Let's respond to some of these lists:
 


 
Woah, what? You put Beherit ahead of Burzum? What?
I don't get it.
Oh, and Lifelover. Dammit, I keep forgetting to check out that friggin' band. I keep meaning to but it always slips my mind. What album do you suggest by Lifelover?
Summoning, I dunno. This is a goofy reason to not love them, but I find all of their releases aside from Lugburz to feel too long. I have heard their first 2 albums, and I liked it, but listening to it all at once is draining.
 
I was gonna respond to Merc's list, but I haven't heard a single band on it. DURR.
 


 
Aww, you're hurting Rammstein, putting them behind such a generic and bland Death Metal band. I find Rammstein changes and evolves dramatically over each release (except LIFAD which seemed to be a rehash of previous styles and Ideas). What do you recommend by Immortal? I own At The Heart of Winter and I've listened to Battles in the North and a few songs from Blizzard Beasts so far.
Belphegor I only heard one song from; thought it was too chuggy.
 


 
lolololololololololol.

Beherit is incredible. They're like some sort of shitfuck combination of black, thrash, and ambient, Drawing Down the Moon and Engram are two of my top 25 favorite releases of all time. Burzum's great too but I only REALLY like a few select songs from them here and there, and he has a lot of albums that just weren't particularly great (Belus, the S/T).

And as for Lifelover, depends on what you want from them. I warn you, they're a strange and alienating band, combining Black Metal and depressive rock without really sounding like either of the two. If you want their most metal album go for their newest one, though saying it sounds anything like Black Metal is a bit of a Stretch, it always is with this band- but if you want their most accessible and rockish release, go for Konkurs. It's my personal favorite too, so that's The One I'd recommend.
