Big Sunn O))) fan here too, although I don't know much more bands in the genre. Earth and a couple of others in the Southern Lord family but that's about it.
But yeah Sunn O))), totally : White2, ØØ Void, Monoliths & Dimensions... The band has so many excellent records it's hard to pick just one favorite album. I've never seen them live though, but I know their performances are infamous for being quite ... extreme :)
If you have any recommendations though I'm all ears, always love to discover new music.
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.Can't think of much modern metal I utterly despise more than drone doom (Sunn O))), Khanate, Earth, Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine etc) except maybe the indie/post-rock/shoegaze influenced stuff but I can enjoy something like dISEMBOWELMENT which served as an inspiration for it. I tend to lean more towards traditional doom personally. Stoner, gothic, funeral, "psychedelic", melo-death, and other such modern variants I don't bother with save for a select few exceptions. I lean more towards Saint Vitus, Revelation (Maryland), Candlemass, Doomsword, Dantesco, Litany (Grc), Forsaken (Mlt), Pagan Altar, Dawn of Winter (Ger), and Blood Farmers personally.

Only Death Is RealDoom Metal is great, I like most of it personally, though I prefer Traditional (Vitus, The Obsessed, Trouble, Pagan Altar, Witchfinder General), Epic (Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Count Raven), Stoner (Kyuss, Sleep, Monster Magnet, Electric Wizard, QOTSA, Fu Manchu, etc.), Death/Doom (MDB, Paradise Lost, Anathema, Winter, dISEMBOWELMENT, November's Doom) and Funeral (Shape of Despair, Funeral, Evoken, Thergothon, Mournful Congregation) Doom Metal. I also like some of the older Sludge Metal bands (Crowbar, Eyehategod, Fudge Tunnel) and some of the newer bands that play that style.
I have nothing against Post-Metal, but I don't classify it as Doom Metal. It's a separate category, IMO.
