Acid Witch

Acid Witch are an enigmatic, low-profile oddity from Michigan, who've got an interesting style on their 2008 debut, the wonderfully entitled Witchtanic Hellucinations. With a title like that, let's go with "psychedelic death doom" as a description of their sound, as this features downtuned, sludgey, simplistic riffs, very low death growls, and a healthy dose of spacey, drug-infused trippiness in the form of keyboard or guitar effects. The tempo rarely gets above midpace, usually wallowing in the slower doom speed. It's actually pretty cool, though pretty much the same throughout the album. Definitive lineup information (as well as detailed info about the band) seems hard to come by.
