[Herbstleyd]

Most of them have been mentioned so far...except:

Nargaroth - Black Metal ist Krieg

I can't believe Nargaroth hasn't been mentioned. This album may be quite new (2001 I think), but it's easily one of the best black metal albums of all time.

 

[Sonicarnal Artist]

Trelldom- 'Til Et Annet'
Ulver- 'Nattens Madrigal'
Gorgoroth- 'Antichrist'
Nargaroth- 'Black Metal Ist Krieg'
Darkthrone- 'Under a Funeral Moon'
Burzum- 'Burzum'
Immortal- 'Pure Holocaust'
Aborym- 'With No Human Intervention' (sort of)
Krieg- 'Destruction Ritual'
Destroyer 666- 'Cold Steel for an Iron Age'
Besatt- 'Hail Lucifer'
Belenos- 'Notre Amour Eternal'
Emperor- 'In the Nightside Eclipse'
Graveland- 'In the Glare of Burning Churches'

 

[penguinofwrath]

I second quite a bit of what has come before, and to it I add:

Absurd: Asgardsrei
Thornspawn: Blood of Holy
Absu: Third Storm of Cyrthraul (as much as I like Tara, I have to go with this one)
Ulver: Nattens Madrigal (I don't think this one's been mentioned yet, for some odd reason)
In the Woods: A Return to the Isle of Men
Forgotten Woods: As the Wolves Gather
and lastly, Axis of Perdition: The Icheumon Method

 

[Henrik Main]

Nargaroth - Black Metal ist Krieg

I can't believe Nargaroth hasn't been mentioned. This album may be quite new (2001 I think), but it's easily one of the best black metal albums of all time.

I can't understand what people see in Nargaroth's music.. Way too boring for me :\ Perhaps I'm not tr00 enough.

[Hell Mike]

All great albums, but none top their main influence: De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Sorath: Why do you think De Mysteriis... is so influential?!

 

[Hell Mike]

GoD: Because it is, especially on Ondskapt, DSO and Watain

 

[Caelum Adustum]

I'm not going to deny Mayhem being an influence on Watain, Ondskapt or DsO but I feel the albums I mentioned are much greater works of art than DMDS.
