Nothing wrong with a little electronic music my friend.
I recently found a really cool power metal band called Noble Beast that have been kicking my ass.

I recommend listening to
Behold the Face of your Enemy. The singer's voice is very deep for the genre, though he does do some wailing highs, too. It's nice to listen to metal with proper singing sometimes, no?
Continuing on that theme, there's another little known band called Arch Nemesis who released one of my favourite albums. It's generally considered "dark power metal" but it really only has a couple of power metal songs, this being amongst them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvvSeyFl8C0
They're a bit "janky" in some ways, with some imperfect playing and production errors here and there, but they're never outright sloppy and the whole album just has this beautiful, mystical atmosphere, especially when you listen to it as a whole rather than individual songs.
But really, up until recently I was listening mostly to orchestral music and atmospheric, alternative stuff like Slowdive or Lisa Germano. I wound up getting back into metal doing vocals on an atmospheric black metal project of my friend's and since then I've been digging out all my old doom metal and black metal albums and rocking the fuck out. Been finding a lot of new great stuff to listen to as well.
Instead of going for the obvious names like Emperor or Drudkh or My Dying Bride, let's keep plugging shit nobody's ever heard of

Try
Distant Haze Was Arising. I was a little put off by the vocals at first (very shrill shrieking), but the beautiful melodies won me over and they do kinda contribute to the atmosphere of suffering.

Somewhat more accessible. Something of a cross between black and doom metal without being DSBM. Great melodies, nice vocals, lovely atmosphere.

One-woman atmospheric black metal project. All those choir-like chants are all her and they're pretty amazing. The vocals seem to be a lot better recorded than the electric guitars, but they have a kind of pleasant fuzziness to them. There are some great traditional and neo-folk elements to this, too. It's another one with a very sorrowful atmosphere.

This one is a bit more well known. Empyrium actually helped get me into some of the weirder, more sorrowful metal that I love as well as neo-folk. The neo-folk elements are VERY strong with this one and the band would go into an entirely folk direction with future albums. For now enjoy this folk/doom metal masterpiece!
There's lots of really great stuff in this thread. Nice variety, too! It really shows the breadth of the music that metal encompasses.
