Norwegian black metal albums that are better than/as good as DaD:
Burzum - Hvis lyset tar oss
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger (I'd throw Soulside Journey in there as well but it's not black metal)
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse, Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, Prometheus (I'm a fanboy, sue me)
Enslaved - Vikingligr veldi, Mardraum
Ulver - Bergtatt, Nattens madrigal
There're probably others from other countries as well, but can't be arsed to think of them at the moment. Stuff like, say, DMDS is good but it's not as fully developed and thorough as Dead as Dreams.
Weakling - Desasters in the Sun
