** As with many aspects of the band, though, "The Call of the Wintermoon" has been interpreted as a StealthParody of stupid black metal videos (generally featuring men in corpse paint running around a forest), of which there are many. It's just, "The Call of the Wintermoon" is the most

Fifteen years later, he's still in the band.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks - One of the reactions to their change to "blackened thrash" on ''At the Heart of Winter''; surprisingly, the reaction to the change is far less extreme than what happened with other metal bands that changed their style. Some of the initial reactions to ''All Shall Fall'' also had this attitude to them.

* OldShame - Abbath ''did'' eventually describe "The Call of the Wintermoon" as a mistake that the band, as youths (Abbath in particular was still 18), let get rushed through production; it was filmed in just two hours and shown on television immediately after it was edited that day. Even during its first airing (a frame of which still seen in the version circulated on the Internet) did it get mocked by the presenter.
