As a starting point, some bands tend to have a very different style before they become really popular and well known, so what's a band that hinged their potential future career on something really risky? For me, I'd have to say Boris did with Absolutego. That they started with dark, fuzzy and low-fi drone doom that gives your speakers an unprecedented workout, and that it was one hour long track with fifteen minutes of squealing feedback at the end, I'd say that's about as risky a career starter as you can get. Yet, look at them now. By the way, Absolutego is still possibly my favorite album from them, but it's a very specific taste.

Maybe not as daring, but "Slow, Deep and Hard" by Type O Negative is quite a different sounding album compared to the rest of their discography and a very unique album in it�s own right. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Oh, I didn't see the "debut"-part. I just saw "risky".

That Type O' album you mention, isn't it like a transition from Carnivore to Type O?

Decidedly not that risky, but Darkthrone's Soulside Journey. A better example might be Blut aus Nord's Ultima Thulee and the enthralling atmospheric wintry black metal that they never did replicate. -------------

Maybe not, there's no 'risk' when you already know what is gonna happen Nonetheless, Soul of a New Machine, Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing, and perhaps Show No Mercy are, IMO, the most audacious debuts ever. ------------- Why is six afraid of seven? Because seven ate nine. |

You can say that, but it�s far more original than the Carnivore stuff. Call it progressive hardcore/doom metal or something like that   ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Mr. Bungle is a crazy album. I just went back and relistened to Corrupted's (also Japanese like Boris) Paso Inferior, and I'll include that as an honorable mention. Any band that sings in guttural spanish while being Japanese and playing a 41 minute sonic dirge of feedback and heavy as heavy gets sludge is definitely making a niche effort.

| Maybe Mate.Kill.Feed.Repeat. by Slipkont, very different from their later albums. |
