!T.O.O.H.! (they are back together but guitarist/bassist Humanoid has health problems preventing him from performing competently live and doesn't want to exist as a studio project so Democratic Solution will be their last album)
Death
Hendrix
The Doors
Windir (smurf you blizzard)
Nasum (smurf you tsunami)
Akercocke
The Beatles
Tom Lehrer
Isis
Sacramentum
R.E.M.
Insect Warfare
The Mars Volta
At the Drive-In (yes I know they're back together but they're not going to make new material. smurf.)
Emperor (although at least Ihsahn is making similar music to their later stuff in his solo career)
Peccatum
Lurker of Chalice
Frank Zappa (yes I know he had an absolute troutload of releases but it's still not enough :()
Weakling
Nagelfar
Joy Division
Dissection
Mr. Bungle (although I've heard rumours they might reunite)
Rage Against the Machine (smurf your live-only bulltrout, we need new songs already)
Estatic Fear (supposedly he is working on new material but smurf knows when we'll see it)
Lux Occulta (same deal as with Estatic Fear, except it's more than a one-man band)
Beastie Boys
I could go on. It's probably not a surprise that more than half of these are underground metal bands. Underground metal bands seem to have a more difficult time staying together as it's not a particularly lucrative style to perform.
I forgot ATDI were back together. Why won't they make new stuff. Omar :argh:
Lost Horizon, their only 2 albums with Daniel Heiman were probably some of the greatest to ever exist in metal.
A lot of bands I would mention were part of the NWOBHM movement that just never "made it" and split up before they could really become great then alas, terrible in old age.
Nah, Omar and Cedric don't like each other anymore. No more ATDI or tMV.Quote:

It's been forever since Epitaph and I haven't even heard much in the past couple years. I don't think they've broken up, just that they're dicking around or something. >:[Quote:

Lykathea Aflame fans have been even more patient than Wintersun and Necrophagist fans :monster: Lux Occulta and Estatic Fear are other examples of bands that have taken even longer than Necrophagist :monster:
I'm super impatient. I was getting pretty upset about Time not coming out, especially since I was actually following all the updates. At least that one turned out great. I can't imagine waiting over a decade for new material. :(
Yeah, Time is great. I want part two now :(
They weren't up to the standard of the first four, but I'm sure they'll still be better than anything either of them does on their own :colbert:Quote:

Totally agree. It was just sad to look forward to an album for all that time and then it be a disappointment. At least I don't have anything more than a vague interest in their solo stuff.
To be honest I wasn't terribly disappointed by either Octahedron or Noctourniquet because the descriptions Omar and Cedric gave before the albums were released led me not to expect much. What sucks is they seem to have lost interest in doing the crazy psychedelic prog they were doing at the beginning of TMV's existence and there are far too few artists performing that style competently right now so TMV will be horribly missed. :<
Both albums were a waste of exceptionally good drummers's talents. At least I never get sick of the first 4 albums.
