of some lesser-known bands.

My first would be Giant Squid, a progressive-doom metal band from California, and a personal favorite of mine.  They're relatively new, and just released their second album (The Ichthyologist) last year, although I would recommend their first album, Metridium Fields.  Imagine a mix between sludgy-doom riffs, progressive experimentation, Serj Tankian-esque vocals, and some post-rock tendencies with longer compositions and echoey guitars all leading up to epic, doomy finales.  Check it out:


Some other good songs: Versus the Siren, Ampullae of Lorenzini

Another favorite of mine is a German band called Ahab, who play a kind of funeral doom metal that's incredibly massive and heavy, with slow-churning riffs, low guitars, and deep, gutteral vocals with lots of oceanic themes.  Highly recommended for more traditional doom metal fans.



Also, if you aren't listening to Sunn O))) yet, you should do that too.
