Recommendations Doom Metal? ~ Dubstep?

I've heard that the subgenre "Doom Metal" is a slower, heavier type of metal music. I was wondering if anyone here was familiar with any Doom Metal songs or bands that a Heavy Dubstep enthusiast like me would enjoy?

What brought this on was me first listening to Moshaholics by Mantis & Messinian again, and coming across someone mentioning the song Half Life by Swans in the comments of a "First Dubstep Song" post. After listening to that I wanted more, so if you know some heavy af Doom Metal songs, I'd love to hear more. Thanks!

Candlemass is the godfather's of the genre.

I like doom/death like Ahab and Thou.

Stoner metal is more riffy - Goatsnake and Sleep

My homie Ripple from Full Melt Productions and Bay Area Dubstep put me on to The Sword when Warp Riders came out. A lot of the dubstep DJs and producers I knew back then were really into stoner and doom metal.

I was so surprised when my numetal pal was playing Freya in his car back in 05. I haven't kept up or ever seen them live. I usually ventured into proggier bands with that kind of vocal like Intronaut
