No, they do make doom metal. It's in similar context (or at least some of their work) to Celtic Frost and Novembre's recent material. But overall they lean to neofolk, really.

i'd say early black metal with heavy neo-folk influences. It's hard to listen to The Mantle and ignore the BM aspects of it.

The black metal is just like the progressive metal, it is very little. The doom and neofolk aspects are most dominant.

My personal favourite Vitus album is V. Goatsnake sort of suck.
Electric Wizard's best is probably Dopethrone...

Sheavy are pretty awesome. They're so much like early Sabbath its unbelievable, even the vocalist sounds like Ozzy.

Their un-traditional in a doom sense seeing as their not as 'thick sounding' as say
Electric Wizard but If you're a fan of Early Sabbath you're bound to like them.
