But those bands, like Bathory and Celtic Frost, I see as being much more individualistic. They weren't part of some black metal movement like the thrash and DM bands were. Thrash and death metal evolved much more by committee than black metal did. Black metal evolved because of a few fringe weirdos. One or two bands going under for whatever reason, or deciding that they could make more money by just playing straight thrash or hair metal or whatever may very well have doomed the entire black metal genre to extinction.
