The only Borknagar album that was fully and justifiably Black Metal was the first one.
Dimmu Borgir stopped playing Black Metal after Stormblast.
Satyricon's newer material is not Black Metal.
Later Emperor is not Black Metal.
why? they totally fit the dark mournful atmosphere

edit: however, the song Black Spell of Destruction is fucking awesome.
For the record, I don't see how Agalloch's The Mantle could be considered black metal by anyone's standards. It's pretty much modern prog rock with harsh vocals. But for all I know no-one considers it black metal in the first place, I just noticed that being one of the genres listed on Wikipedia (heh).
SIMS said:A lot of what they were clearly trying to do with Tetragrammatical Astygmata is more fully realized here, and it really puts to shame the pathetic efforts of wannabe acts like Deathspell Omega and Blut aus Nord, despite plying superficially similar terrain.
I'm not seeing a video. AFAIK, the only video recording of Malefic is a performance of a Twilight song, with Nachtmystium as the backing band. The song is "Without Light (Beautiful and Malignant)". It's a song that Blake says he wrote when he was 15 or 16.
Edit: Nevermind, I found the clip. I'm pretty sure that's the title track off Subliminal Genocide. I might not have the right song, but I'm sure it's off that album.
