I still haven't gotten around to picking up a Burzum album because they're so damn expensive. Which one is most essential because I keep hearing mixed things about them?

Burzum/Aske commpilation probably. Though Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is the best.imo.

Start with Burzum/Aske.

Start with Filosofem and work your way backwards in time.

I would recommend Atheist to anyone who is a self-respecting metal fan. Fuckin' awesome shit, they made.

Einherjer. Not very similar to AA, but still viking metal.

 

[Mort Divine]

Einherjer is the epitome of average VM, check out Manegarm and Equilibrium.

Raison d'Etre. It's ambient.

but does it have still some traces of funeral doom in the sound?

 

[Hammer of Might]

I think this tends to be bad advice whatever the band in question. I'd always go chronologically if circumstances allowed.
