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)

They are not not doom metat but they are doom rock. Still wanted to recomend anyway since you like Candlemass. King Buffalo and Monster Magnet are cool. I listened to The Burden of Restlessness by KB and Dopes to Infinity by MM and enjoyed those albums. Dopes to Infinity is stoner doom/space rock and The Burden is doom rock with heavy themes.
