Modern Symphonic Black Metal with good production?

Arcturus
Borknagar
Vintersorg
Carach Angren

Those are some good bands to expand from Dimmu borgir

I also liked that Xanthochroid album from last year a lot and from a few years ago Transcending Bizarre? put out some really good stuff for the genre.
 
Make Them Suffer
And if you want something a little more melodic , listen to
Hope for the Dying
 
If I'm remembering correctly, later Obtained Enslavement albums are well-produced and the songwriting is excellent. Also, Mirrorthrone, Imperial Crystalline Entombment and ChthoniC.
 
Forest Stream is a band worth checking out but perhaps it would better labelled as black metal with symphonic elements?
