I am relatively new to both Death/Black Metal, so my list is short:

1) Amon Amarth - Once Sent from the Golden Hall. (Melodic Death Metal, I know)
2) Emperor - IX Equilibrium, In the Nightside Eclipse.
3) Old Man's Child - Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion.

I love these albums, they have really gotten me into the genre. I will get stuff from bands like Mercyful Fate and Immortal soon.
