Go To

1* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Some have speculated that the band is actually a massive StealthParody of the black metal genre.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Basically, all of it. Even the band's "lesser" albums would still be highlights in most other bands' discographies. The most loved albums among fans tend to be ''At the Heart of Winter'', ''Pure Holocaust'', and ''Sons of Northern Darkness'' in roughly that order (some fans may swap the latter two). Listeners who enjoy the band's sound should not overlook the work of side project I, either.
3* BrokenBase: The band reuniting, but Abbath not returning has been this for fans, especially considering Abbath is the band's face. On the other hand, Demonaz was the primary songwriter/lyricist of the band, even after he stopped playing guitar, and Abbath hired King Ov Hell for his solo band, who's infamous for a similar trademark dispute within Music/{{Gorgoroth}}. The [[RashomonStyle differing accounts]] regarding what happened during the recording sessions for the band's ninth album prior to their second breakup haven't helped with this either.
4* EpicRiff: A lot of these too, though this isn't as surprising.
5* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The video for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VBdAY8eA9w The Call of the Wintermoon]]", which is also responsible for black metal's reputation among some as a "silly genre taken too seriously".
6* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: ''Blizzard Beasts'' was dedicated to Horgh, as after several years of inability to secure a committed drummer (and their attempts to record drums themselves criticized), they finally found someone capable of playing and anything and anytime. Fifteen years later, he's still in the band.
7* {{Narm}}[=/=]NarmCharm: Take your pick. [[http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x18/atsoyat/BlizzardBeasts.jpg Their]] [[http://www.immortal.nu/img/covers/big/2000_damned_in_black.jpg album]] [[http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/i/immortal/album-sons-of-northern-darkness.jpg art]], their lyrics ("These mountains which I heart"), their videos...
8* MemeticMutation: [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/immortal The band itself.]]
9* SignatureSong: "Withstand the Fall of Time", "One by One" or "The Sun No Longer Rises"
10* 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.
