Always fun recommending black metal.  Based on your list...let's see...
Alda, Drapsnatt, Fell Voices, Gris, Kathaarsys, Pantheon I, Raventale, Saille, Skogen, Spectral Lore, Todtgelichter...
And I'm sure you've heard all the Burzum/Darkthrone/Satyricon/Gorgorth type stuff already. |

Thanks, I generally go for that sort of prog/avantgarde black metal, the kind that doesn't stay entirely within the confines of the genre and plays around in territory a bit more familiar to me. But there are some cases where I do enjoy straight up black metal, be it of symphonic, atmospheric etc. |

I'm the same when it comes to black. I like the black metal+ sort of band, and all three of those have that little extra kick to their music that take them to the upper echelon. |

You know few black metal bands have stuck with me as well as they have and I find it strange that they haven't received a lot of attention. My black metal listenings are fairly erratic to say the least, so I'm not sure why they appeal to me more than others. Probably something about the proggy/folk mix I think. Plus they write damn good songs of course.  |

| Old Gehenna ,old Dimmu Borgir are just brilliant.... |

Psychedelic black metal is prob my favorite of all the weird stylistic divisions of the sound that've emerged in the past decade, so I first got into Klaubatamann after hearing Oranssi Pazuzu last year and wanting more from that kinda sound. No other band can hold a candle to Oranssi in the psychedelic black area as far as I'm concerned, but if you want some more good bands within that department, check out Candy Cane, This Is Past, and that one man Wormlust project I just reviewed. |

I might return to stuff like early Dimmu Borgir at some point but I remember at the time I didn't really enjoy that kind of black  |

Anything with psychedelic usually grabs my attention, so naturally black metal of that kind does as well. And I love me some Pazuzu! I'll check out those others (Candy Cane is the last name I would expect for a black metal band  ). Don't know of any other psychedelic black off the top of my head save Verdunkeln, they put an album out last year.
About the Wormlust one, I dig the ambient passages but not so much that raw sounding black stuff in it, although the psychedelic chunks make those parts listenable. |

i wouldn"t call symphonic, possibly athmospheric not either, straight up black metal |

I see what you mean, my idea of "straight up" black metal is probably misconstrued. What I meant by that was black metal that isn't of the proggy/psychedelic kind or mixed with other genres. Though symphonic black is obviously a mix of symphonic and black.. guess I just lump them together.
Though I'm curious wouldn't some more generic black use symphonic elements or go for the atmospheric approach? I've always associated those two musical elements with my idea of what "generic" black metal would be. |

well, mayhem didn"t need symphonic elements or a sound resembling what"s called atmospheric black
neither do bands that play pure black nowadays (examples: Haemoth, Behexen, Katharsis,....)
but of course any term describing music styles can be interpreted differently by different people |

Yeah I agree, "straight up black" isn't a hard and fast definition of sound so people would have their own ideas about it. Though I guess there is a general consensus about the "purity" of it; that it has black metal elements and nothing else added to the mix. |
