The return of two bands that were thought to be long gone

As if we still had more to celebrate after a couple special Metal Academy milestones yesterday, two bands I thought would be gone forever have returned to play live or release a new album, both announced today!

God Forbid is one of my favorite metalcore bands, but they split up in 2013. They've just announced their first concert in 9 years, the upcoming September 2022 Blue Ridge Rock Festival. Since another American metalcore band Shadows Fall plan to make their first album since their reunion concert, I hope God Forbid would do the same as well. However, we don't know how guitarist Doc Coyle would keep up with his current band Bad Wolves.

The Gathering is a band that I've once enjoyed 5 years ago. They started as gothic death-doom but switched to alt-prog rock. After a hiatus, a surprise compilation, and a few years of live performances, they're all set to release their first album in 9 years, Beautiful Distortion. Sadly, I think their alt-prog-rock sound will remain...

Any thoughts on those two bands' comebacks or any bands you wish would reform? Discuss!
