I think the next black metal concert I went to after the Behemoth initiation gig was DHG. true enough they are not pure black metal anymore, but they still are one of the oldest and most iconic black metal bands from Norway. For alone that I had to go see them. They featured Fenriz in the beginning, so they are somewhat of a legend.
I must say that Avantgarde Black Metal is not easy. It's exactly what the name suggests. Live they were formidable and the show was pretty ace. Aldrahn is one crazy dude and his eccentric way of dancing is the center of the stage.
I own three CD's from DHG, 666 International, Supervillain Outcast and the legendary Kronet til Konge. While the latter is a pure norwegian black metal album, a quite good one also, the other two are experimental black metal. I bought the reissue of Kronet til Konge, which features a full rehearsal session, and that is what most interests me. It's so interesting to have a glimpse behind the ready product. This reminds me of the early Emperor rehearsal session, which is absolutely fantastic.
Let me drop a link here, it's just too good. Young Ihsahn, his stance and confidence, then Faust, a true beast on the drums.. too bad this lineup was not going to last long and even then Mortiis was already gone, the main songwriter of Emperor at that time.
