Full of droning psychedelic dirges that you'd swear have somehow slipped you LSD, England's Esoteric are recognized masters of the disaffected, the damaged, and the dead. Epistemological Despondency is a study in madness, capturing the mind as it spirals into depression tinged with schizophrenia. Most of Esoteric's albums have a different feel. I'm most familiar with The Maniacal Veil (after Epistemological Despondency) and keys feature more prominently, capturing a baroque quality to the ever present, and ever fragile, sanity of the proceedings.
Excellent music for writing, driving in bad weather, playing outside your house on Halloween.
Pure drone/funeral doom - stone-cold classic
A bit closer to death/doom (at least this track) - shows a bit of their variation.
