Wikipedia describes it thusly: “Doom Metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music that typically uses slower tempos, low-tuned guitars and a much "thicker” or "heavier" sound than other heavy metal genres. Both the music and the lyrics intend to evoke a sense of despair, dread, and impending doom.”
Black Sabbath are the first doom metal band. So if you want to know what traditional doom is, look no further than Sabbath. There are various other kinds of doom but I’m most partial to traditional doom.
Here are some bands you’ll enjoy if you like Sabbath
Electric Wizard (you might not enjoy some of their sludgier stuff, but starting with Witchult Today in 2007, they are basically Black Sabbath Jr. Absolutely love these guys)
Sleep
Pentagram
Candlemass (epic doom metal)
Cathedral
Orange Goblin
St. Virus
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats
Windhand
Pagan Altar
Other doom bands I’m less familiar with
Witchfinder General
Acid King
Count Raven (haven’t even listened to them yet lmao)
Church of Misery
Some lesser known ones
Doctor Smoke
Alastor
Devil’s Witches
Void Tripper
Mephistofeles

Here’s some Electric Wizard for you since they’re my 3rd favorite metal band after Sabbath and Metallica

An example of their earlier sludgier stuff. This is from what is considered their best album and is the song people went crazy for in the pit at the show I saw them at. It’s like Sabbath on steroids: https://youtu.be/i9gOAFa7bnk
Live version of that same song: https://youtu.be/EU0TUR-o6gE

Re: Poll: Best Metal Band of all time?
I like the name pentagram so I tried them first. Terrible.
Electric Wizard I'm checking out now. So far it's pretty bad, but more tolerable. I don't know man. This shit just all sounds muddy and lazy and dumb. I don't mean to shit on your taste, I can't help how it sounds to me.
I'm very interested in their references though. Pentagram seems overtly Satanist... not borderline at all. Electric Wizard seem Saturn-obsessed, and they seem to appropriately grasp the astrological archetype of Saturn. Are you a Satanist? Are you into astrology?

Do they have anything with more groove? I'm thinking of the most well-known Sabbath songs... Paranoid, War Pigs, Iron Man... very rhythmic stuff. Not muddy. All this shit sounds muddy as **** and rhythmically sloppy.

I absolutely love Tool, but I have a hard time considering them metal. I can see it though. so I guess that counts for something. Danny Carey is an actual god.

Come to think of it, you'd consider soad and ratm as metal wouldn't you? I guess I might have to drop it from 99% down to maybe 90%. I **** with those bands heavily.

I think you were either drunk or high when you said 99% of Metal is unlistenable lol.
All is forgiven. NOLA and VDOP are two of the greatest albums ever created.

I still dislike the vast majority of it. Mostly the incessant nature of the rhythms is what turns me off. Screaming doesn't help either. System and Pantera are both very groove-oriented and don't scream. Add Rage to that category if you consider them metal. And Tool likewise.
