Why they might be annoying:

    They changed members constantly (just look at the list).
    Messiah Marcolin would dress in a monk's habit onstage.
    A majority of their songs concerned witchcraft, death, the occult...the list goes on.
    They recorded a live album in 1990 and soon after things went sharply downhill for the group.
    Messiah Marcolin, whom many considered the group's definitive vocalist, left the band in 1991.
    They've had several vocalists.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were considered one of the major influences of early doom metal.
    Their album, 'Nightfall, is widely considered their best and most accessible.
    Messiah Marcolin was trained in opera and his booming voice added a sort of mystique to the music.
    They were strongly influenced by Black Sabbath.
