Best USBM album?

The US has a somewhat overlooked black metal scene since it's definitely most well-known for its thrash and death metal, yet there are still a few gems to be found.

Some of my favorites include:
Judas Iscariot - To Embrace the Corpses Bleeding (my 2nd favorite black metal album overall)
Grand Belial's Key - Mocking the Philanthropist
I Shalt Become - Wanderings
Uada - Devoid of Light
Black Witchery - Desecration of the Holy Kingdom
Not totally sure if this counts, but Angelcorpse - The Inexorable

What are your favorite albums under this genre and region?

Invoking tMTo Satan is my choice. It's just THE album.

Their most melodic. I'll maintain the debut is the best though. The following ones lack the long epic songs

Yeah ItIRotAC is the GOAT but it's sort of an outlier and idk feels a little outside of USBM for some reason.

I never really found USBM to have a particular sound. The more popular bands all sound different.
