great thread; it actually got me back into listening to metal a few months ago, and got me into doom metal which i had never really explored before. I've been on a heavier streak lately:
Dragged into Sunlight - Hatred for Mankind is an amazingly brutal doomy, sludgy, deathy album. Awesome, awesome stuff.

Their newer album Widowmaker is a bit different and does not have the same intensity, but it has grown on me:

Keeping with the sludge/doom/death theme is Lord Mantis - Pervertor. Their newer album Death Mask has a few gems on it including the title track and Negative Birth, but I prefer the first record:

Along the same lines is Coffinworm:

And finally, Leviathan - Scar Sighted. Black metal, nice atmosphere and an album with good flow. Another one that grew on me.
