Help me find an artist I forgot the name of.

I while ago I stumbled upon a traditional doom metal band that I thought as really interesting, I wanna go back and relisten to them BUT, I cant for the life me remember their name or the album name.

The were traditional doom/ gothic doom, male vocalist with a super deep voice cleanish vocals but the cleans occasionally pushed into kinda growls.

They used church organs as a large part of their sound and the album cover was yellow/tan with black lettering and black line art.

Thanks for any help!

Heavier power metal recommendations

Blind Guardian, and Helloween are some of my all time favorite bands, my favorite parts of their discography is when they are their heaviest, trashiest, and fastest. Im also I fan of the USPM/ Power-Thrash style of bands like Sanctuary, Iced Earth, Manilla Road. Im looking for recommendations for PM push the extremity without becoming melodeath/black.

Thank You :)

Last time I made a post like this, I got some great recommendations. So here we go again, albums I love that I think don't get as much attention on here as they deserve.

DoomSword - Resound the Horn || Epic Heavy/ Doom, FFO Candlemass, Cirith Ungol, Manilla Road. DoomSword is the most "Epic" sounding metal I've ever heard, with powerful vocals and catchy melodies. The album is the culmination of their sound, and it's a shame that DoomSword aren't held to the same regard as their Epic Heavy/ Epic Doom peers.

Candlemass - King of the Grey Islands || Ok, I know Candlemass is anything but niche/ unknown, but I've always felt KotGI and the Rob Lowe era of the band as a whole is woefully underrated among Candlemass' discography. In my opinion, KotGI is the best Candlemass album since Nightfall. If you love Candlemass and haven't listened to any of the three Lowe albums (KotGI, Death Magic Doom, or Psalms for the Dead), I can't recommend them enough.

Pilgrim - Misery Wizard || This Rhode Island-based band followed the Reverend Bizarre style of true doom, as opposed to the bluesier style common to the East Coast USA. Dark, heavy, and wickedly miserable, if you like the Finnish Doom Style, you'll love Misery Wizard.
