Not a fan of early Enslaved or Immortal?
Immortal's actually next on my list of stuff to listen to. Pretty excited for that. Enslaved is a band I haven't gotten to yet.

Try this one if you like a twist of Star Wars to your black metal (you'll see what I mean at 1:37).
That actually sounds pretty fantastic. However, you may as well be fully committed to the Star Wars theme here, right? I have just the thing.
EDIT: Phylactery, if that track was any indication of the album's quality, I'll make sure to listen to the whole thing as soon as possible.
Lol, that's a great concept for a band name/cover art. Probably a little too much on the melodic side for me, but good stuff nevertheless.

You just said you liked Gorgoroth. You should also listen to their 3rd album if you haven't because it's up there with the first 2. As for them being one of black metal's most celebrated bands I don't think tat's entirely true. Plenty of people seem to right them off as a joke band because of their overly satanic themes without releasing their early works are among Norway's elite.
I actually recommended this band to someone a bit more initiated and he said that he didn't know how to take a BM band seriously that was named after a Star Wars planet. Keep in mind that this is the exact same genre in which one of its most celebrated bands is named Gorgoroth.
The vocalist is actually pretty good as well.

Their later releases don't look all that good, either.
Anyone here like Ulver, as well? I've been a huge fan of theirs for a while. It was one of the few black metal bands that I liked for many years until just a couple years ago.
Yeah - I don't listen to them quite as much as I used to, but I'd still say they're one of my favourite bands. Ironically the black metal albums were the last of theirs I learned to like. Perdition City is jaw dropping - that album paved the way for me to explore electronic music, and exposed me to hundreds of artists I'd have never discovered without it. That whole jazz/noir atmosphere set to dance beats is completely unique, though.
I wonder what you'd think of Burzum, Nyktalgia, and Thy Light. Some of my favorite black metal.Honestly, when it comes to having such minimalist values to your music, you still need to be smart about how your compositions are made and I think Darkthrone do an excellent job of this. They know how to properly convey atmosphere AND make kickass metal simultaneously in those seminal releases. Hell, they even did that until Total Death.
I dig Bergtatt and the folk one (can't remember its name) quite a bit. Not so big on Nattens Madrigal (played it too many times when I was just getting into black metal ten years ago) or the experimental stuff, but I'm sure the experimental stuff will click at some point.Anyone here like Ulver, as well?

It's not even one of my favourite tracks from the album, though obviously I still love it. My faves are "Unsilent Storms in the North Abyss", "The Sun No Longer Rises" and "As the Eternity Opens".
