Abigor-http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/abigor.aspx?ac=abigor-the fascinating thing about these guys is how much writing they put into the music.  Listen to any song by them and count how many individual non repeated riffs there are.

Lunar Aurora-http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/lunar-aurora.aspx?ac=lunar%20aurora-they've got three eras to their music, the first is awesome symphonic black metal with their best album IMO being the amazing Weltenganger.  Eventually, they change it up to a more atmospheric depressive black metal tone.  Still great.

Blut aus Nord-http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/blut-aus-nord.aspx-one of the best atmospheric black metal bands ever.  They go from a pagan, wintery atmosphere in their first two albums to a more nightmarish sound later on.

Nokturnal Mortum-http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/nokturnal-mortum.aspx?ac=nokturnal-pagan black metal at its finest.  Very epic sounding.  Their early stuff is more symphonic black metal influenced, but they started to use folk instruments in NeChrist along with the keys.  The two albums that came after that one are even better.

Borknagar-http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/borknagar.aspx?ac=borknagar-first three are black metal.  The Olden Domain is one of the best albums of the genre.  Later they switched to a more progressive metal sound.

Leviathan-http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/leviathan.aspx-awesome US based black metal.  One of the most well presented cases of a hateful atmosphere.  He's released five albums (one of them non-metal), but check out his splits and compilations too.  They've got some awesome tracks that don't appear on his full-lengths.

Paysage d'Hiver-http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/paysage-dhiver.aspx?ac=paysage-a little out of season, but this is awesome winter themed black metal.  Steineiche and Schattengang are my favorite albums, but you should also check out the self titled and Winterkalte as well as the two ambient albums.

Darkspace-http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/darkspace.aspx?ac=darkspace-the man behind Paysage d'Hiver plays in this band.  They're a very awesome space themed atmospheric black metal band.  They sound a good bit like Paysage d'Hiver except for the better production and even more extreme sounding drum programming.
