If you wanted to talk about Scandinavian bands that fit this description there are a few.
I don't really know much about the American scene. I do like the Canadian Blood Ceremony

Creed

Kyuss pales in comparison to a lot of the bands listed here. Finding a groove, turning up to 11 then moving on to listen to rush Limbaugh or Sean hannity or whatever the fuck that idiot is into is not my idea of a great band.

I really dig the soloing in the last minute of "Hessian", the drumming in the second half of "Face of Oblivion" (but not so much the guitar part), the title track & "Cross the Bridge" in their entirety

someone upthread mentinoed Bardo Pond, who I am unfamiliar with--where do you recommend starting?

I haven't heard anything by them I didn't like, though the early material is a little growing-painy. Amanita/Lapsed/Dilate are my favorite three. Also the recent Record Store Day EPs they did of epic cover versions of other peoples songs are worth a download.

ya I downloaded the Funkadelic/P.Sanders one, pretty groovy

Slough Feg

I want to like Slough Feg but it just doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

harvey milk is still the only one i can think of. as far as current bands that i like as much as klassic kyuss. i really do like klassic kyuss a bunch. (but i only really LOVE a couple of harvey milk albums. and appreciate/respect/enjoy the others, but maybe not love...)

What r best Harvey Milk albums? (asking for a friend)
― Vomits of a Missionary (bernard snowy), Saturday, 4 October 2014 21:09 (nine years ago) link
Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men
That's my favorite at least

Tommy Gun Angel (opening track off Lapsed) was my entryway into Bardo Pond and is as sublime a composition as there ever was to walk that thin line between sludge metal and shoegaze*
*first encountered it in the nominations thread for Moka's shoegaze thread

Man, Bardo Pond's self-titled album from 2010 is a fucking masterpiece and has to be one of the greatest American hard rock albums of the past 15 years
