Recommend me some epic black metal

[MFJ]

I'm very familiar with Black Metal/Viking/Folk metal, but not a ton of the lesser known names. I'm looking for long songs with depth, emotion, and ambience. For black metal that fits into the "epic" catagory (even just a little bit) I regularly listen to the following-

Windir
Finntroll
Bathory
Summoning
Noctuary
Borknagar
Emperor
Azrael
Dissection
Vintersorg
... and etc-

I'm thinking something along the lines of Summoning, Finntroll, Windir, or Moonsorrow.

so if anyone has some recommendations- I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Moonsorrow

Perhaps more viking than black, but certainly epic.

 

[MFJ]

ah good of you to remind me of them- Finntroll is one of my favorite bands and I respect Trollhorn very much. I've heard some Moonsorrow and I dig it.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Meh, It ain't going to sound new, but you've given Graveland and Moonblood a spin, right? Also, Nachtfalke.

 

[MFJ]

whoa looks like Moonblood's stuff is hard to get ahold of.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Graveland
Azrael
Summoning
Moonblood
Fullmoon

Hahahaha. Something tells me this guy hasnt spent much time here.


Anyway, yeah you cant go past all of Summoning's releases, as well as Drudkh and Nokturnal Mortum. Graveland too, if they're realy in the same category.

Drudkh

Youll have a winner here - Autumn Aurora is great.

 

[Matheusbassist01]

I've been really into Cradle of Filth and Children of Bodom lately, but I highly doubt that's what you're looking for. Give it a shot maybe though.
