Rudi Peni is all you need, and absolutely exceptional band. Get Cacophony into you as well.

If there was one punk band I'd recommend to fans of death and black metal its RP. Their backstory, their aesthetic, the sheer dementedness of them..Nik Blinko was the Timo Ketola of punk in his day.

For those unfamiliar, here's a taste:

That track sounds a bit more mental than what's on 'Death Church'

Will give a listen

Currently listening to Queens of the Stoneage play around the corner from my flat. Saved myself 50 quid, got to hear "Regular John" while I was doing the washing up. Happy days.

Mütiilation - black millenium

I never got in to the LLN bands. Whatever I heard years back was too noisy and raw for my tastes at the time. This album from 2001 might not be considered part of that early French scene? In any case it's easily accessible and contains some absolute black metal gold. Particularly the last two songs. I only got it recently and I'm sickened I skipped on the band for years.

Been humming and hawing over them myself. I might have to take the plunge one of these days.

Early Mutiilation is great. Bleak as fuck black metal that's similar to Veles at their rawest. I'd recommend Remains of a Ruined, Dead, Cursed Soul as a starting point.
