Warthur
On Boldly Stride the Doomed, their second album, Argus play an interesting blend of traditional doom metal in the Candlemass school and more energetic traditional heavy metal with mild NWOBHM influences. The end result takes a little getting used to, but it's a blend which has grown on me somewhat over time. It doesn't at first feel particularly revolutionary - listen to any random snippet and you might think it's just any other extract from a Sabbath or Iron Maiden soundalike, but when you put those ingredients together and the two sounds blend you end up with an interesting hybrid of the two styles which works better than I'd have thought.
