Old black/death albums that are must haves?

[Nehebkau]

I have just started getting into some old black/death albums that are must haves (I was recommended Dissection's - Storm Of The Light's Bane, and Morbid Angels - Altars Of Madness, not exactly too sure if these are classics, im guessing MA's one is dunno about dissection). I have enjoyed these both alot, and would like to know what other old school black/death metal albums that I should have in my collection?

Where Dead Angels Lie

Thanks.

Not to sure about Black Metal, but here are some Death Metal classic must-haves:

Morbid Angel - Blessed Are the Sick
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Entombed - Clandestine
Death - Spiritual Healing
Death - Human
Pestilence - Testimony of the Ancients
Deicide - Deicide
Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten
Obituary - Cause of Death
Carcass - Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious

Edit: I just realised you want "Black Death" albums as in the genre and most of my obvious death metal recommendations are probably useless to you. I'll shut up now.

Celtic Frost- Morbid Tales, I say that one because after hearing newer Death Metal, hearing Morbid Tales let you know where alot of it came from, for a CD release in 1984/85 its fucking brutal.

lawlz you're teh stupidz etc.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned any Gorgoroth yet.

Gorgoroth's first three albums are absolutely essential Norwegian black metal. They compress into half-hour segments what most newer BM bands can't fit on an 80-minute disc.

 

[AchrisK]

Some older, old school death metal that is not overly fast or fancy, but is crushing and has killer songs.

Obituary - Cause of Death
Brutality - When the Sky Turns Black
Brutality - Screams of Anguish

You'll probably be changing your name within a month also.

Though, honestly, I think you should stick to your guns, keep it and tell us how awesome As I Lay Dying is.
