* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: ''Welcome to Hell'' and ''Black Metal'' for starters. ''At War With Satan'' is high up on people's lists, too.
* CompleteMonster ("[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMX2kd9YNTQ Countess Bathory]]"): UsefulNotes/ElizabethBathory is a [[AristocratsAreEvil sadistic countess]] seeking to [[ImmortalityImmorality stop her body from aging]]. Inviting the area's virgins to her castle, she has them let their guard down by throwing constant lavish parties. However, every night, she kills one of them to [[BloodBath bathe in their blood]].
%% * EpicRiff: All of them.
* FirstInstallmentWins: ''Welcome to Hell'' and ''Black Metal'' were their first two releases, as well as their most popular and well-liked.
* HarsherInHindsight: There have been a wave of scandals involving female teachers having sex with teenage male students. Making the song "Teacher's Pet" ahead of its time.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: After ''At War With Satan'', ''Possessed'' (which was composed of songs that were written before ''AWWS'') was criticized for sounding the same as the first two albums. The bad production on it didn't help either.
* {{Narm}}: The poor recording quality of their music and their bad lyrics often makes it hard to listen to their music without laughing.
* NarmCharm: However, they ''DID'' go on to become one of Metal's most influential bands, so people still obviously like them.
* NightmareFuel: The lyrics to "Buried Alive" from ''Black Metal'' are pretty much guaranteed to give nightmares to anybody who is claustrophobic.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Common opinion on the ''Calm Before the Storm'' album, which has more melodic style.
* VindicatedByHistory: When they were released, ''Welcome to Hell'' and ''Black Metal'' were widely panned by the music press and other musicians as juvenile and sloppy. It was only later with the rise of First- and Second-Wave BlackMetal (and, to a lesser degree, crust punk) that they got recognition.

** ''At War With Satan'' got a rather mixed reception at the time for the title track's ridiculous length (just a few seconds shy of 20 minutes) and rather cheesy concept (a Heaven-and-Hell battle where Hell wins), and the OvershadowedByControversy status it got in the UK which led to the album being banned from HMV didn't help either. Nowadays, it's often seen as one of their best albums.
