Are Immortal a real metal band or, like, not?

[Wolf-Bone]

Simple question really. It's just I see shooped pics all over the net of these dudes in makeup wearing party hats and chowing down on sausages n stuff an I'm all like wtf, why are these dudes dissing metal. That's not very metal :(

They're Norwegian. I think that pretty much can explain all of it. Like Dimmu Borgir and Lordi, they are ridiculous and over the top (and pretty hilarious to watch.)
