Heavy in standard tuning?

[SteveXFR]

In the past Ive always tuned down to C or lower for anything heavy. I know where im going when its low but the guitarist im playing with now doesn't want to tune more than a semitone below standard. 

Its a new challenge for me so ill give it a bash but I need some inspiration. Classic 70's and 80's stuff doesn't really do anything for me (Sabbath being the exception) and were not going to be playing thrash, death or black metal. 

Has anyone got any recommendations for doom and stoner metal in standard tunings? All I can find is Clutch

Pretty sure Fu Manchu use D standard.

Thanks. I like a bit of Fu Manchu. Id just assumed they'd be in C

Red Fang tune in standard, I believe (and maybe Green Lung as well).

Not doom, more stoner and other things, we play in Eb standard!

Syncolima example tune

I have a question for all the beard twitchers out there regarding this subject ..

I have one of my basses setup b-e-a d . Would that work with all the other tunings mentioned above ??

with all the variations it can get a bit Lionel messy , so for me ( who is not bothered about bands anymore) it’s either standard tuning or BEAD .
