Stoner Rock / Stoner Metal

Stoner rock (or stoner metal) is a sub-genre of rock and heavy metal music combining elements of psychedelic rock, blues-rock, traditional heavy metal and doom metal. Stoner rock is typically slow-to-mid tempo and features low-tuned guitars, a bass-heavy sound, melodic vocals, and 'retro' production.

Welcome to the Sky Valley is the best Kyuss album imo, but Blues is also great.

Boris. Some HEAVY Japanese stoner rock. They have tons of albums and dont like being pigeonholed in one genre. Start with Smile, Akuma No Uta, and/or Heavy Rocks.
