That's all stuff I'm not as familiar with, but I move slow.

not surprised, the only one from your list I've heard of is Sunn0))). There seems to be a ton of bands in this sub-genre. Maybe it's because anyone with a guitar and garage band can record a power-chord being held for 5minutes over white noise.

Yeah, there's definintely a lot of crap in this subgenre out there, but every now and then you come across something like Sunn0))) & Boris' Altar from last year, and you have a revelatory experience. I've been digging deep into Nadja/Aidan Baker this last year for just that reason...dude is ridiculously prolific (like 10-15 albums per year under various monikers) and each one is full of epic melodies that rip dark and dank-like. The recent split release he did with Atavist and Satori is a great example.
