they're not quite 'black metal' but i like Dimmu Borgir and still find myself listening to some of their more symphonic songs every once in a while.
more true to their black metal roots, i really enjoy Wolves in the Throne Room (Diadem EP/Two Hunters)
other black/death type metal i dig:
Early Ulver
Early Opeth
some Emperor
Mayhem - i have De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and ive heard a few songs from their other albums.
Immortal
earlly Arcturus- Aspera hymes something. pretty alright good. not great, but good.

What im listening to

Even if only his 80's albums are black metal, my favorite band of the genre is undoublty Bathory. Quorthon invented hardly alone two genres : black and viking metal ! (He said he discovered Venom after reading a review of his first album, composed when he was a teenager...) A genius !

Under the Sign of the Black Mark is a gem of a donation to the world of the night.

I also tried Hellhammer/Celtic Frost but couldn't get into them enough...

For more modern black, my fav is Emperor. "In The Nightside Eclipse" and Anthems "To The Welkin At Dusk" define black metal with majestic symphonic touch.

After comes Darkthrone, Immortal ...

Concerning Death Metal, my only loved band is Death. I also tried Morbid Angel, Cynic and Pestilence, but they didn't work for me ...

Even if it's not straight death metal (rather doom/death/atmospheric), I enjoy pretty well Tiamat

Bathory and Death were unique. RIP Quorthon and Chuck...

I was in a major extreme metal phase a few years ago (which is why I can hardly tolerate the electric guitar anymore) and these are the only bands from the black or death regions whose albums I've kept close:

Burzum
Leviathan (the one-man black metal project flavour of this band name)
!T.O.O.H.!
Cephalic Carnage
Discordance Axis

I couldn't help but notice that a lot of metal bands greatly overlap with one another, so for that reason most of my favourites are notably odd or pioneering in some way. Discordance Axis in particular impressed me as hardly any other grind could.

Yes, I've heard Demilich and Negura Bunget and whatever else cult BM/DM bands but I've lost interest for good, now. :(

Oh My God I've started a thread about death and black metal. May the Devil take me away...

If you like any manifestation of these genres or related ones, OK. If you hate these genres, please abstain.

What are your favorite death/black/extreme metal bands?
