I've been listening to Darkthrone's Soulside Journey and Goatlord this eve, and I really like their take on death metal. The riffs are twisting and bizarre. The drumwork is very dynamic, with a wide variety of rhythms and tempos - not just constant, monotonous blasting. And Fenriz's raspy vocals add a nice black metal quality to the sound.

Any other bands out there that sound like this period of Darkthrone?
 
Autopsy is the obvious point of reference, though other options like Fester's Winter of Sin and Ceremonium's No Longer Silent should appeal as well.
 
Ceremonium kicks a decent amount of ass.

edit: Also, Soulside Journey is one of the best dm albums ever made.
