    Well, If The Two Available Songs Are Anything to Go By, The New Countess...

    Most technically proficient guitarists possess the ability to write the riffs themselves, but the genius of Mütiilation - esp. circa Vampires/Remains - is that Mey'nach had and has a level of compositional skill that lets him arrange them into some of the greatest BM songs of all time.

    Suffocation

    I'd recommend buying the Effigy Of The Forgotten/Pierced From Within reissue; The End has it for $16. That's two excellent albums at a very good price.

    Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss

    My first was Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, but Burzum/Aske or Det Som Engang Var would probably be better to start with; but don't get me wrong - HLTO was definitely one of, if not the best thing Vikernes recorded under the Burzum project.
