PART THREE: THE BIG BOYS (Doom Metal)
Take doom metal and transcribe it into Metal and you get a blend made in hell (this is a good thing). I've mentioned Sleep's Dopesmoker, but truly it evades labelling because Sleep is its own beast.
Now as for Doom Metal, here are some references that speak for themselves:
Reverend Bizarre - Slow, emotionally powerful, soul-crushing doom.
Electric Wizard's Dopethrone is easily one of the best doom metal albums of all time.
Katatonia incorporates elements of gothic metal, which became very popularized by bands like My Dying Bride and Type O Negative.
Warning is absolutely devastating.
There is much more of course but this will do for now. I'll return with the extreme side of doom in a few hours.

Minimalist doom works on the extreme spectrum of exploring a particular aspect of doom to its full extent. Usually it's strongly based in reflexivity, delving into soundscapes that are only - to my knowledge - present in doom. It's minimalistic, but it's not necessarily barren, it depends. There's a deep exploration of repetition, slow tempo and vibration. It's much more common to find growls and screams here aswell, as they fit thematically.
Thergothon is a classic example of what is known as "funeral doom", which is a dragged, slow paced, repetitive kind of doom focused on depression and a fixation of death and dying. Bands like Mournful Congregation take the idea of funeral doom to the extreme of actually pacing their songs to the rythm of a funeral dirge, sometimes using church organs and chants.
"Drone" strips the song of its musicality and rythm, creating a sound mindbilly-goat that's designed to break your natural tendency to seek harmony and coherence. The pleasure is derived from experiencing vibration and repetition, it's a purely sensorial experience. Sunn 0))) (named after the amps) are possibly the most famous band in the genre.
Corrupted are doom metal gods that mastered a sort of sludge doom inspired by funeral and drone, and it's incredibly devastating.
...and speaking of sludge,

PART FOUR - DIE (Sludge)
What if you took doom metal and added a dab of the good old hardcore punk rage? You get Sludge. Sludge is a music genre that blends all of these things, and it's in my understanding the extreme root of the now widely popular "post-metal" (think bands like Isis or Mastodon). Sludge is abrasive, violent and nihilistic. Although not necessarily "doom", it fits the ambience, and it's too influential to ignore.

FINALE
Granted this was an overview. Not only do labels shift, bands never clearly fit into one comfortably (Amen Ra is sludge but it's also post-metal). Anyway, here are some bands to finish things off.
Neurosis - not for the weak-hearted.
Daylight Dies - an example of what can be considered "Death Doom", which is a kind of doom metal that robs influences from melodic death metal.
Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats is a great recent band that takes elements from classic doom, stoner rock and psyrock.
Pallbearer is hip among the kids.
Anyway, I hope this was helpful. Hmu for more doom.

at least people are actually contributing to this thread now though I like that. I've listened to some of that melvins album too by the way. I don't remember it sounding like that.

I should just go ahead and suggest some niche weird metal bands that I enjoy
A concept album about a metal band going punk to make money, goofy as billy-goat
burpcore
avant-garde death metal
rush style music with metal vocals
drone
more droneish style metal, but with more happening than just 4 notes played over and over again

Khanate is brilliant, it's the one band that I can truly say I don't enjoy but for good reasons. It's not meant to be enjoyable. I'd go as far as call it anti-music. Don't watch this video if you don't feel like being disturbed.
The concept remings me of antidoom, which is predicated on the notion that doom is too pleasant.
Pleasing the jazz crowd, you guys might enjoy "doom jazz", or dark jazz as I prefer calling it, a very niche genre dedicated to playing the sort of bohemian tunes you find in film noir and detective stories. I love listening to Bohren while I study.

Dark jazz being nothing new, of course, and having already been covered by the man himself, of billy-goating course.
Edit: I guess "doom jazz" is labelled as such for other reasons, relating to the crowd more than the sound itself. Bohren play at doom festivals, that's how I got to know them. The slow tempo and sax fit thematically, and since it's a particularly dark form of dark jazz, it's coherently moody.
