Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane

Absu - TaraDarkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern SkyEmperor - In the Nightside Eclipse; Anthems to the Welkin at DuskMayhem - De Mysteriis Dom SathanasPestilence - Consuming ImpulseSuffocation - Pierced from WithinThorns - Thorns
I'm stumped on Enslaved. I could see Frost, Eld, Mardraum, Beneath the Lights, and the Hordanes Land split all going into any list of essentials, because they all present various facets of the band. I'll give it more thought.
― Devilock, Sunday, 27 September 2015 01:42 (eight years ago) link
agree with all of yrs Devilock except Thorns and that's only cos I ain't heard it.

Satyricon gets dumped on for reasons beyond my comprehension. Every time I listen to Nemesis Divina I'm like god damn this is a perfect album. The earlier two are definitely works in progress, though.
So uh
Satyricon - Nemesis Divina
I could probably nominate everything that came out of Norway in the first half of the 90s, honestly.
Let's see. I admit to not really getting into the German thrash thing; I'll leave that to others.

And here I was thinking Death Anfel were some super-obscure death/doom band from Belgium or something...
You gotta hear the Thorns record if you like black metal; it's outstanding and does a great job of integrating industrial elements without it becoming a lame distortion fest. Guitar sound oddly reminds me of Massacre's From Beyond.

xp oh and the Thorns stuff from the Thorns Vs. Emperor EP is amazing if you don't mind demented use of synths, programming and ProTools - they really make Emperor look bad and unimaginative on that EP.
Oh and let's add
Ulver - Bergtatt and Nattens MadrigalCarcass - Symphonies of SicknessBrutal Truth - Extreme Conditions and Need to ControlNapalm Death - Scum and From Enslavement to Obliteration
What do you guys think about other Napalm stuff? I feel like Harmony Corruption, for all of it's bloated song lengths and terrible, terrible production was pretty influential in the long run (I think it was the first ND album distributed domestically in the US).
XP oh shit Root!!! Such a great band.

I am way more familiar with the first one (which I love and will vote for whenever this poll happens), but listening to the excellent second one today, and love it. So thick, almost doomy, and a rare example of understated (yet outstanding) drumming in a death metal record. Great riffs, great mood, great production.
