And there were a substantial number of both, though that's perhaps unsurprising for rock and metal fans. We're used to several of our favorite bands breaking up or going dormant, only to reunite later.
But it certainly keeps things exciting, right? A prominent rock or metal band might call it quits, but an equally important band could reunite the same year. It's the circle of life.
