Based on the recent news that spastic metalcore bandwagoners I Wrestled A Bear Once have decided to change genres and apparently become a black metal band, it made me think about other bands that have changed their sound throughout their careers. Some bands do this very well and have a very solid career while others plunge themselves into a hole they never return from. We all know that underground metal listeners are not a forgiving bunch and when a band changes their sound cries of sell-out or bandwagon jumper are screamed from thousands of computers worldwide. Here a just a few bands that have changed their sound from the beginning of their career to their most recent outputs. Please post more bands that I have missed as I am positive that there are many many more out there.

Death Metal
Power Metal
Metallica
Thrash
Modern Rock
Darkthrone
