Comebacks are greeted with excitement and trepidation. Albums released after a band break-up can either send bands into the heavenly stratosphere or the basements of hell. I'm compiling the former. To qualify for the list a band has to have officially broken up, regrouped and released an album of new original material. Releases after a period of studio inactivity or a string of weaker albums don't count so no Death Magnetic, Worship Music, Formation of Damnation, Brave New World or Angel of Retribution. My list, my rules okay?

1.Faith No More - Sol Invictus

2.Septicflesh - Communion

3.Celtic Frost - Monotheist

4.Heaven And Hell - The Devil You Know
