I need some black metal.

for some reasons Darkthrone is the only black metal band I find laughable.

Give me some Summoning, Woods of Ypres, Morrigan, 1349, Numen, Wolves in the Throne Room
 
You know, if it wasn't Krigloch the Furry Ass asking, I would have laughed at all the recommendations made thus far. :tickled:

Yeah, I'll second the Summoning and Bal Sagoth (old or new) votes. That said, they're not black metal. [/erik]
 
Quick -- somebody upload "The Splendour Of A Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath The Blazon Of The Hyperborean Empire (Part3)" or "And Lo, When The Imperium Marches Against Gul-Kothoth, Then Dark Sorceries Shall Enshroud The Citadel Of The Obsidian Crown".
 
How about some Negura Bunget? They're obviously an extremly talented band making superiour music, but they also have a clearly epic touch (albeit not in the in your-face-violins-choirs-and-organs kind of way) which you seem to like in your music. That album is also one of the best ~black metal albums ever. http://download.yousendit.com/BE6072F7201D80E0

Other than that Nokturnal Mortum would be a natural choice. Maybe you're already familiar with them, but here's Perun's Celestial Silver anyway: http://download.yousendit.com/5AD4E3242A6499D1
