Well, I don't know about Opeth, but Napalm Death today have absolutely nothing to do with the original Napalm Death. They WERE a hardcore punk band with metal influences, now they are a pretty straight up death metal band, so I think that what was originally Napalm Death is "no longer a band", and now you've just got a group that happens to share the same name and history.
