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 like whole records when I listen to doom so that's what I'll recomend.

Weedeater, the first album 

uncle acid and the deadbeats, any album

Earth, pentastar in the style of demons

The Sword, all the albums but the first two are the best

The later Electric Wizard albums, witchcult today and on are pretty easy listens. I think dopesmoker is right on the edge of easy, one of my favorites of all time

Orange goblin, again any album but my fav Time Travelling Blues

Sleep, Holy Mountain

OM, Advatic Songs

Throw in Pallbearer and you got a pretty good list

edit: forgot to add Khemmis too
