Cradle Of filth ( back in the day) still like em just not really black anymore , dusk and her embrace was my first black metal album.
Immortal , my favorite blackmetal band.
Mayhems newest dissapointed me.
Marduk's world funeral was awesome but Plague Angel was rather ehhh.
Bathory always was amazing.
Dimmu' sstormbalst is one of my favorites.
Naglfar's Sheol is kick ass.
Theres so much wierd underground black metal though that its hard to keep up with.

I think Limbonic Art plays the best symphonic BM. And Early Emperor is a good start
for listening to BM. But Dimmu and Cradle got me listening to this genre a few years
back then Dark Funeral and Gorgoroth esp their killer Destroyer cd! One of these days
i'll have to pick up Enthoned's new cd I've been hearing a lot of good things about
that album!

I love just about all black metal, old and new. Bathory's Under the Sign.....was my first exposure to the classic bm sound. To the term itself them definitely Venom, which ironically I'm listening to now. 
People now days seem to forget that bands such as Dimmu, CoF, Covenant (with a "C" not their later incarnation with a K), ect, put out some high quality bm of much more raw style then their current polished material. Even so I still like Dimmu's orchestrated stuff.
There's just so much good stuff to choose from: Judas Iscariot, Enthroned, Marduk, Setherial, Naglfar (their new one "Pariah" is damn good), Emperor, Grand Belial's Key, Gorgoroth, Darkthrone, ect.

OLd school black metal kicks ass! Bathory,Venom, Hellhammer, Celtic Frost,Death Strike(some might call it black/thrash, death/thrash,some might say it's more akin to early death metal, but just listen to it, the Hellhammer influence is DEFINITELY there.I say it's black metal) , Sodom's debut EP, etc. Great stuff.
I went into the Black Metal scene very quick as it appeared, as it was a fresh sounding new metal style...but after a few years alot of real shit-sounding bands appeared and I dropped the genre almost completely. But hey, give me some good old Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, Possessed..every day ! Were are those days I was writing letters with Quorthon. A friend needed to translate his rune-writings...wished I kept those letters, but hey, who ever knew Bathory would reach this cult status...

Yes indeed, Borknagar has been one of my favorites for quite some time, but Epic I couldnt get into a whole lot. Empiricism and Quintessence are the two to get , its hard as hell to find anything before that.

Rip Quorthon. Hail! Even though it was not a BM the song "One Who Rode To Asa
Bay" has a special place in my heart to me. It's about my heritage. (I hope I have the
song title right or the "kulties" will thrash me woooh
!)

Hmm, I've seen The Olden Domain on eBay for decent prices and the End has S/T vinyl reprints, at least they did when I bought one.
Anyway, old school BM kicks ass; I'm quite the Hellhammer/old Celtic Frost fan. Sauron is also excellent, they fit in there somewhere even though they're a newer band.
