From, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn to Atom Heart Mother, there is too much difference and even more to meddle, from psychedelic Rock to Prog Rock, damn King Crimson really change a lot of bands.

Another example but i don't know if counts, Miles Davis sound from the late 50's to late 60's and 70's was really different (Jazz fusion).

The post right before yours was in response to a post about Pink Floyd.

Opeth went from Swedish death metal to prog rock. Love it, their last few albums are awesome.

Mortiis went through some changes.

Played with Emperor, then onto this. https://youtu.be/yrAXLzD74tM

And then onto this: https://youtu.be/px63XqYTLPw

And then he got industrial: https://youtu.be/0rQZxpAhG28

Not to dramatic when you can see the progression, but quite a leap from Emperor to era 1 to the current sound.

Damn, you beat me to it!

Canadian national treasure (and one of my all-time favourite bands) Propagandhi.

Went from a pretty generic NOFX-ish pop-punk band to effortlessly mixing thrash, prog and punk into beautiful music. The change is just astounding and it is very hard to believe it's the same band.

They openly insult their early stuff too so they are very self-aware.

The Offspring was the first band that came to mind. I really liked Smash and Inxnay but when Americana came out I hated the new ultra poppy sound.

Vangelis when he was part of Aphrodite's Child he composed together with someone else the entirety of 666 and these days does mostly modern classic with his latest album Rosetta being another example of him doing that.

In all fairness, he has done some ridiculous amounts of different genres, but I'm personally disappointed that he never returned to the more rough and experimental style that he always used to have. Earth, Spiral, Mask, Oceanic, Blade Runner and more. They're all so different from each other, but going through his work in order does show a very clear line of him working his way towards where he is today.

Nah. I mean, I know it's common to think shrieked vocals = "blackened", but it's still not even that shrieky, and outside of vocals, there's pretty much nothing "blackened" about it.
I'll give you that, there might be at least a hint of the influence from 90's Norwegian BM (though incredibly minor, it's more a generic "Scandinavian sound" so to speak, not really black metal itself, but I admit they're often confused/unfairly lumped together), at least, unlike in, say, Tristania or Sepultura. xD

Compared to the doom/death of the period, they had more similarities to the black metal sound for my ear.

Either way, metal subgenres...meh! There's only one subgenre for Katatonia and that's Fucking awesome!
