Check out Wovenhand and 16 Horsepower.
Warning - Watching From A Distance and the later band 40 Watt Sun mix doom metal with melancholic slowcore sort of stuff a la Low and Red House Painters.
Dead Can Dance - Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun is a classic of the epic and grandiose atmospheric style.
Current 93, Coil, Andrew King, Blood Axis, Death In June, Endura and Der Blutarsch are all worth a look if you find the Neo Folk side of things.
Also, Sigur Ros and, from a bit further back, Popol Vuh.
Neil Young's three consecutive early 1970's albums "Time Fades Away", "On The Beach" and Tonight's The Night are considered by many fans the Rosetta Stone to understanding his entire body of work. Because of their dark, haunting brilliance, the albums are known as "The Ditch Trilogy".In the often quoted hand written liner notes of Decade, Neil writes: " 'Heart of Gold' put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch." Hence, the origin of the "Ditch" term -- which is sometimes also referred to as the "Doom" period or "The Wilderness Years".
A truly beautiful piece of music.
