Reforming bands

[Ben_t]

What's going on with the reformation of just about all the old school death metal bands lately. Are they all trying to profit from the current trend of old school death revival (started a while back but still...)?

Is anyone really excited about these reformations? What are your expectations? What is the next band to reform?

Just from the top of my head, these bands reformed recently (or somewhat recently):

Asphyx
Pestilence
Desultory
Seance
Miasma
Atheist
Goddefied
Divine Eve
Autopsy
Necrovore
Brutality (though I think it was only briefly)
Unanimated

And I'm probably missing some...

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Not complaining really, pretty much all those bands are totally awesome.

Interment. can't wait for a fullength

 

[SweptbackFlame]

I want Centinex to reform

 

[Slayed Necros]

Add Crypt of Kerberos to the list.

I'm not particularly hopeful that any of these bands will release something of really high quality (although the new Goddefied samples I heard were pretty fucking awesome) but in most cases I'm still interested to see what they come up with. From what I've heard the new Seance seems alright.

When you realize that every piece of music you've written for the last 15 years is crap, there's only one thing to do: write MORE crap and attach your old band's name to it... you know, that band that people actually cared about. Maybe then somebody will listen. I guess it's not such a bad way to enjoy your mid-life crisis.

Just stoked to see them at the fest.
Don't care if they release anything.

I'm hoping for a new full length from Autopsy... Horrific Obsession made my day when I heard it.

 

[CF87]

Add Crypt of Kerberos to the list.

Can't say I give a shit. World of Myths had 1,2 great songs and the prior demo's and sound was much better(WOM has pussy guitar tone).

Goddefied and Interment seem like the most promising.

 

[Crapples]

More Divine Eve can only be a good thing. Hopefully.

When will Gorguts reform? And I don't mean that approximation, Negativa. While Negativa have some interesting stuff it's just not Gorguts.

There's actually a rumor that Gorguts did reform and are recording something, but it's still just a rumor.

I'm not really complaining either as I like pretty much all the bands I named.

But on the other hand, I'm not really expecting much in terms of quality new releases (if they release something new instead of just doing live performance(s) like Demilich).

Rarely have I heard any band reform after like 15 years and recreate what made them enjoyable back then. To me it always seems like there's something missing...

Still it's somewhat interesting to see what these reformed bands can/will do. But personnaly I'd rather have these bands old material made easily obtainable than have them release sub par new music.

I can't think of too many "comeback" albums by any band at any time which have held up against their classic period.

A Coroner reformation would make me very happy.

 

[youdontknowme]

A Coroner reformation would make me very happy.

me too. and when are those Desultory albums getting reissued?

Where did you read this?

I don't even remember specifically, but I've heard it more than a few times within the last several months. It could easily be false.
