Well it's definitely bigger than most other black metal bands' studio discographies I can think of. Enslaved and Darkthrone are the only other ones I can think of that are comparable.

There's always the first band of the genre. And don't forget about the likes of Striborg, Circle of Ouroborus and Drowning the Light, but those are obviously more in for the quantity over quality.

Venom, you mean? Bathory could probably qualify too, now that I think of it. Also Hellveto and Njiqahdda, the latter of which becomes even more impressive when you consider that they also are the same guys behind Njiijn, Oaks of Bethel and Funeral Eclipse (the former two of which have not insubstantial output in their own right). When a band puts out that much music, you have to wonder if they do anything other than write and record music in their spare time. Senmuth is another example of this. Hellveto was at that rate at one point but he seems to have slowed down somewhat in recent years.

it's late at night and I'm tired, time for some ambient music
Yeah. I'm not interested at all in Senmuth or Nijnjijnjjnbnbgggg but everything Mories does (Gnaw Their Tongues, Aderlating, De Magia Veterum, Cloak of Altering, Seirom etc.) does rule. There's a difference between visionaries and people with way too much time on their hands imo.
Senmuth's discography is a total crapshoot. He releases so much music some of it's bound to be good. Some of his albums are brilliant ambient/folk metal, while others are almost unlistenable. I remember a few years ago he released an album that was four hours long. It was good but who has the time to listen to a four hour long album multiple times? On the positive side all of his music is free which begs the question: how the hell does he support himself?
Maybe he's independently wealthy. I suspect he may also sell hard copies of his music which would enable him to make something from it. I know Njiqahdda does the same thing - their whole discography is up on Bandcamp as pay-what-you-want downloads but they've sold hard copies of nearly everything they've released as well. And, again, their discography is something of a crapshoot - some of their material is brilliant, but some of it is not particularly interesting. Or maybe I just don't like the style of that stuff enough, idk.
I haven't gotten through much of GTT's discography but what I've heard does rule.
Anyway.
