Modern evolution of many of the older 'genre leading' bands have had a vast change in sound, and by many - and most of the times, even the band - are no longer considered black metal. Such examples include Mayhem's career that began mostly in the death/black roots, moved to almost pure black, then towards death again in their late career.
Also, Behemoth who started off as black metal, moved to a hybrid of black metal AND death metal, known as Blackened Death Metal, and with their newest release, Demigod, now play pure, brutal Death Metal.
