Name Bands That Have Completely Changed Their Sound

[CF87]

Slayer is perfect example of not mordernizing or changing sound well, the band did not even attempt to expand and just sound like lazy musicians. Slayer is not even innovative or even all that modern compared to what is going on and the only reason they get away with it is because of their impact in the 80's. As musicians slayer are not even close to touching their influences(iron maiden,judas priest).

 

[Zhou Tai 04]

Extol changed their sound multiple times.
Kekal did not drastically change from cd to cd, but their newest material is very different from their first stuff.
Ulver
Amorphis
Katatonia
Drottnar (started off playing folk black metal, now they play tech death)

Emperor sounds a lot different in Prometheus than off In The Nightside Eclipse.

 

[DarkBliss]

Although I haven't heard their later stuff, but Afflicted started out as a death metal band and then apparently turned to power metal

 

[Hatebreeder]

Emperor sounds a lot different in Prometheus than off In The Nightside Eclipse.

The production sure is nicer.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

In Flames changed their sound as well.

 

[~Derek~]

The production sure is nicer.

Yeah, but I like Nightside the best, I wish they woulda made another Nightside/Anthems type album, who knows, maybe they will since they've reunited.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Yeah, but I like Nightside the best, I wish they woulda made another Nightside/Anthems type album, who knows, maybe they will since they've reunited.

Honestly, I don't, because I believe it is impossible for them to outdo what those two albums offered. I'd like to see a continuation of their Prometheus style, that album needed a little tweaking.

I don't see why Emperor can't, take Celtic Frost for example. they came out with a very good album coming off a long layoff that appealed to lovers of thier first albums. I don't want another Prometheus, it was good, but the earlier works were better.

 

[undertone_x]

trivium completely

 

[Scott Evil]

actually I would say 3 classics, 2 very good albums and 1 slightly above average thrash album (Divine Intervention)

But you know fuck all, so what does it matter?

 

[Scott Evil]

so thats my 2cents on it... wish it cost that much though

That's a shit joke

 

[Scarifier]

That's a shit joke

Yeah, i'll let you pay me out with disgust and anger on that one, i must of been in a "old man telling some shit old joke to my grand kids for the 4000th time" mood that night, sorry, so sorry

 

[aqnimal]

I think what you are trying to say is, they are complete shit and they can't deviate from being shit. Once you're shit you're always shit. shitty shit shit

True, but Cristina Scarabi is still doable.

 

[aqnimal]

trivium completely

Which no doubt explains the piss balloons that were thrown at them the other night.

 

[aqnimal]

Def Leppard DEFINITELY. They went to total shit after "Pyromania".

 

[TylerTheNuke]

Yeah, but I don't think they've been through bad changes. It's just that their first albums sound somehow like Metallica, as they were saying that that band was kind of an idol for them. And later they've just found their own style and started to sound absolutely different. I like their latest stuff much more than that what they've started with.

And Theatre Of Tragedy is just a piece of crap, imo.

I agree 100 %. I worship catch 33. I was only trying to think of bands who changed for the better or at least not worse, hence my tiny list. Meshuggah, Death, King Crimson.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Def Leppard DEFINITELY. They went to total shit after "Pyromania".

Suck my balls asswipe.

 

[WNxScythe]

Emperor went through a rather dramatic change I'd say. Started out as minimalistic symphonic black metal and went to blackened thrash and finally straight out prog death metal.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I don't think anyone said Blut Aus Nord. Isis, Nachtmystium, and Mortiis also. It's hard to tell the new Nachtmystium is the same band as on Demise.
