For (semi)slow and plodding, I'd lean toward my favorite sludge metal band, Mastodon. "Iron Tusk" gets nice N heavy at 1:30 into the song.

I'm quite fond of Mastodon, especially "Blood Mountain". I love the way the drums kick off that album. It reminds me of the SFX they used for the cars on The Flintstones

Robert, Umea seems to be a breeding ground for metal talent. Is it a small rural town?
