When two or more members of a band depart for a fresh start, the results are usually a new band with its own identity that shares heavy DNA with its origins. We’re not talking about side projects or renamed bands, but brand new entities. Check out our A-B comparisons of bands from the ashes of other bands, including Crumbsuckers and Pro-Pain; Fallout and Type O Negative; Death and Massacre; Pantera and Damageplan; and more. Trace the metal family tree, and know your Roooootttsssss!
