Thyrane - Travesty of Heavenly Essence (2005)

Cost: $2.99
The cover art for this one confused me at first when I saw it online.  Then I got the actual CD and I realized it's supposed to be Homeless Jesus!

It's rare for bands to recover when they've taken on non-metal influences, especially so quickly, but this album is one of those examples.  Previously they had mixed symphonic black metal and industrial/electronic influences on the Hypnotic album, but this reverts back to the melodic black metal vein of their earlier stuff, which I find far preferable.  I want to say there's a very slight industrial feel to the drumming in a few sections, though had they not released an industrialized album I probably wouldn't have taken any note of it.
