is immortal a black metal band???

One has to admit though that Immortal has had a strong death metal aesthetic to the construction of their riffs and music ever since Blizzard Beasts, that's one of the reasons I was so attracted to them from the start.....and that the last two albums aren't really much more strictly black metal than, say, mid-era/recent offerings from Dimmu Borgir.
 
Immortal's first album, "Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism," is black metal, the others aren't really; especially not "At the Heart of Winter" and later works.
 
Somone is having some fun here :loco:

I would definitely say they're gangster rappers. :ill:
