Storm of the Light's Bane from Dissection, it's a masterpiece on its own. (the debates are open if some disagree on Dissection being fully BM haha)

It depends on what type of style within the genre you wish to explore really.
I will sum up some albums very different from oneother.

Ulver - Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr i 5 Capitler
Deathspell Omega - Si monvmentvm requiris, circumspice
Negură Bunget - Om
Emperor - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk
Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky
Blasphemy - Fallen Angel of Doom
Teitanblood - Death
Katharsis - VVORLDVVITHOUTEND
Negative Plane - Et in Saecula Saeculorum
Paysage D'Hivre - Das Tor
Mysticium - In the Streams of Inferno
Mgła - Hearts Towards None
Svartidauði- Flesh Cathedral
Urfaust - Der Freiwillige Bettler
Weakling - Dead as Dreams
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, Deathcrush, and Live in Leipzig
This last one is is up fot debate due political matter but still essential really.

I started out with Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, Storm of the Lights Bane, In The Nightside Eclipse and Blood Fire Death. Transilvanian Hunger and Hvis Lyset Tar Oss took a little longer to grow on me. Stronghold by Summoning was another early favorite.
It should also be noted that anyone who got into black metal i during that mid/late 90s wave also enjoyed Dusk and Her Embrace at some point, whether they admit it or not.

Bathory. start at thee beginning S/T album ,and work your way through the whole discography.
Marcadevil18 on
a different twist on the scandi stuff but maybe bands like mystifier, black witchery, conqueror (which i guess would be considered more war metal), absu, early morbid angel demos like thy kingdom come, profanatica, sarcofago... I got a lot out of reading bardo methodology as well that introduced me to a lot of cool bands and labels that i hadnt heard of.
Edit: A scandi exception but be sure to check out beherit too!
Darklord on
I guess I'll start my descent with Dissection and Darkthrone they seem to make the top of most people's list. Thanks
