• Leprous - The Flood
• *shels - Butterfly (on Luci's Way)
• Sólstafir - Necrologue
• Sleep Token - The Summoning

• Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God

And some slightly less accessible ones (Also Spotify links):

• Alter of Plagues - Found, Oval and Final
• Behemoth - Messe Noire
• The Angelic Process - Burning in the a Undertow of God
• Ihsahn - Arcana Imperii
• Bell Witch - Beneath the Mask
• or if you're feeling brave enough to listen to a single, album length sludge/doom track, Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper

I will also strongly second the already recommend Chelsea Wolfe, Opeth, Alcest, Orbit Culture and 3TEETH!

Sabaton recently found this band they are really good!

Shiroyama Killing ground And Primo Victoria These are just a few of my favorites of their songs.

Will take any excuse to recommend this album: Sybreed - The Pulse of Awakening

Not exactly like stereotypical metal, but I think Ok Goodnight and Atomic Guava count

Thornhill, Volumes, Spiritbox.
