hey digi! I'm not sure what qualifies as obvious in the doom/sludge world anymore outside of like, mastodon and baroness. that said, here's some stuff I enjoyed recently:

subrosa - for this we fought the battle of ages (maybe obvious? i dunno. anyway, these guys are super unique and this album is their most creative yet. almost has a silver mt. zion vibe, which is pretty remarkable for a doom record)
tempel - the moon lit our path (probably the best instrumental sludge album I've ever heard. okay, that's a short list. but these guys are great at what they do.)
thou - heathen (reaching back a bit here, but goddamn this is huge. absolutely crushing and uncompromising, yet somehow still cathartic. I can't listen to this often but it nails its vibe completely.)

the latest inter arma and oathbreaker records got a lot of hype too, though I wasn't so big on them. I really liked the advance single from the new Pallbearer too, despite finding their earlier stuff kind of dull. should check the album out myself!
