Avagantamos 03.11.14	emperor - in the nightside eclipse/anthems to the welkin at dusk (essential) windir Enslaved deathspell omega (not quite like other BM, but still pretty awesome) drudkh - blood in our wells walknut - graveforests and their shadows
forkliftjones 03.11.14	walknut - graveforests and their shadows [3] ulvegr - arctogaia bathory - under the sign of the black mark nokturnal mortum - the voice of steel
Avagantamos 03.11.14	Windir is pretty traditional BM with some folk metal Enslaved, as far as more recent releases go, are as much progressive metal as BM Drudkh and Walknut I'd say are atmospheric BM
Atari 03.11.14	nobody has rec'd burzum? damn. but yeah walknut [4]
Avagantamos 03.11.14	can't stand Varg's vocals
forkliftjones 03.11.14	they take time to get used to, if you even do
Judio! 03.11.14	Awesome, 1, 2, 4, and 5 are four of my favorite albums of all time. As far as recs go, I really don't know shit about the genre either. Check Burzum and Mayhem, and Drudkh, that's the best I can do.
Atari 03.11.14	"can't stand Varg's vocals" wow. to each their own i guess.
Judio! 03.11.14	Varg rules hard. I would argue that the song "Det Som En Gang Var" has one of the best vocal performances of all time, if not the best in all of black metal.
DikkoZinner 03.11.14	Immortal
adace1 03.11.14	Paysage d'Hiver
titanslayer 03.11.14	Immortal and enslaved are essential

LUM 03.12.14	first one to rec sunbather is a fat virgin
InbredJed 03.12.14	I'm just getting into BM and I found Darkthrone an easy place to start. They have a bit of a death metal or thrash influenced sound which made a bit more sense to me right off the bat.
VinVal 03.12.14	I also started with darkthrone but i didnt really appreciate the genre until i heard burzum's filosofem. I do however think transilvanian hunger is a good place to start with bm noobs then id go to hvis lysset tar oss or filosofem. Drudkh's autumn aurora is a pretty accesible bm album too.
