Can someone recommend me some black metal like Watain's Lawless Darkness? Watain seems to get a lot of hate but I really like the riffs they use on these album (it's also present on some of their other albums but not pulled off quite as well IMO). I want to say it's kind of punk-y? I'm having trouble putting my finger on what it is exactly but I think it's often a slightly slower pace with the power chords (letting them ring out more) + churning, abrasive but not dissonant melodies. More than anything though it's just a certain feel.

To give an example from other bands:

Ravencult - Possessed on Burial Ground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlPj9HmxJW0

Buried by Time and Dust (see 0:56 - honestly all of DMDS has a punky vibe to me): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yARepCcEvM4

Ork Bastards - Cold and Ruined Stones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBbtoq0iMnA (this has the "feel" although it's more thrashy)

Destroyer 666 has some similar elements as well especially on "Cold Steel..." but isn't quite in the same sweet spot.
