I love these guys after discovering them from that song, they cover such a wide range of styles across their albums. I've yet to get the album it's from though, you've reminded me I should, thanks!

There's nobody quite like Crowbar. The song Planets Collide and the album, Odd Fellows Rest, upon which it features are my favourites.

I like a few songs but hadn't looked them up further. That first track you shared is brilliant though, along with their cover of Led Zeppelin's No Quarter my dad recently shared this has really piqued my interest further. As @Daftbrown said they're pretty unique but YOB are somewhat in the same vein, sludgy but perhaps more doom, excellent in their own right in my opinion.

had a listen not my thing, more Doomy as you say, the search continues! Thanks for your suggestions tho!
Have you listened to the band Down?
Kirk Windstein plays guitar for them. Kirk essentially is Crowbar, the other band members have changed many times over the years.
Nola is Down's first and I would say best album. It's different to Crowbar but really very good. The rest of the band is made up of members of Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity and Eyehategod.

For anyone out there who are interested in metalcore you should check out these guys. Currents, August burns Red and Breakdown of Sanity might not be for everyone but sometimes its good just to lose yourself in the music.
Me likely..

New Carcass EP - album out next year. Practically grandads now but Bill Steer can still write a riff or two.

Speaking of blasts from the past, this sounds like it was recorded in the early 90’s in Florida... during an LSD trip, but no, 2019!
Actually I like that - heavier chug works really nicely and the keyboard with distortion added also works nicely.

From the German band - Ad Cinerem - who sound like a slower, heavier "Doom metal" version of Amon Amarth who I've been listening to over the past week or so. They only have two albums out, their debut 2016 "Shadows of Doubt" and their 2018 EP "Of Earth and Ashes", which is where this song "Death of a Wanderer" is taken.

Used to really like them around Great Mass / Titan era but their later releases didn't grab me. Will watch this though thanks for sharing!
