Craft

Craft are a four-piece black metal band from Dalecarlia, Sweden. They formed in 1994 under the name "Nocta" before changing it to Craft in 1998. I know I don't usually post bands within this realm of music, but this is a band that has to be heard by any fan of extreme/aggressive music. As far as black metal goes, Craft are pretty accessible (I use this word very loosely). The tremolo-picked guitars, shrieked vocals, fast-paced songs and visual aesthetic are still all present, but with a few unique touches. For one, Craft's production is pretty clear and solid, especially on their last album. They also incorporate a lot of more straightforward heavy metal influence, especially in their riffs. I think a lot of people will be into this band, so give them a try. A good starting point is Void, especially if this genre is new to you. And let me know if you'd be interesting in seeing more bands similar to this on here.
