Damien Dubrovnik - Songs for Loviatar
I got this recommended to me a while ago, and I am only listening to it now. Damn, I should have listened earlier because this is excellent. Mesmerizing noise/drone sounds mixed with raspy, black metal-like vocals. This was released on the excellent Danish label Posh Isolation in 2009.Download

Luciation - Infernalistic Flames Of Luciftias
One of my favourite releases from the "raw black metal" sub-genre. Harsh, uncomprimising black filth from Denmark. All of their releases are quality but this album really stands out for me.Download

Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath
Continuing on the theme - one of the greatest metal albums of all time. Bow down and worship.Download
Brats - 1980
As promised, here is the one and only Brats LP which is further removed from the Mercyful Fate metal sound and is more NWOBHM/hard rock mixed with some punk. This was before King Diamond joined the band.Download
Brats - 18th January 1981 (bootleg)
Brats were a Danish punk/metal band that later became one of the greatest metal bands ever in Mercyful Fate. If you don't know who Mercyful Fate are, they basically created the black metal image and hence I often refer to them as a proto-black metal band along with stuff like Sarcofago and early Sodom, even though the music is basically thrash metal. You can recognize almost all of the songs on this as Mercyful Fate songs, albeit with some differing lyrics (it can be weird at first hearing the tune of Curse of the Pharaohs to completely different lyrics). King Diamond's unique vocals are also instantly recognizable. Compared with their 1980 LP (which I will post too), this is much more metal and might as well be a MF record. Indeed, most of these songs can also be found on Mercyful Fate reissues as bonus tracks.Download
