So after listening to some Dimmu Borgir recently (I really dig the newest album, In Sorti Diabloii), and my continue listening of Bathory (which is an amazing band by the way, Quorthon is a god), anyone got any suggestions on some black metal.
Not looking to go too extreme like some of the Norwegian bands but any suggestions?
This website should be your first source (here is the link for black metal):
If you haven't listen to Amon Amarth yet, you should (grab their song The Pursuit of Vikings). If you like that song, just start grabbing more, I think they are great. And yes Dimmy is great!
Try Enslaved as well (get the album Ruun). Once I know if these are classics to you, I have a bunch more. Gojira is epic as well, worth getting (environmental death metal!!!).

I saw Gojira live when I saw them with In Flames, they were awesome!
I listen to Amon Amarth all the time.
For those who like Death/Kreator, you should check out Voodoocult. I think both Chuck and Mille use their talents with the guitaring.
stumbled onto this band thanks to Siruis and the Liquid Metal station (best radio station ever). heavy doom/stoner metal with female vocals, ends up as a pretty potent combo

She actually left the band recently... too bad.
Their album 'Weight of Light' is pretty sweet too.
There is probably more hardcore stuff out there but I downloaded Immortal, Burzum, 1349, Behemoth, Barathrum, Darkthrone, Emperor, Nargaroth, and Eternal Tears of Sorrow.
After black metal, I don't think you can get any more hardcore, I have almost reached the limits.
I guess I can go Death metal, but I am very particular on the low death growls.

Oh you can definitely get more hardcore. Anaal Nathrakh, Pig Destroyer or Insect Warfare (or most grind bands for that matter) would be pushing the limit in my opinion.
The last few Darkthrone albums have been awesome (though they've started to incorporate a lot of catchy heavy metal aspects lately).

May I recommend Diabolical Masquerade? If you already havnt checked them out I would give them a shot. Black metal with just a touch of progressive feel. I'm by no means a black metal expert but I really enjoy their sound.
I've been on a huge At The Gates kick lately... Freaking love their guitar sound/tone. So much bite and edge.
