Does anyone else have "unexpectedly doom" songs from artists not generally considered doom?

So yeah like, AIC isn't doom but some of the early shit is sludgy af. Frogs hits like doom, not crunchy and it's got the grungy raw alternative sound but structurally. There's some other stuff like Them Bones, Rooster.

Type O Negative did a killer cover of Black Sabbath that's doomier than the original. But they have a couple other doomy tracks like World Coming Down.

Nirvana - Paper Cuts just needs to run through a few more distortion filters. Maybe a cover by Ahab would do it.

I love when this happens, I call it doom adjacent

Believe in No Coming Shore by Falls of Rauros is a less talked about track fits this bill. Even if FoR typically has some vaguely doom vibes to their brand of black metal, this track especially brings the doomy goodness
