Probably my favorite band from Finland, raw black metal with a crust influence, the amazing composition is definitely their strong point, although the songs tend to be short they convey an excellent mood and atmosphere and add to that the great knifelike vocals and you really can't go wrong! My highest recommendations!!!
First demo by this excellent czech band, a bit different from the newer releases, this one is more in the vein of good 'ol Master's Hammer, original composition and very good production for a demo!!
Detonator 666 is a rather new band from the Czech underground black metal scene. It contains three well-known musicians from bands like Maniac Butcher, Nhaavah, Agmen and Dark Storm. In their first year of existence they already recorded a full-length album and a split live tape with the Dutch pagan black metal band Cultus.
Detonator 666 feature Maniac Butcher and Dark Storm guitarist Vlad Blasphemer. Eclipse Productions issued the debut album ‘At The Dawn Of Sadistic Infernal Holocaust’ in April 2004.

Hyper fast german black metal, released two excellent albums, the first album features some excellent use of keyboards in the vein of "The Black", the second is more straightforward fast black metal with great composition and production! Highly recommended for fans of fast black metal [Although the first album is a must for everyone, fucking excellent release]
They also have a third album that is unfortunately still unreleased.
At first I wanted to add the only double cd remastered release of Dextronaut [the second cd features over 70min of absolutely amazing ambience], but then I saw that Genevieve wasn't posted, so here you go; both albums by this incredible atmospheric black metal band!

Fucking excellent black/death metal from the states, I love the label description that says it all: "Too brutal to be called "Black Metal", too Satanic to be called "Death Metal"". A must for fans of Archgoat, Revenge and old Beherit!!
Second album by this excellent norwegian band, fans of Khold definitely know about them, nice riff-driven black metal with great vocals and atmosphere. Although a bit short it's a great listen!
Probably my favorite metal bend ever, even from the early black metal albums to today's unique sound Primordial has always had powerful music & lyrics that no other band can match. Obligatory!!!
"Putrid Black assault: razorblade riffs to slash your wrists open, topped with the screams of a mental assylum patient. Raw and dirty sound doesn't interfere with good production. Truely morbid & devious, chainsaw guitars churns out thrashy hate – filled riffs without mercy. Not for weak trendie ears!!! "
Japanese edition of this great album, features an additional cd with rare stuff.
Cult release, featuring a star line-up in their best years. Mandatory!
Cult material from this excellent band, features a lot of old material that although lacks good production has that fucking dark feeling Demoncy is so well known for....
One of my favorite French black metal bands, Crystalium is pure quaility, excellent musicanship and composition with amazing use of keyboards and great production, add to that excellent vocal arrangement and brutal drumming they make an incredibly powerful sound!!!
Re-mastered/mixed version of this excellent album; the sounds is more powerful and has more presence, believe me, it sounds more like a re-recorded version....
