[Einherjar86]

Borknagar- Borknagar

Agreed. Might as well throw in the rest of their discography too.

 

[Jimm O)))]

Nokturnal Mortum - Lunar Poetry, Goat Horns
Blut Aus Nord - The Work That Transforms Gods
Dissection - Storm of Light's Bane
Ved Buens Ende - Written in Waters
The Axis of Perdition - The Ichneumon Method (their other albums are just is good but have a lot more focus on dark ambient/noise)

 

[Zephyrus]

Nokturnal Mortum - Lunar Poetry and To the Gates of Blasphemous Fire

 

[FenriR]

I'm going to add Marduk - Nightwing to those mentioned already.

 

[tagradh]

Blut Aus Nord - Odinist
Spite Extreme Wing - Non Dvcor, Dvco
Spite Extreme Wing - Magnificat
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
Enslaved - Eld
Dissection - The Somberlain
Nidingr - Sorrow Infinite and Darkness
Negura Bunget - Om
Endstille - Navigator
Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness (if it counts)

These are the albums I've listened to the most anyway.

 

[General Zaroff]

Kataxu - Hunger Of Elements
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal
Wolves In The Throne Room - Two Hunters

 

[S<issors]

Bergtatt rules harder than nattens

two hunters is also very good

 

[General Zaroff]

I don't have Bergtatt yet, I will get it soon enough.

 

[S<issors]

I imagine you will like it. Very different than NM, but very good. Ulver rules.

I don't think these very worthy albums have been mentioned, although some of these are only loosely BM:

Emperor: Emperor
Enslaved: Vikinglr Veldi
Enslaved: Hordanes Land
Solefald: In Harmonia Universali (well not really BM)
Limbonic Art: Moon in the Scorpio
Anaal Nathrakh: Domine Non Est Dignus
Vlad Tepes/Belketre split
Wolves in the Throne Room: Diadem of 12 stars
Windir: 1184; Arntor
Arcturus: Aspera Hiems Symfonia; Sham Mirrors; La Masquerade Infernale

[byrne]

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Bathory - Blood Fire Death
Aeternus - Beyond the Wandering Moon
Nachtfalke - Doomed to Die
Drudkh - Autumn Aurora

 

[Zephyrus]

Limbonic Art - In Abhorrence Dementia

 

[challenge_everything]

I still don't get why De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is so highly regarded

 

[Vilden]

Because it is fucking legendary and all songs on it are 10/10 megahits which pwns most pretty much all songs most bm-bands ever recorded?

 

[General Zaroff]

Pretty much.

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

I know I talk about it all the time but Nokturnal Mortum's NeChrist just blows me away every time and I'd easily rate it as one of the best black metal albums.
