Oh and I will admit failure in telling you to listen to real black metal. *tips hat*

I also love Bal Sagoth, Burzum, and Emperor. "In The Nightside Eclipse" is a frickin' beautiful album. Horrible production, but beautifully symphonic. A huuuge Cradle of Filth influence.
Tartaros, are a virtually unknown Carnival black metal band, I don't know why; their music is just...awesome.
Oh yeah, and Cradle of Filth aren't officially "Black Metal". They don't believe in strict genre barriers; they said "the only way to describe us is 'Cradle of Filth'".
Personally, I'd call them 'Extreme Gothic (even Vampyric) Metal'.

Go listen to some real black metal

Oh man, I still can't get over this.. *laughs*.
How little you know.
I own:
4
Immortal albums, (Blizzard Beasts, At The Heart of Winter, Damned in Black, and Sons of Northern Darkness - SOND is easily their best. I can easily just give reviews of all of them now.)
1
Dimmu Borgir album, (For All Tid - Shit album, but it was given to me. And, it was their debut, they hadn't found their style,
and it's all in Norsk. So, cut them some slack. But man, their new stuff, so indescribably brilliant.)
a 'Moon' album, (an unknown Black Metal band, but the album was pretty good)
Marduk - "Heaven Shall Burn...When We are Gathered" (Eh, not for me. Way, way, WAY too fast and brutal; even for me).
I also own an Aborym record, a Darkthrone one (sorry, but easily the worst piece of ....*beeep*... I've ever heard), and 3 Unlord albums. Unlord are great, and they're just as unknown as...Tartaros, or even Moon.
I don't actually like Black Metal, per se (especially the National Socialist side of it), but
damn, "Symphonic Black Metal" is a whole other story..
So yeah, you should be feeling some failure right about now.
