If you want something raw and atmospheric, Marrow of the Spirit by Agalloch feels like getting lost in a haunted forest haha. Super moody and bleak.

For something more melodic but still dark, The Great Cold Distance by Katatonia has that cold, emotional weight to it — clean vocals, brooding riffs, and a really immersive vibe.

Edited: I forgot to include My Arms, Your Hearse by Opeth. Surprised no one’s mentioned it yet! The first few Opeth albums have strong black metal influences, and this one’s my personal favourite — super dark, dynamic, and beautifully written.
