Here is a list of MY favorite black(ish) metal albums (sometimes I like a little creamer...but no sugar). And yes I am aware that bands like Kreator and Amebix and not "Technically" black metal, but I don't care because they had a huge influence and their sound is very "blackened" on certain albums.

Before we start a few things
I Rule: Break the Law Rules!
II Rule: A Perfect cover will get a special mark " 🤘 " and then comes my pure subjective view that will always be different from yours. album with \m/ vs album without \m/ but a little bit higher = still both amazing ! i can not choose T_T don't push me!
III Rule: Black Sabbath Effect(Positive side) - When you look from afar on the cover of the album and it seems incredibly classy,gorgeous and cool, but when you try to see what's happening there, only one thing comes to mind "WHAT THE F...?"
IV Rule: Stop reading the rules and start rocking
