True bands

[Astral Poetry]

What bands do you think have remained true to either the death metal or black metal genres and the ideology of the two? Be truthful

 

[JonnyD]

Obituary (I see a pattern forming here Obituary is the only Death metal I like)

 

[MURAI]

I don't mind if a band changes their style and steps away from "traditional" death metal if I like their new style that is...

 

[tempestadiossa]

Mayhem
Darkthrone
Satyricon

 

[Profano]

Obituary (I see a pattern forming here Obituary is the only Death metal I like)

World Demise isn't true

Vader and Suffocation are true death bands

 

[the_dying]

Mayhem
Darkthrone
Satyricon

Yeah right, never heard of Soulside Journey?

Bolt Thrower

 

[tempestadiossa]

Yeah right, never heard of Soulside Journey?

Actually not

Death metal - Cannibal Corpse (if only because they've effectively been re-recording the same album for years... hehehe), Desecration (Welsh DM band, first album was banned until the artwork and lyrics were heavily censored and the band have been under the watchful eye of the Welsh authorities ever since), Morbid Angel.

Black Metal - I'd agree with Darkthrone, but Mayhem to my mind started out as more death metal than black...

 

[the_dying]

Bolt Thrower

Their first albums were grind at some times. The newer ones not.

 

[the_dying]

Actually not

That's the first album of Darkthrone and it's 100% pure death metal with some old Stockholm influences.

 

[the_dying]

It would say: DISMEMBER. They never changed that much.

 

[Sonnenritter]

Judas Iscariot
Morbid Angel
Deicide

 

[yabba]

That's the first album of Darkthrone and it's 100% pure death metal with some old Stockholm influences.

heh, that's their only album I like

amon amarth has remained pretty constant. (regardless of whether they're 'true' death metal)

 

[NAD]

Morbid Angel
Cannibal Corpse
Dissection

True= Doing how they feel to do.
Actually the definition of being "true" for me is Queensryche.
They did whatever they wanted , didnt care about the poser/thrash fashion of mid-late 80s, and released their most "difficult" album (Promised Land), after their biggest selling success (Empire)
Another TRUE band is Ulver , because:
they signed to Century Media , and Century Media expected something close to "Kveldssanger" or smthing, ballads and stuff, and they released their most raw and hard material ever with "Nattens Madrigal".
true is being true to yourself , not to some fans.

Well, in the original question, it is what remained true to the genres, not to themselves.
