For me it's De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem

---

Parce que j'aime autant vous dire que pour moi Monsieur Éric avec ses costards tissés en Écosse à Roubaix, ses boutons de manchettes en simili et ses pompes à l'italienne fabriquées à Grenoble, et ben c'est rien qu'un demi-sel. Et là, je parle juste question présentation. Parce que si je voulais me lancer dans la psychanalyse, j'ajouterais que c'est le roi des cons, et encore, les rois, ils arrivent à l'heure.

Here are some of my faves:
 Has a very nice raw Black Metal feeling tied in with a lot of haunting and atmospheric folk sections. The riffings remind me of Burzum and very early Mayhem (like Deathcrush).
The album holds up very well through and through, the sound is consistent yet at the same time each song is quite unique from the others. Good use on synths all around.
A splendidly dark Ominous atmosphere that is heavy at sometimes, and Majestic at others. Perfection in terms of both atmospheric Black Metal and Black Metal you can headbang to. Also has a great fully-ambient track (Tomhet) that serves as the perfect relaxing song to wrap it all up nicely.

Perfect, absolutely perfect folk/black metal blend. Although there are only five songs, each one is a great standout. Garm's vocals are perfectly mastered; he has a Brutal growl that has strength and Power behind it, and he can switch on command to clean, barritone vocals. A hell of a lot of talent is utilized here, especially considering this is only their debut. Probably the most atmospheric album I've ever heard, except maybe for 'Within the Realm of a Dying Sun' by Dead Can Dance.

oh he ought to be an admiral, a sultan, or a King
And to his praises we shall always sing
Look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
Lord bless Cha

Black ?

And for me... i don't know... actually, the true Black Metal is the ideologie of Mortuus. With Funeral Mist and Marduk (but specially Funeral Mist), he make a Primitiv black, as euronymous liked...

But it's more religious... i like. So he's convinced, i think it's important, i don't like the band who use satanist artwork without believing.

I'd have to say 'Wrath of the Tyrant' by Emperor because of it's sheer rawness/coldness
