The closest thing I've ever liked to black metal is Red Harvest, and probably because the industrial slant makes for more varied listening than most black metal. Plus, it also makes Red Harvest considerably heavier than most industrial bands.
I tried listening to Xasthur's "Prison of Mirrors" on YouTube, and gave up after less than a minute. Not to mention the fact that the whole video was a creepy pic of Malefic standing before a noose with some "old film" effects.
Remember the episode of Metalocalypse where they went to Norway and they were at the record store? The store owner was in corpsepaint and there was this tape of agonized screaming and frenzied guitar in the backgorund. The owner said it was his band's latest demo...
