Why? Bands evolve and the sound changes, sometimes for the better most times not. A lot of bands and musicians don't know when to stop when they're creatively drained. Immolation is one of my favorite bands but the time frame I specified they were writing their best material, the newer material is still good but what made them a favorite of mine was their 90's and very early 2000's catalog.

Yeah, if it weren't for the fact that getting too granular is tedious to read, I think everything should include that caveat. Virtually nobody stays consistently good for their career.

Yeah, just the best / heaviest riffing black metal or death metal I could think of yesterday. I was going for a medieval theme with some of the bands, but some of them fell outside my top 10 so I didn't mention it. Usually I'd be throwing in trash and grindcore too.
