My vote would have to go to Emperor.

Agreed, although I enjoy most of the genre, most of the bands are overrated.

I agree Opeth is overrated, though I like them. Other overrated bands:

Morbid Angel
Slayer
Strapping Young Lad

I still like these bands though.

How are Dimmu Borgir overrated? Almost everyone hates them!

Same with Cradle of Filth.

Dimmu Borgir are one of the most UNDERRATED bands in metal, not overrated.

And yeah, I agree that Iron Maiden are hugely overrated, they blow the proverbial goat.

That's actually a good point.

 

[LuminousAether]

Nope. Wrong. CoF are hated mostly by metalhead sheep who hate anything and everything popular, because they associate popularity with alienation.

CoF are very skilled musicians and only Dani Filth holds them back from greatness, he is a very irritating vocalist. But musically, they are quite good. They just need better songwriting and vocals, and they would be one of the best metal bands around.

I must admit, that did make my hard elitist veneer crack a smile. Good form, old pal.
