Okay. I can see many bands from many different metal genres that fit that mold, but if anything it's the bands that are pushing the fusion of sounds that don't follow trends of fashion or sound by default.

Also, just because a band's sound fits into a popular genre doesn't automatically mean they're doing it because it's the latest trend. Many of the groups play a certain sound because they love that sound. They've been at it for years, and even if no one like what they were doing they'd still do it.

In fact what many refer to as the glory days of metal, the '80s, had some of the biggest douche-rocket, in it for the money and the babes, no sound of our own, clone bands I've ever scene. That's something that has always been there, and will never go away.
