Man I didn't catch Dopethrone when I first read your post. Loved that album after History of Bad Men was featured in True Detective.

But A History of Bad Man is a Melvins song, not Electric Wizard's...

Too many to pick from, man.
For anything post 80s, it will be mainly Black and Doom bands for me.
