I see no one has mentioned Black Shape Of Nexus. Absolutely crushing, utterly riff-based sludge (except the Microbarome Meetings album which is pure drone) from Germany. They have a couple of releases available for download on their website, especially the Live in Mannheim tape is devastating. I've given a shot to pretty much their whole discography and you can't go wrong with these guys.
I see these guys haven't been mentioned anywhere. I've been tripping on their album again. They've got a bit of a Church of Misery vibe going with the vocals and the guitar tones

AmenRa are totally awesome. I first came across them at Roadburn three or four years ago. And live they are really brooding and actually quite creepy as well.

This one is not bad either. Live version sounds bit better than the studio one.

Thanks to this thread, I've known Tides From Nebula. What a fantastic band.

Indeed, but totally out of place in this topic. I can still swallow heavy, sludgy post-rock bands like Russian Circles or Red Sparowes, but ASIWYFA are almost pure math rock.
Not that I'm the forum police. Just saying, if you're looking for heavy sludge stuff or something metallic, that band probably isn't the way to go. I really like that debut, though. They released a new album this year, called Gangs. I don't think it's quite as good, but still nice. (Battles' album Gloss Drop was my favorite math rock album of the year, I think.)

Hmmm, never listend to math rock before (at least not on purpose) but that ASIWYFA cut sounded pretty good to me. Sounds like something I could get into. Iron Angel, you can police this thread anytime you want. Your comments and suggestions are held in the highest regard...to me anyways!
Check it out for some uncomplicated, riff-oriented sludge!
Very nice!

Bandcamp has alot of good shit. You may have to give your email or some you may have to buy but at least you can get a preview for free and it's always in mp3 or FLAC format...small price to pay.
Here are a few more I have uncovered recently. I will not post links, google is your best friend! Heck, some of these may be on this website
Junius - Reports From The Threshold Of Death
Yes, this album is so good. It's really strange too, like a mixture of heavy post-rock/atmosludge, and shameless alt-rock anthems. So many big vocal hooks, but such a rich and interesting sound. I really recommend it to those who haven't heard it. Something a little similar, but not as heavy or catchy, is Laura's Twelve Hundred Times.
Didn't know the other ones (except Oceansize, but only casually). I'll look them up, thanks.
On the topic of Junius, has anyone heard the Junius/Rosetta split? Rosetta's side of the split was kinda disappointing but I really liked Junius. Especially this track, it's great.

I loved Junius when all they had to their name was the Blood Is Bright EP a long old time ago. I haven't been as impressed with them in recent years though but I'll give the new one a shot.

I haven't heard that EP yet, I'll check it out now
I recently discovered Monkey3. Their 2011 release beyond the black sky is pretty awesome.
i cant really describe the music but i think it fits to post/atmospheric at least
