Her von welken Nächten (2001) by Dornenreich
This is such a beautiful black metal album... Ambient-like synths, elegant violin and cello playing, vocal change-ups between aggressively fast singing and booming baritones, and (of course) heavily distorted and sometimes spastic guitar parts. There are even three dark folk pieces...
Overall, I'm pretty thrilled that I like this... not only because its metal (a genre that I have struggled with), but also because I love every single track on it. Very melodic, very emotional, very good... Love the album art, too.
This is a decent black metal album, too:
