Have you heard their latest album?
I've read a few good reviews of if but I wasn't overly impressed, it seemed to lack something the old albums had.

Sodom - 1982

I'd be more inclined to dump Destruction for Accuser. Not sure what it is with Destruction but while I've liked some songs I've never enjoyed a full album. Plenty of people on other forums I've been on rank any of Destruction's first four albums as classics and top tier albums but I just never found them that great. I remember thinking at the time of release that Diabolical had some reasonable stuff on it but it's ultimately been forgettable for me because I can't remember it now.
On the other hand I've always liked the fun and silliness of Tankard so I'd always rate them in the Teutonic Thrash 4

Accuser - "Dependent Domination"
Accuser - "Diabolic"
I enjoy the output from Tankard from time to time, but if it was up to me, I'd put Accuser in the Big 4 of German thrash, along with Kreator, Sodom, and Destruction.  Exumer would also have to get an honorable mention.  It's been awhile since I've delved into the entire Accuser catalog (I've recently stuck with the more modern albums), but I'll be listening through all 12 albums this weekend.  They're one of the few thrash bands who didn't go completely off the rails in the mid 90's and completely abandon the pure thrash sound.  Their releases in 1994 and 1995, respectively, certainly had more of a groove to the sound, but the thrash intensity is still very much there.  Really enjoying the catalog!

Gama Bomb - BATS

Funerals I've been to were at the bakery they just go behind a curtain and the rest is unseen by anyone but bakery staff.
My dad's mate used to work at one before he retired. We had a tour of the place and unless the coffin is headed out to the yard it's all handled behind curtains.
 
 

It appears Obituary's new album has leaked early for anyone interested in sampling before the official release date.
 

Well there is that. But you'd have to say he knew what pain he was going to be subjected to when he paid several thousand dollars for the ticket.

Loved the 80's output, 90's no so much, the latest is okay but not as good as Frost and Fire

Venom - Live from the Hammersmith Odeon 1985

I don't think I have a guilty pleasure, well not as far as music goes, but I have been told before that what happens on the farm should stay on the farm.
 

Whois thatguy?

Thing about Blut aus Nord is they have several different distinct sounds. They do these trilogies where they'll have 3 albums that go together as a series, but they don't necessarily release them all in a row, they'll jump around. They have the Memoria Vetusta trilogy, The Liber trilogy, the 777 Trilogy and now they're 2 albums into what I assume will eventually be the Disharmonium trilogy. They also have a whole bunch of other one-off standalone albums, EP's and splits.
My favorite of theirs is by far Hallucinogen from 2019 which I would probably consider to be their most accessible album. Lots of old school traditional metal inspired guitar leads throughout really make that album for me. Beware the handful of vocals are fairly buried in the mix, I'm not even sure if there are any actual lyrics, it could almost be considered an instrumental album. But it's so good.
The Memoria Vetusta series is the one I think some non black metal fans like you could maybe appreciate. It's not your standard filthy Satanic black metal it's more high-falutin or grandiose than that, it's even pretty at times, like a symphony. But not pretty like Deafheaven where you just want to puke, it just doesn't sound so dark evil like most of the black metal I go for. I would recommend MVII: Dialoge with the Stars from that series if you're interested in checking that out. But all 3 MV's are very good.
This latest Disharmonium series that FA's all aflutter over (he's been posting it fairly regularly) does absolutely nothing for me. But that's where FA's and my tastes diverge, we all know I don't go in for this dense, angular, purposely inaccessible, dissonant music like he does. I like more musical music that I can follow along with from the first go and don't have to work so hard to try to enjoy. Unless it's war metal or something and then the sheer brutality is kinda the whole point. But it still needs to have riffs I can folllow along with.
I like the 777 series to a point, but I can't say I love it. Betcha FA digs that trilogy the most. Don't think that'd be a good starting point for the band though.
Not as familiar with the Liber trillogy so I can't tell you which one of the three is the best. I think they're a bit more accessible than the 777's though, but not by much.
If you go all the way back to their first album Ultima Thulée from 1995 it sounds more like more typical black metal. That's my 2nd favorite of theirs. You probably wouldn't like it if you don't like most black metal. 
I also have to highlight their 4th album, The Work Which Transforms God 2003, it's kind of a dark industrial black metal masterpiece. That'd be my 3rd favorite of theirs. It goes off-kilter at times but not so much that I can't appreciate it. And the last song, the trancelike 10 minute Procession of the Dead Clowns is an absolute gem, I'll often listen to it 3 times in a row even though the album is already 52 minutes long. 
There's also the 5th album Mort from '06 which sounds somewhat similar to TWWTG. Same dark trancelike atmosphere, but yet different. They were experimenting here I think.
Shit I almost forgot their 2017 album Deus Salutis Meae. Another dark masterpiece. I was a few years late discovering this one but I do really enjoy it because it's so dark and doomy almost. I'll put this as my 4th favorire. 
All things considered they're probably not a band you'd be into as FA has already said, a lot of their stuff has an off-kilter feel to it like you spun around 5 times fast and now you can't walk straight. Or maybe legless like you've been on the piss all night, (even though I know you've said you've given up the amber fluid and chasing Shielas). But if you're really just curious and interested to see what they're all about or why all the fuss over them, there is enough there to warrant some investigation even for thick bastards like us. Although I'd be the first to admit I definitely have to be in the right mood for some of their albums. You can't really get a feel for them by just listening to any one of their albums. You'll need to sample at least 3 or 4. Just stay away from the Disharmoniums.
 
Blut Aus Nord - Hallucinogen
 
Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta II: Dialogue with the Stars
 
Blut aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God
 
Blut aus Nord - Deus Salutis Meæ
 

I think it's five and one to possibly come next year.

Elm Street - The Great Tribualtion

Go even heavier with the southern thrash and listen to German band Dezperadoz.
Angleripper did vocals on the first album. But Alex Kraft has been a long time friend of Tom's and appeared on a number of things Tom did from Sodom to Oknel Tom. He's also produced a bit of Tom's stuff.
