..and on a more modern note, for deep vocals and songs that kick a** try the Faces of Sarah or Killing Miranda (especially the last album).
For sheer bouncyness and chorus's you can really hum, try Manuskript
Or for something a bit slower, The Ghost of Lemora.

Its an awesome album and its just a real shame that its never in the top metal albums lists because there are a lot of amazing tracks and stunning guitar playing on it by Gregor McKintosh.Badlander wrote:I much prefer Draconian times. I know it's been a subject for debate.mugabe wrote:

You could try Occult by 'Opened Paradise' which is an amazing old style goth rock album played in the vein of Fields of the Nephilim and with some other gothic rock influences from the 80s. It also has a stunning closing track called 'Distant Walks Through Shifting Light' which is nearly as good as 'Last Exit For the Lost' by Fields of the Nephilim.

This might tread some of the same ground as some others (though I'll try not to do so), but here goes...
You might like Sixteen Horsepower. They've got a creepy backwoods country vibe going on, I'd especially recommend Low Estate and everything after. They're a religious group, by the way, but don't let that stop you, they were the bees (exceedingly creepy) knees.
In a similar vein, I'd recommend Jay Munly's solo work (especially Jimmy Carter Syndrome, a record that I can't recommend enough) and the group he's involved with, Slim Cessna's Auto Club (in particular, Always Say Please and Thank You is a fantastic record). The Auto Club is out on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label.
In a less organic vein, I've become quite a fan of Jessica's Crime. Gone to Texas is a rather good record. I can hear shades of a lot of different things in their sound--punk rock, Morricone cowboy movie music, old country, industrial, etc (all sorts of things--the song 'Texas Skies' sort of reminds me of The Fall a little bit; incidentally, you might like them too). I've mentioned them on here before, and I took the plunge and bought the record. It's quite good. They have some tunes here: http://www.myspace/jessicascrime
A few people have recommended Mark Lanegan; he's definitely got one of the coolest voices in rock. He began with a sort of whiskey-edged baritone, but is now approaching Tom Waits territory (ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but he's definitely got one of those voices that sounds better when it's been abused). The inaccurately named Bubblegum is a killer record, as is the Here Comes That Weird Chill Again: Methamphetamine Blues ep that preceded it. His earlier stuff is more sparse than either of these records, rather folksy in fact. He also did time in a band called Screaming Trees, sort of a psychadelic/punk prone to occasional moments of genius. I think that he is probably the only major talent to emerge out of the 1990's Seattle grunge explosion. Oh, and with that in mind, Mudhoney are just a really great dirty punk band, if you go for that sort of thing. Also, Queens of the Stone Age--to which Lanegan is a sometimes contributor--are also a bloody good band.
Nick Cave's Grinderman project is interesting. I know some people on here like it more than I do. Some of it's brillilant, some of it's not--which is basically my assessment of everything he's done since what i think is his last truly great record, The Boatman's Call.
And while it's more than likely not what you're looking for, I've recently been getting into Chrome a little bit. HalfMachineLipMoves is the grandaddy to anything calling itself industrial-rock. Noisy, low-fi, and probably fueled by more copious drugs use than anything this side of Keith Richards, it's pretty neat. Really, it's hard to put this record into words.
Again, in a similar vein, if you've never heard Einsturzende Neubauten, I'd suggest checking them out. The early stuff is much more noisy than the later stuff. I tend to prefer the later stuff, and would recommend Ende Neu and Silence is Sexy.
If you've never heard anything by Leonard Cohen--a huge influence on the Sisters, natch--I'd recommend checking him out. Among my favorites is Cohen Live, which has a gorgeous rendition of 'Dance Me to the End of Love,' as well as others. I may be in the minority in this, but I also think Ten New Songs ranks with the best of his earlier work.
Oh, and I'll second the recommendation on Fields of the Nephilim's second LP, The Nephilim. I don't think they ever made a record as close to perfect as this one; the only time Carl comes close ever again is with Zoon. The new one I think is ruined by the production. It just sounds too digital for my tastes.
Hopefully something I've suggested will tickle your fancy. Enjoy.
