| Most Consistent Metal Bands
List is pretty subjective...I'd expect as much criticism as approval so fire away.... | | 10 | Alice in Chains
While Black Gives Way to Blue is definitely an artistic departure in a few ways from their earlier body of work with Layne Staley, again quality is consistent throughout, and I can't name a bad album or a favorite album | | 9 | Converge
The true masters of metalcore, and they've been doin it for 20 years... | | 8 | Cannibal Corpse
Try 25 years of consistent! Hell, their stuff from the 80s is up to modern death metal standards, and they're still keepin up with the newest most popular extreme metal acts out on tour. | | 7 | Unearth
A lotta people might trash on The March for a slightly different style but nobody thrashes like these guys and they pull it off on every single record. | | 6 | Opeth
Again, different creative avenues but the same quality musicianship and songwriting althrough | | 5 | Isis
So Panopticon and Oceanic get a particular amount of attention in their catalog, but it's the same style they're been perpetrating their entire careers. I'd like to think that an uneducated listener couldn't tell which album each of a random selection of tracks came from | | 4 | Meshuggah
Earlier is more thrashy and speedy while Catch 33/Nothing-era Meshuggah is far more groove oriented with Obzen representing an excellent merge of the two, but they're never NOT delivered their wildly original mix of influences, rhythms, tones and textures on a record. | | 3 | Between the Buried and Me
Like Tool, the earlier material was heavier and the latter more proggy but they're quality through and through | | 2 | The Red Chord
So Clients was different from Fused Together in Revolving Doors, but still a sick album, and many songs from this record (escecially Black Santa and Antman) are monster songs in their live set. They took the same style and have continued to explore it more and more with Prey for Eyes and Fed Through the Teeth Machine | | 1 | Tool
Their older material is more visceral and their latter more prog, but overall in quality I can't pick a weak album | |

12.01.10 | not bad. i was gonna say maiden, but then i remembered the 90's.... :(
| SirkSakaig
12.01.10 | As soon as I read the title, Tool was the first band that came to my mind. I believe System of a Down and Rage Against The Machine deserves a place on this list. | elephantREVOLUTION
12.01.10 | snap, forgot about system. they used to be my favorite band and i have a lot of trouble picking a favorite album by them. | fr33convict
12.01.10 | lol 8. But I agree with the rest. | Crimson Death
12.01.10 | Cannibal Corpse, Converge, Meshuggah and Opeth are extremely consistent. (Though I can't say CC is any good, the fans don't seem to complain though.) They've all had a lot of albums. I'd have to say Opeth is the most consistent though,they released some of the best material in the middle, but have progressed as musicians since, and keep on refreshing. | jambi93
12.01.10 | remove eight and three and i'll take this list seriously | kangaroopoo
12.01.10 | 1,3-6,9,10 yep
napalm death, neurosis, cult of luna, deftones, enslaved | wyankeif1337
12.01.10 | Isis really isn't all that consistent: they went from sludge to more buildup-focused post-metal to whatever was in their last 2 albums. | crowing51
12.01.10 | 8 is lol | illmitch
12.01.10 | opeth is prety consistent everything theyve made sucks | kangaroopoo
12.01.10 | taxi | qwe3
12.01.10 | 2,3,4,5,7,8 all suck | wyankeif1337
12.01.10 | Agalloch | Zanders
12.01.10 | Opeth's first two albums had an extremely different style.
Also, Isis were quite different on their albums before Oceanic. Oceanic also had more of the sludge from their previous albums. | InFiction
12.01.10 | This is a good list. I completely agree with 10, 9, 6, 5, 4 and 3.
The rest I haven't heard enough of to judge. | Spec
12.01.10 | Good list man. | DeafMetal
12.01.10 | Cannibal Corpse rules wtf. | seifer
12.01.10 | hell yeah AiC!!!!!! | Hawks
12.01.10 | Converge sucks and what I've heard from Tool sucks. Needs more Agalloch and Enslaved if you ask me. | Gyromania
12.01.10 | 10 is metal? news to me. | geng
12.01.10 | Wouldn't really call Alice In Chains metal, but you have Tool at 1 so I love you. | Neenahskater
12.01.10 | UNEARTH!!! GOT THAT ONE RIGHT | G3N3R1C
12.02.10 | I agree w/ 1, 5, 6, and 10. 8 sucks, havent heard enough albums from 3, 4, and 7 to comment on their careers as a whole. 9... i love the band, but No Heroes was too much of a step down from their previous 2 albums and kinda put a dent in their consistancy.
2 i'm just starting to get into. Only heard their first album so far, which i'm loving. I'm planning to listen to their albums in chronological order, but i've heard that Clients is definitely a step down... | Pankar95
12.08.10 | Katatonia should be there too, i think it should have more places than 10, bcs thre are many bands that should be there. Back to Katatonia now, every single album they have released until now is excellent, and their style and genre changes have never changed their sound to bad, as with many other bands that do the same, and all their material is very interesting. | ratowitz
12.13.10 | Despite what some of you believe Cannibal Corpse has indeed been consistent since forming almost 25 years ago. And yeah, Alice in Chains may not be metal, but they are obviously sludge and doom inspired.
Hawks, you're a closed minded retard. Qw3, same to you.
Great list. | DeafMetal
12.13.10 | Yeah dude, Sputnik hates Corpse but they rule so. | qwe3
12.13.10 | "Hawks, you're a closed minded retard. Qw3, same to you."
hahaha shut the fuck up. not liking bad music doesn't make me closed minded. it means i have good taste. go listen to cannibal corpse and keep telling yourself how consistent they are faggot | DeafMetal
12.13.10 | Qwe, :( | Pyosisified
