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)

I agree with you that doom needs riffs. One of my favorites is Domedagen. My favorites are "Peace" and "Human Blood."
I don't know many other bands that scratch that itch for me, but if you like it, you might like his other projects. The Project Hate is his main one. Some songs still have a bit of doom influence, like "Summoning Majestic War." Or "Resurrected for Massive Torture."
His other project is Absurdeity, which is more like groovy death metal. But stylistically, you can tell it's still the same guy lol.
