I'm looking for any drone metal band that has releases that last like two or three hours, they don't have to sound like Sabazius, just have exaggeratedly long songs.

I don't know if all what the guy behind Until Death Overtakes me can be linked to drone, but it's certainly related. The base is Funeral Doom, it's slow, very slow and droney. Many songs are extra long.
I used to be a Sabazius' fan, but eventually I lost interest, the first couple of releases were amazing though.
Another band that might be of interest is Sea of Bones. Their songs are often 20 + minutes long.
20-minute songs are not uncommon in the doom scene, see Asunder for that matter: 'Rite of Finality' lasts 50 minutes.
Then Dopesmoker by Sleep. Long and boring.

If funeral doom is okay with you just try everything by Bell Witch, great band and the first album have some drone metal elements.

A couple doom bands come to mind.
There's Boris who have a couple of drone albums that last over 1 hour: Absolutego, Sun Baked Snow Cave and Flood (split up in 4 parts though)
Bongripper is a stoner doom band with albums like The Great Barrier Reefer and Heroin which last over 1 hour. Most of their songs last at least 10+ minutes.

Then you have Ocean Chief (stoner doom) and Pombagira (sludge) whose long dont go past one hour do do have songs of 20+ minutes. They do lack the experimental of Sabazius though.

Corrupted - LlenĂ¡ndose de gusanos is one of the few 2 hour drone metal releases I was familiar with.

You may also like to check out the drone band Bull of Heaven if you haven't already. They were notorious for insanely long tracks and very occasionally dabbled with heavier drone metal & stoner rock elements during their 2008-2014 period. These tracks are probably the ones most relevant to your request:
Axiom of Choice (3h27m)
Spacewalking Your New Way Home (1h58m)
Saints and Angels and Martyrs and Holy Men (3h48m)
Weed Problem II - V (2h14m)
Incoherently Babbling Self-Accusations (1h53m)
