[Master_Yoda77]

1) Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
2) Burzum - Det Som Engang Var
3) Burzum - Burzum
4) Burzum - Filosofem

 

[Lateralus14]

You like the s/t better than Filosofem eh?

I'll edit this later or something with a list.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Blut aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers Of The Icy Age
Blut aus Nord - Ultima Thulée
Blut aus Nord The Work Which Transforms God
Burzum - Filosofem
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Burzum - Burzum / Aske
...and Oceans - The Dynamic Gallery of Thoughts
...and Oceans - The Symmetry Of I - The Circle Of O
Deathspell Omega - Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice
Deathspell Omega - FAS - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum

I guess. IDK, this pretty much changes kinda regularly.

btw Shade Empire's Sinthetic is great but not black metal; it's like melo-death, practically. ...and Oceans are also debatably "black metal" proper, but those two albums are close e-fuckin'-nough and they rule.

3.) Sorcier des Glaces - Snowland
4.) Petrychor - Dryad
5.) Weakling - Dead As Dreams
6.) Mercyful Fate - Don't Break The Oath
7.) Bethlehem - Dictus Te Necare
8.) Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse
9.) Dornenreich - Bitter Ist's Dem Tod Zu Dienen
10.) Ulver - Bergtatt
