one more thing, i recommend you check out the forefathers of the genre, sometimes known as first wave of black metal, the basics are:
venom - welcome to hell, black metal and at war with satan (those three are mandatory)
bathory - the first three (hammerheart was mentioned, but that's more symphonic, these are raw, necro produced, blastbeat outfitted, bleak sounding)
celtic frost - the first three (morbid tales, to mega therion, into the pandemonium)
if you research, you'll also find mentions of german thrash as seminal cornerstones of the bm sound, even though these are thrash metal with bleaker, more brutal sounds; these are kreator, sodom and destruction, the big three.
also seminal but more obscure are sarcofago and tormentor.
