Why they might be annoying:

    Their music is basically an overblown and cheesy homage to Satanism.
    Ever since the band formed, they have been plagued by constant lineup changes.
    Their stage shows are grotesque, with the members dressing in goofy 'corpse paint,' dousing themselves with fake blood, and having pigs' heads impaled on inverted crosses.
    They certainly aren't bringing anything new to the black metal genre, as far as music and imagery goes.
    They overuse the name 'Satan' in their songs ('Satanic Blood,' 'An Apprentice of Satan,' 'The Arrival of Satan's Empire,' etc. ).
    The vocals are indecipherable screeches and howls.

Why they might not be annoying:

    'Secrets of the Black Arts' was a huge seller in black metal upon it's release.
    They are seen as a major band in modern black metal.
    They go for the 'raw, blistering' black metal form and avoid keyboards.
    They covered Slayer's 'Dead Skin Mask' for the Slayer tribute album, 'Post Mortem.'
