Zeni Geva deserves more credit, great to see them mentioned. You probably know Neurosis and Melt Banana but those might also be up your alley.

Other noteworthy Albini-engineered bands for me: Oxbow, Low, Whitehouse, Labradford, Burning Witch, Godspeed's U.X.O album. Peter Sotos' Buyer's Market is one of the most insane albums I've ever had the displeasure to listen to, and Albini apparently produced it, although I don't hear any obvious influence.

The Albini-produced Whitehouse albums seem to be underloved because they're a weird transitional period between the group's more famous "wasps fighting" and "broken African robot" sounds, but they're some of the best releases. There's a decadent and sinister competence to them that can't be heard in the earlier buzzier material.
