Nobody has mentioned Sleep yet, as far as I can see. This is a crime.
Sleep, OM, High on Fire, Neurosis, Acid King, Clutch, UFOmammut, Pelican, Baroness, Earth, Bongripper, Electric Wizard, Isis, Boris, Eternal Elysium, Earthride, Grand Magus, Zoroaster ... the heavier it is, the more I like it.
I don't know how many true metalheads would classify Monster Magnet, Orange Goblin, Kyuss, Colour Haze, The Atomic Bitchwax, Bardo Pond, Dead Meadow, Earthless, The Flower Travellin' Band, Acid Mothers Temple, Mammatus, Thumlock, and other bands that I think are best described as "heavy psychedelic rock" as metal ... but they're all fucking awesome.
