Get ready for a journey through the heavy metal landscape, where we explore the bands that have left an indelible mark and the reasons why their return would be a dream come true for many fans.
The 15 Metal Bands We Long to See Reunite
Angelcorpse: This band's brand of lightning-fast death metal is a force to be reckoned with. Their 1998 album, "Exterminate," featuring the legendary drumming of John Longstreth, is a must-listen. Imagine the impact of their reunion and the new heights they could reach!
Arsis: Here's a band that's left us hanging. With their last full-length album, "Visitant," released in 2018, and their last show in 2019, Arsis has left a void in the melodic death metal scene. Could they be the ones to bring back that unique American sound?
Blotted Science: A supergroup featuring members of Cannibal Corpse, Watchtower, and Alkaloid, Blotted Science released just one album and an EP before fading into silence. Their unique blend of technical prowess and creativity deserves a second chance.
Bolt Thrower: A band that left us too soon. After the unexpected death of their drummer, Martin Kearns, Bolt Thrower quietly disbanded. While a reunion seems unlikely, it's a dream that many fans hold onto.
Burning Inside: Featuring the talented Richard Christy on drums, Burning Inside released two stellar albums and an incredible demo. Their technical death metal prowess is a treat for any metalhead.
Dead in the Dirt: This Atlanta-based grind band released one album, "The Blind Hole," that was so intense it left fans wanting more. What happened to Dead in the Dirt? A reunion would be the perfect way to find out!
Every Time I Die: A reunion of this band would be a wild ride. Despite the members' various projects, can you imagine the energy and excitement of an ETID reunion show? It's a fantasy that keeps fans going.
Faith No More: A story of frustration and loss. With tour cancellations and a full-year hiatus, Faith No More's absence has been felt. Will they ever recover and grace us with their presence again?
In Solitude: Before occult rock became a major trend, In Solitude was leading the way. Their three critically acclaimed albums are a testament to their talent. Could a reunion be on the horizon, bringing back that unique sound?
Kyuss: Despite hints from Josh Homme, Kyuss has yet to reunite since their 1995 breakup. With festival offers pouring in, will they finally give in to the temptation and grace us with their presence?
Necrophagist: My annual complaint about Necrophagist's absence is a tradition. Their unique brand of death metal is sorely missed.
Repugnant: Ghost's Tobias Forge used to front this incredible death metal band. Their only record, "Epitome of Darkness," is a masterpiece. Imagine the impact of a Forge-led death metal reunion!
Skeletonwitch: This band's disappearance is a mystery. After lineup changes and a period of silence, Skeletonwitch left fans wondering. A reunion would be a welcome surprise.
Sleep: With an on-again, off-again history, Sleep's status is always a question mark. Their live shows and the recent firing of drummer Jason Roeder add to the intrigue. Will they continue their journey, or is it time for a well-deserved rest?
Trap Them: A true American metal powerhouse, Trap Them's unique blend of hardcore punk and death metal is unparalleled. Their melodic structures are nothing short of mind-bending. A reunion would be a triumph for the genre.
And there you have it, a list of metal bands that have left an impact and the reasons why their return would be a cause for celebration. But here's the controversial part: Do you think these bands will ever reunite? Share your thoughts and let's discuss!
