Default Artists similar to 16 Horsepower?

I just came across them and I'm really, REALLY diggin it. Very excited to be delving into the general area of Bluegrass/Country! It seems to be the one broad genre of music I haven't found much enjoyment in and this amazing band has changed my mind.

Not very familiar with it overall... but I'm looking for the whole, 'dark and insane' tortured vibe that 16 Horsepower seems to have. I also like that their songs I've heard so far (the whole Sackcloth 'N Ashes album) tend to have a slower, almost avant garde tempo instead of the upbeat or country romance sort of mechanics that I've come to associate with most country music.

Any recs with this in mind are greatly appreciated! I can't post links yet as I'm new here but 'Black Soul Choir' by 16 HP is what I'm lookin for more of in a nutshell.
