Another one of my favorite bands, that I'm surprised no one has posted yet: Akercocke

Thanks, reps right back at ya. Khanate's a pretty great band as well. Are you a fan of Axis of Perdition? Really loved Deleted Scenes... Great stuff and freaky as hell

Haven't heard their latest though.

Yeah man Deleted Scenes is awesome! It's the only one I've heard though. Burning Witch is awesome pre-Khanate stuff. If you havn't heard it check it out

Haven't heard any Burning Witch though I keep meaning to but still need to track it down. Have you heard Khanate's 2009 release yet? I haven't but its definitely on my list of 09 releases to get. As for Axis, I've heard The Ichneumon Method but I don't like it as much as Deleted Scenes. Deleted Scenes is just so brilliantly creepy its tough to beat.

oh man I forgot about that, I'll be getting that asap for sure.

Here's a few videos to keep this thing rolling, Kawir - Eumenides. Any black metal fans here should check this out. Hellenic Pagan Metal!

Capricornus - Alone Against all, some good NS Black Metal

Just the other day I discovered a Polish (NS?)BM band called Thunderbolt. Nowhere near the awesomeness that is Graveland, but certainly competent enough.

I've also been listening to band called Baroness a lot lately. They remind me a bit of Mastodon or even Neurosis. Not exactly the kind of stuff I'm into the most, but an interesting chance of pace.

Shame about this, their later material though. Best was the mid-era stuff when they had Kronheim on guitar.

Now for some good stuff

Cythraul, haha I may not be the hugest Mercyful Fate fan but Don't Break the Oath is a great album and Gypsy is my absolute favourite song off it and probably one of my all-time favourite songs. I really love the Emperor cover, though. The "oh no no no! oh my brain!" sounds even better when Ihsahn does it!

Primordial is also good stuff, I get to see them at the end of April with Moonsorrow and 'klaani

A few more favourites:

Hades (Nor) - Pagan Triumph

For fans of deathrash, a criminally underrated band:

Morbid Scream - Cries of Sanity (not the best sound quality unfortunately)

Sorcier des glaces - Onward into the Crystal Snow
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIrPe3mgEmQ[/YOUTUBE]

Stillhet - Gjemt i skyggene
