Thinking of delving more into the black metal classics soon (also tried Mayhem's De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas recently, the vocals make it unlistenable...)
Eh, every classic is always overrated. Unless you were there at the time, liking the classics is always about establishing "cred" more than it is about actually enjoying art – sure, lots of people probably liked Transylvanian Hunger when it came out, but I'm quite sure most people who got into black metal afterward just listened to it enough to finally like it. Don't get me wrong – I liked Emperor the first time I heard them (Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk when I was a teenager), but I only understood the mastery of In the Nightside Eclipse this year. Different strokes.

Try Immortal's At the Heart of Winter.
