Dodheimsgard(albeit only 666 International that much), Leviathan, Gojira (Gojira is ****ing incredible), and Behemoth are also favorites of myself.

Albeit, you can tell I really only indulge in later more experimental black metal ala Blut Aus Nord, or where it crosses over to deathmetal, rather than the 'pure' stuff, but still good stuff.
That's pretty much where I'm at with black metal. I see black metal as sort of a starting point from which to build. I've been on an avant-garde/experimental/post-black metal kick for the past month or so, and I don't see myself getting bored yet.

And I ****ing love Blut Aus Nord. The Work Which Transforms God is one of the greatest things I think I've ever heard.
