I think the image was to be liked only because of the music IIRC. And their music isn't exactly heavy metal [img]tongue.gif[/img] I'd put it more like death-ish
BTW I think for good double bass (and other cool stuff) you'd better look in other genres than heavy metal. I think I listened to some bands I hated for some time just for the drums, I still actually listen to it sometimes. Nick Barker from ex-cradle of filth and ex(I think)-dimmu borgir is an example, he rocks, shame the rest of the music and lyrics aren't my stuff. The Children of Bodom drummer can do some really cool stuff, I found a site with a drum solo from a concert and it was awesome. Also After Forever and Epica have great double bass, but a lot of other death-/black-/doom-ish bands have. But unfortunately you often need a special taste to listen to it.
