Close, but Inquisition are the kings to me right now, and I'd have to consider Faustcoven too.

Yeah i'd agree about Katharsis,they have an air of urgency about them.Urgent in their approach to BM,not keen to fuck around nor let their songs linger unnecessarily.I can't think of too many modern BM bands that have the same ethos.There are alot of bands that would do well to take a leaf outt've Katharis's book.
You should definitely listen to Kruzifixxion and 666. Those two are better than VVorldVVithoutEnd.

Ahh, yeah Inquisition is good, and Faustcoven are good too
I love that album, Ascent from Ghoulgotha is probably my favorite song of theirs, but I can see why you'd not like it.
Definitely think you'd like 666 and Kruzifixxion more
I understand the concept, I just think it's a ham-handed attempt at trying to achieve a concept album. Also Don Airey is a great keyboardist, not gonna deny that, but it's a shame he's playing such pedestrian music on Nostradamus.
Katharsis are great, not slamming them or anything, but tbh I think Deathspell Omega and Burzum are putting out better music now.
I don't normally like such music but I think Bodom is absolutely dandy. The saturation of keyboards is what makes it so great.

I like Fourth Reich slightly better than VVorld VVithout End.
Inquisition are great, but un-like Katharsis the vocals get old after a while.
As far as DsO goes they're great but Katharsis has this dirtier old atmosphere about them that DsO lacks.
Burzum don't do much for me.

I can never have too much of a problem with Bodom, Hatebreeder was the first real "death" metal (or anything that was heavy as fuck with growls/screaming) that I was exposed to, I think I got it for my 13th birthday, I listened to it SO much it was insane, and I was always a huge fan ever since. Although there sound has changed a lot, and the older albums are better, they're still pretty badass, give good shows and are always an indelible influence on me...I actually have the alexi signature guitar 
sits in the closet a lot though

Deathspell Omega is putting out shit music and has since SMRC.
Burzum I think can have a case made, but I like most of what Katharsis has done more than Belus and Fallen only slightly more than what they've been doing.

I've decided that I have no business trying to "objectively" evaluate DsO. There's too much hype around that band; I always feel more comfortable in my judgments when hype over a band has died down. This is one reason why I never do year-end top 10 lists. Maybe at some point when there is less talk about DsO I'll be able to approach them without prejudice.
My reaction to SMRC has always been 'meh.' But lots of people tell me that this album is genius. I'm not comfortable saying who I think is correct on this one. As far as their later stuff goes, a lot of people tend to act like it's the epitome of intelligent extreme metal. There's a distinction to be made between intelligence and self-aware intellectualism. I honestly don't know whether DsO really possesses the former quality in addition to the latter. They're discordant and "weird" and whatnot, and they have Latin titles, but that doesn't automatically equate to intelligent, enlightened, or good. And I don't really have the patience to dig into their concept to see if it's worth anything to me. There's too much other stuff that I already know I like.

I only just got Paracletus, which is the first taste I've had of the band. It's certainly interesting, but most of it was discernible riffs and weird vocals, which I already have a lot of. Some of it was awesome though

Paracletus is fucking awesome, one of the best albums from last year ... the more i spun that album, the better it got.

DSO has received alot of hype I have to agree on that point but that's not a bad thing. What their music has become is really something I have to marvel at considering that they've kind of developed their own sound. Bands like DSO are what keep me listening to black metal.
