The diminished scale is also used extensively by some players (Yngwie is one example), and then more exotic scales such as the Hindustan, which has been used by Kirk Hammet in the 'olden days' of Metallica.
Do a search on Google for scale construction and you should find the intervals necessary to construct these sounds.
The chromatic scale is also a good choice, and if you are going for that Black Sabbath vibe the blues scale with an emphasis on the b5 note will do the trick!
