So, ive been listening to Carach Angren Alot the last few weeks, and would like to get to know
more decent or great black metal bands. But anytime i ask someone, they give comepletelly
different answers :-/. I dont really like Cob, but thats the one most people suggest. Any suggestions?

I think the reason a lot of people give different answers is that black metal in itself is kind of a diverse genre. That being said. If you like Carach Angren (great band by the way) you'll most likely be more of a fan of the melodic side of the black metal spectrum (which seems to be a great place to start regardless of your other metal experiences being that some other black metal genres are quite raw and take time to "learn" how to listen to.)
You might be interested in bands like Dimmu Borgir (everything up and until death cult), Dissection, maybe you'll like Watain, Windir might also be a good start. All of these bands are black metal(ish) but still melodic and epic. Which is kinda how I would describe CA as well. Let me know what you think and we might be able to work from there.

Im listening to Watain at the moment. And i must say i like it very much, thx for the recomendations.

Also, checking your profile I saw you liked some folky metal as well. In that case maybe bands like Falkenbach, Manegarm or maybe even Nokturnal Mortum might be more your thing as well.

-Dissection - First 2 albums
-Blasphemy - Fallen Angel of Doom
-Beherit - DDtM
-Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
-Graveland - Thousand Swords
I could probably add or remove some, but this is what I've settled at. I could suggest hundreds more, but most aren't anywhere near as important as these in my opinion.
Runners up: First 2 Samael, first Grand Belial's Key, first 3 Enslaved, first 3 Ulver, early Sigh, Archgoat, Bestial Warlust, Hellhammer, first 2 Immortal, first Satyricon, first Gorgoroth, Gehenna - First Spell...

Ketzer, Iskra, Aura Noir and Witchaven are some bands i can think of off the top of my head that havent been said already, (leaning towards black/thrash cos your sacred reich pic). +1 to stuff like Bathory, Darkthrone and Hellhammer etc.
Theres loads of cool atmospheric BM that i like too, like Alda, Ashborer, Fell Voices, Panopticon,
