darkthrone - a blaze in the northern sky or under a funeral moon are basic; once you have a couple bm records, GET their transilvanian hunger, it's imperative.
what else?
beherit - the oath of black blood is basic too, hmmmm, xasthur is pretty sweet too, especially subliminal genocide. ohh yes, and abruptum! (you might want to check out abruptum later.)
if you choose to explore a more melodic side of bm, get:
emperor - in the nightside eclipse
satyricon - dark medieval times
sigh - scorn defeat
dodheimsgard - kronet til konge
arcturus - sideshow symphonies
a band that's melodic in a different way (less atmospheric and more guitar driven) is dissection, get storm of the light's bane.
also recommendable are enslaved who are classified as viking metal but it's an offshoot and part of the original wave of bm; certainly, their first albums like frost are very in the vein of bm.
