Exclude anything with -core attached to it. Death and Black is what I am looking for.

EDIT: It is purposely vague because I am starting a Fanzine and want a large slew of bands to review that are within my region to bring attention

Goatwhore? You really should clarify a bit more. Your request is much too vague.

I edited so that the vagueness is explained.

Classic Louisiana sludge bands are a good start, they have a very "Southern" sound, and a lot of the members have branched out into black/death metal. I'm sure you have heard of a bunch of these, but look into what the members are doing.

Acid Bath (sludge)
Crowbar (sludge)
Down (sludge)
Eyehategod (sludge/doom)
Goatwhore (black/death)
Soilent Green (death/grind/sludge)

As far as the "Southern US", what do you consider the south? Florida? Arizona? New Mexico? Tennesee? You can generally pick a band from a state and simply click around the archives and find a lot of bands from the same region, and a lot of those associated with established acts are glad to give interviews, and they appreciate quality press attention in the underground.
