Well, Salvation is similar to Somewhere Along the Highway, so pick that up if you havent already. Cult of Luna and The Beyond (and all the EP's and stuff they also realeased that I haven't listened to that much) are really different, they remind me a bit of early Isis. I don't know what that genre is called, but I would guess on "sludge", it's really raw and dirty, but still has these build up elements. Check it out aswell, it's quite good even though it's not really the same.
And for similar bands, check out Callisto, Isis (both late and early, but I would recommend you on checking out late first), Neurosis and Khoma, they are kind of similar and I think you would enjoy them.
And well, for playing music like this, I don't know if a lesson can help you with that, just listen to the music and get a band with 8 member and you'll do just fine.
