Dust and Bones
I'm really enjoying Weapon's Drakonian Paradigm. Very heavy, just like I like my black metal.
I hate using this word, but I think Ne Obliviscaris might be the perfect black metal band.
They remind me of Empyreal Destroyer. You'd probably also like Dawn of Dreams.
I have both Night Conquers Day albums because I'm a fucking cool guy. Rebellion is the Art of Survival is clearly the better of the two. Little known fact: John Gallo briefly played keyboards with the band between the two albums during live shows (there's a video on youtube). Mikael's main post-NCD project, Tearstained, is more straightforward old school black metal with more Bathory and less symphony but especially the first album, Monumental in its Sorrow, should appeal to most fans of NCD.
*Mountainside, and that track sounds like King Diamond, not Mercyful Fate.

The third album, Final Thoughts, is his best, but the first one is the most like Night Conquers Day. The fourth album is an inconsistent and sterile attempt at primitive, Necrovorean death metal, and the newest one is a bit all over the place, including more King Diamond influence.
