More Metal Bands That Changed Their Sound

As a result of Morbid Angel’s first new album in 8 years, Illud Divinum Insanus, we have the newest addition to Metal Bands That Change Their Sound. This record is a little different from the other bands that we have discussed as they don’t just change their sound from one subgenre to another, they completely destroyed their classic death metal sound and transformed into terrible industrial nu-metal garbage. I, as well as many other metalheads, was stoked to hear the first material with David Vincent in 16 years as he was one of the originators of death metal vokills, he has been an icon of underground metal for over 20 years. Even though his vocal chords are still covered in molten steel, the production level is too clean for a band this dirty. In addition to that the drums are not the brutal assault that we are used to hearing and a great deal of the guitar riffs are very generic. Overall, this is going to be one of those albums like St. Anger and The Unspoken King that legendary bands would love to forget as the band’s fans consistently discredit and critics will generally pan (with the exception of mainstream critics who will herald the album as an excellent progression). So take a listen for yourself, listen to the classics then listen to the new stuff to make your own decision.
