Early 90's is the start. 2nd wave was mostly developed through the tape trading underground of the late 80's and early 90's. The Norwegian scene catapulted to the mainstream after Mayhem's internal struggles and the infamous church burnings between 92-93. The albums produced by Eirik 'Pytten' Hundvin at the Grieghallen records are the most popularly accepted sound of the 2nd wave of black metal.
From Norway: Mayhem's De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas,
Immortal albums between 91 - 95, the three
Darkthrone albums from 92 - 94,

Emperor - In the nightside eclipse and also split with Enslaved, Wrath of the tyrant demo and Emperor EP,
