And I ****ing love Blut Aus Nord. The Work Which Transforms God is one of the greatest things I think I've ever heard.
If you're getting into post-black metal you really need to check out the band Solefald. Their music can be pretty esoteric and polarizing, but if you're into Blut Aus Nord then I'm 95% sure you'll like them. I'd recommend starting off with their 2003 magnum opus In Harmonia Universali. It's like black metal meets free jazz sung in English, French, Norwegian, and German, with a heavy mix of organ and piano interludes. It's also one of the darkest albums I have, which seeing as how you like Blut Aus Nord, you'll appreciate.

Let me know if you need help procuring a copy.
