I'm not a Stuck Mojo fan but if one were to ever to like rap metal, they were the rap metal band to like back in the late 90s. They were the real deal and have credibility within the metal community. They definitely belong on the cruise IMO. Moreso than Devildriver and Amaranthe. I can't believe Ama...
I am wildly disappointed in the Arch Enemy news. I don't mind the Agonist or Alissa, but this just sucks. I'd much rather have Liiva back (even though he's mostly horrible as a vocalist)

Swallow the Sun and November's Doom are semi-similar Moog. Also, Swallow the Sun are 10x better than November's Doom. StS are probably the best Doom/Death band on the planet right now.
Unearth is a great band to have on board. Fun dudes. Kind of starting to fall off the map, but The Oncoming Storm and Stings of Conscience are killer metalcore albums.
There are usually only 2-3 bands that have sets over 60 min, yes? Carcass will be 1. Death To All will be 2. Maybe Fear Factory since they are doing a special Demanu set. Symphony X would play BEFORE Kamelot in the U.S. and Kamelot is a 60 min band on this cruise. I agree Overkill is as well, but Ov...
I know you guys love your Symphony X but they are not as big as: Carcass / Fear Factory / Death To All / Overkilll (Tier A) Symphony X / The Haunted / Dark Tranquillity / Soilwork / Obituary (Tier B) Satyricon / Death Angel / Cynic / Finntroll / Swallow the Sun / Orphaned Land (Tier C) Fintroll / Sa...
I think you are absolutely crazy if do not do the evening restaurant everyday. There should be a decent gap for you to grab food in the dinner window. It's EASILY the best food on board. I don't know about you guys, I'd rather have a steak 3 course meal than shitty pizza. Quality of life folks. Rest...
This Izegrim stuff is hilarious. Do the Amott brothers get kickbacks from this band's material? They should at least dye the singers hair to a different color and add like 3 seconds of clean vocals to make it not so fucking obvious. m Congrats from them getting on the cruise though. Andy is obsessed...
Laura, I can't get over the fact that you just listened to Pantera for like the first time. That blows my mind. I see absolutely no purpose to start listening to Manowar other than........ nope can't even think of a reason :) I'll see you at Amon Amarth or Moonspell in Feb (not sure which one I'm go...
They've toured the U.S. 3 times in the last year so I wouldn't get too excited. They just headlined a tour here like last month. They don't really need the exposure.
Love The Haunted but have seen them 3-4 times. Awesome that Marco's back. Will wait for their U.S. Tour run. Their S/T release is one of the best debut albums EVER.
I'm not going this year, but I would feel bad for all you that prepaid for everything. I actually do think it's cancelled. You don't even know where you're going yet. That kind of has to be planned WAY in advance..........
I'm probably out this year. I can just go see Carcass and Dark Tranquillity / Omnium Gatherum tours in the U.S for like 20 dollars each. Already saw the Soilwork tour. Would love to see StS play 2 one hour sets, but that sure isn't worth 2K. I may grab one of the last doubles if it doesn't sell out,...
If this had some younger more aggressive prog like BtBAM, Protest the Hero, Tesseract, The Ocean and other stuff like Cynic, Devin Townsend, Fates Warning, Arch Matheos, Orphaned Land, new version of Queensryche etc..... I would absolutely go to this. This is too old man fest for me. (not that I'm y...
That Wintersun tour got cancelled here and is getting downgraded venues in other locations. Big bummer for them. Recently did Rockstar Mayhem and just did Baroness / Royal Thunder last night. Love both of those bands. Really interesting to get metal + rock fan mix. Rock fans just don't get us at sho...
Gotta finish it off with Megadeth/Slayer/Mastodon. Favorite bands of all time. Megadeth 1. Holy Wars 2. Hangar 18 3. Peace Sells 4. Five Magics 5. Good Mourning Black Friday 6. In My Darkest Hour 7. Tornado of Souls 8. My Last Words 9. Hook In Mouth 10. Captive Honour 11. Ashes In Your Mouth Slayer ...
Soilwork (last one I can really do on cruise cause I only know 4 Kamelot albums and the list would just look like Black Halo) 1. Chainheart Machine 2. As We Speak 3. Needlefeast 4. Neurotica Rampage 5. Nerve 6. The Live Infinite Part 2 7. Spirits of the Future Son 8. Shadowchild 9. Room No. 99 10. S...
Dark Tranquillity: (mine is close to other guy who posted) 1. Punish My Heaven 2. Hours Passed In Exile 3. Indifferent Suns 4. The Endless Feed 5. Lost to Apathy 6. The Sun That Fired Blanks 7. Insanity's Crescendo 8. Cathode Ray Sunshine 9. Doberrman 10. On Your Time 11. White Noise Black Silence
1. The Giant 2. Deadly Nightshade 3. Out Of This Gloomy Night 4. Swallow (toughest track to choose) 5. Lights on the Lake 6. New Moon 7. Labyrinth in London 8. Doom to Walk the Earth 9. April 14th
Looking at the bands I can do here and I would choose different. Fear Factory. 1. Demanufacture 2. Self Bias Resistor 3. Scapegoat 4. Replica 5. Descent 6. Dog Day Sunrise 7. Bite The Hand That Bleeds (not great choices) 8. Scumgrief 9. Resurrection 10. Pisschrist 11. ?????????????????? 12. Self Imm...
