Most black metal has substance.. to an extent. Most black metal's aim is create some type of atmosphere and while I can say that I used to think that was a rather lame and stupid concept I see it much more now that I have gotten into black metal a lot more than I was at one time. Anyway, I suggest starting out with Dissection's Storm of the Light's Bane. Its a true classic, but it's not purely black metal. It's also really death metal influenced and may be the band that can break the band and slowly allow you to get into other black metal bands. Good luck.
