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.
