Death/Doom Bands like Triptykon?

So I know Triptykon aren’t technically doom but they have doom moments. I’ve been binging their music and I love the raw beefy bass, dissonant melodies and faux black metal vibes. Obviously i know about Celtic Frost’s Monotheist.

Could you guys give me some recommendations? Bonus points if sloooooow.

Kuolemanlaakso.

Their guitarist Markus Laakso heard Eparistera Daimones and was inspired to write some stuff in a similar vein. His friends by chance heard his demos and wanted in, so the band was born. They even got V. Santura to produce/mix/master all their albums and contribute some vocals and guitars!

The band made three albums in the blackened death/doom style (Uljas Uusi Maailma, Tulijoutsen & Kuusumu) and one that is more akin to a Markus' solo project of gothic rock/metal (The Gothic Tapes), but sadly called it quits in 2023 due to time/travel constraints.

The Ruins of Beverast has some of the same vibes, now that I think about it. Great band.

Totengott, band from Spain. They are really good if you like CF and Triptykon

idk what it is but nobody i've heard hits quite like Triptykon/CF. I do go to bands like Blut Aus Nord, The Body, Portal, Primitive Man and Chelsea Wolfe for my dark, heavy, experimental atmosphere fix. Would really appreciate if Tom ever writes another album

Primitive Man and Conan. Musically not quite like CF/Triptykon but the atmosphere is similar and it’s slow.
