Jex Thoth is the MAAAAD NOTES! Don't think their bassist blows me out of the water, but their s/t record is fantastic. Love her voice.
I fell in love with Dixie Dave of Weedeater when the band opened for Corrosion of Conformity in 2005
. Awesome distorted tones-- P-Bass through a bunch of oldschool Sunn.

Gotta love the way he EQs his amps - treble at 0, everything else at 10.
Masked Jackel:
Yeah, I mean...they're only the basis for the subgenre...
True, i always consider them Doom/Heavy, but some people dont see it that way.

Straight from Wiki:
"Doom metal is a form of heavy metal music that typically employs very slow tempos, low-tuned guitars and a much 'thicker' or 'heavier' sound than other metal genres. Both the music and the lyrics intend to evoke a sense of despair, dread, and impending doom.
The genre is strongly influenced by the early work of Black Sabbath,who formed a prototype for doom metal with songs such as "Black Sabbath" and "Into the Void". During the first half of the 1980s, a number of bands from England (Pagan Altar, Witchfinder General) and the United States (Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Trouble) defined doom metal as a distinct genre."

Check out Thrones; the only member is Joe Preston, former bassist for the Melvins and High on Fire. Here's a list of videos of Thrones live: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=thrones+joe+preston&search_type=&aq=f. I'm working on a one-man band myself which will involve some heavy sludgy doom metal, albeit my "l33t" factor is nonexistent right now until I record something.
I was lucky enough to see Preston with High on Fire on the Blessed Black Wings tour. Saw em with Kylesa
Oh and has anyone checked this:

Would you say Acid Bath were a Doom Metal band? Or perhaps they incorporated it into their swamp sludgery?
Any news about this? I'm dying to hear it too.
EDIT: Surfed the net a lil' bit and found out that the album is recored and now the mastering, artwork, etc. needs to be done and voila! They're even having their first show soon.
