Favourite BM-related bands?

Wolves in the Throne Room

Emperor
Immortal
Leviathan (brilliant american BM)
Lurker of Chalice (equally brilliant american BM)
Wolves in the Thone Room (the best american BM)
Enslaved
Arcturus
Darkspace
1349
DØDHEIMSGARD <------------ <3
Mayhem
Ravencult
Thorns
Weakling ( more american BM )
Xasthur ( and some more )
 
My favourite bands that I, personally, would call black metal or black metal-like... not really in any kind of order after the first three.

Emperor
Borknagar
Immortal
Enslaved
Keep Of Kalessin
Mayhem
Darkthrone
Satyricon

I don't necessarily sway moreso to the progressive, epic, or raw elements in black metal- I just like it when it's done really well, be it something grand and epic like Emperor - In The Wordless Chamber or something raw, simple and pissed off like Darkthrone - En Vind Av Sorg.
 
Six from Norway:

Borknagar and Enslaved share the number one spot.
Then comes the rest:
Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Satyricon (Shadowthrone/Nemesis-era), Solefald

Four from Sweden:
Bathory, Mörk Gryning (very underrated), Naglfar, Dissection
 
Mörk Gryning again. You'll find some songs from their excellent debut here http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=98841996 (listen especialy to Journey, kick-ass track from a kick-ass album).

Listen to a newer track here:

This band has called it's quits recently but the founders has kicked of a new project called Cimmerian Dome. Check them out:

Great stuff!
 
This is great, is this the new October Falls?

Yes, it should be out on June by Debemur Morti if everything goes as planned. Everything is recorded, mixed and mastered, covers are done etc. so only thing left is to release it. That sample is actually just an edit, the real track is about 2 minutes longer.

And for the topic, here are few bands I personally enjoy:

Walknut (RUS)
Behexen (FIN)
Baptism (FIN)
Hate Forest (UKR)
Funeral Mist (SWE)
Grand Belial's Key (US)
