....I really dislike black metal. I feel like its only purpose is to sound evil simply for the sake of sounding evil. I just don't get that, but to each his own I guess.

I'm more into Beige Metal than Black Metal

They're pretty cool - there's a nice melancholic vibe to them.

I like Ulver when they're not playing black metal, but find their black metal to be awful.

Arcturus seem a bit too avant garde to toss in with black metal but I like them a bit.

Really? I like all of Ulver's discography but their black metal stuff is great too. Nattens Madrigal is beautiful - the production is so harsh yet quite melodic at the same time. I love the vibe it gives off. Nice basslines too.

Arcturus is brilliant... I'd say they're more avant-garde than black metal. Only their first album could really be called BM. Have you seen my review of La Masquerade Infernale?

Solefald
Rotting Christ
Ludicra
Cradle Of Filth (are still better than Xasthur will ever be)
Scholomance
Aker****e
Old Man's Child
Weakling
Silencer
Alcest (though something about them seems more doom than black to me.

I like how you list (apart from alcest) some of the worst black metal bands ever to gain any form of recognition.

^^^ yeah no kidding (except for Solefald, they are pretty cool but hardly black metal anyways)

What?! Weakling and Rotting Christ are still massively underrated in the black metal world, imo. Especially the latter who've been 'round for ages. And Alcest aren't even black metal really, although the influences are definitely there. If anyone here likes Drudkh, then a band I'd recommend is Negură Bunget. Their last album, Om got great reviews from various metal publications, but their back catalogue is solid too.
