Why they might be annoying:

    The band began as a trio, but has since become the one-man project of Rob Darken.
    Rob is violently anti-Christian and one of the leading figures in the 'National Socialist' (Nazi) black metal scene.
    Many of Rob's lyrics deal blatantly with genocide, white supremacy and anti-Christian themes.
    Rob has said his voice 'comes from deep within my dark, hurt soul. It is cold and sharp as a dagger.'
    They do hokey publicity shots dressed as vikings.
    Ex-member Karcharoth was in-and-out of mental institutions before committing suicide in 2004.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Rob Darken continues to record Graveland albums as a 'one-man band.'
    The band's influences include classic black metal artists, including Emperor, Bathory and Burzum, as well as classical and pagan folk music.
    Their music tends to have an epic, classical-influenced quality.
    Despite the band's Nazi beliefs, they are seen as a major band in modern black metal.
