Try looking at similar bands that come up when you do searches and things like that, their friends on Myspace, record label (biggest clue generally to finding more similar stuff), things like that will open up your avenues much more than any single band recommendation.

I feel that Insomnium, Swallow the Sun, Novembers Doom, and Opeth's harder stuff do sound similar......I found StS on Insomnium's myspace....so...I guess I will have to look harder

I really don't know what you're asking for. If you want good doom metal with death vocals, early My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, and Novembers Doom are the usual suspects but easily the most kickass.

And as for melodic death that isn't quite Gothenburg, you need some fucking Bloodbath. Dismember, Vader, and Amon Amarth definitely fall under that nonexistent category too.

I'll second that just because they're the only albums I have from each band

Well I have a slightly wider frame of reference and those are the decisions I've come to. That said, good choices on the only ones you have
