Other than that I could list some black metal bands that you have probably heard anyway, or don't care about, but Ulver in particular definitely deserve a mention. While their first three albums are black metal with folk influences, their more electronic and progressive stuff from Perdition City onward is incredible and are a band I'd definitely recommend to everyone.

Biosphere I'm sure I've heard
of, but I've never listened an album. I happen to like a lot of ambient music, so I'll definitely check that out
Of Ulver, I've heard some of their early folky stuff which was nice, if a little rusty in production (if I remember correctly). I'll pick up on your advice and check out some of their less early stuff as well!
Regarding other Norwegian black metal bands, I have heard something from most of them by far, but it's been a song here and there. It's seldom I've really sat down with a whole album (Ulver is one of few exceptions), but I'm definitely willing to go there if someone could point me in a direction.

I'll look for more...

I did give their debut (which is supposed to be fantastic) a quick listen, but didn't really put much effort into it and as such can't remember much about them. I'll give'em another chance and check out their latest.
Thanks for the recommendations, guys
