The first five Marduk albums are all really worth checking out, not much like the absolute chore they put out in Panzer Division Marduk.

FaFtS is possibly my favorite BM album so it was definitely taking the top spot.

FaFtS is one of my most listened to metal albums and a top 3 of any genre for me. I never tire of it.

What are your favourite tracks on it?
 
Far Away From The Sun is a top tier black metal record, don't know if I'd go that far, but it's indubitably an all time great in metal. By the way, HoF is open again, wanna vote? http://ultimatemetal.com/forum/threads/ultimate-metal-hall-of-fame-april-2017-inductions.1132990/

Being a top tier black metal album puts it in the upper echelons of metal by default :p.

I might vote but I feel the HoF has run its course. I mean how many bands are you aiming to have in there? Kinda loses its meaning when it's a list of 200 + bands.
