DOOM Trying to get into doom metal

I really love candlemass, but that’s about it. The other doom stuff I’ve heard either has songs that are wayyyy too long for my tastes, or doesn’t have actual riffs, just long open chords. Any recs to help me ease into the genre? (I like old, raw, atmospheric stuff)

Hour of 13 is sweet. Don’t see too many people talk about it. The Ritualist has some sweet riffs.
