What an unbelievably stupid comment. You may not like it but there are plenty of people that do, including myself, go fellate yourself with a cheesegrater.

I love black metal, and indeed most forms of metal (with the exception of power metal), but death metal is the most satisfying of all the genre's IMO.
 
Arch Enemy
In Flames
Dark Tranquillity
The Haunted
Children Of Bodom
Intestine Baalism
At The Gates
Decapitated
Diabolical
Ektomorf
Hatesphere
Hypocrisy
Iniquity
Illdisposed
Naglfar
Nasum
Opeth
Nightrage
Sigh
Within Y
Withering Surface
Cryptopsy
 
Here are a few kick ass technical metal banRAB:

Theory in practice (Very technical DM)
Domination through impurity (Very technical DM)
Cynic (Technical DM with progressive elements)

Behold...the arctopus (Instrumental & highly technical progressive metal)
Spiral architect (Technical progressive metal)
Coroner (Technical thrash metal)
Confessor (Technical doom metal)
Soilent green (Somewhat techy Death/Grind/Doom metal)
 
Well to be honest it's not actually that surprising, since doom metal has never been the most popular of metal genre's, as it's probably one of the most difficult to get in to.

It was pioneered by Sabbath back in the late 70's/early 80's. As you can guess, it's generally slow paced metal, which uses extremely heavy riffing and bass work, with the main aim being to crush and depress the listener.

There are quite a few sub-genre's, with the main ones being traditional doom, which uses clean vocals and is probably the most accessible, extreme doom, which is generally DM influenced and has growled vocals, stoner doom, which is psychedelic and very groove orientated and then you've got drone doom, which is generally ultra-slow, very repetative, but also crushingly intense.

Opeth to me have always sounded like a slightly more upbeat and progressive extreme doom band.

Some good doom banRAB:

Disembowelment (Death/doom)
Winter (Death/doom)
Confessor (Technical doom)
Sunn 0))) (Drone doom)
Trouble (Trad doom)
Witchfinder general (Trad doom)
Earth (Drone doom)
Electric wizard (Stoner doom)
Candlemass (Epic trad doom)
