I for Iced Earth Ihsahn Immortal Incantation Inferi In Flames, 20 year anniversary of Clayman? Ingested Insomnium A Clayman set?

Man, I haven't listened to these guys since before Alyssa left them... any advice on where to start with their new vocalist? My advice is, don’t. They are pretty bad imo. Not much better live either. Saw them open for Fleshgod Apocalypse and they were awful Same here, that’s pretty much what I was ...

Metal archives has nothing.

Anyone know anything about this band?

Metal Archives probably has nothing because this band probably doesn't qualify as metal to them.

They are definitely 100% progressive metal...

Yeah, it’s Martin Lopez’s (Ex-Opeth drummer) band. Prog Metal.

I mean, Moonsorrow is considered to be in the ‘big 5’ of Finnish folk metal, so I would prob place them there. Although they do have a heavy black metal influence in their sound. I hate labeling a band by where they're from. I mean, folk metal is huge in Finland, so people think every popular band ...

Well, current genre-breakdown (of course open to debate) is: Death Metal - Aborted - Aeter Realm - At the Gates - Einherjer - Origin - Wintersun Folk/Power/Symphonic Metal - Cruachan - Trollfest - Epica - Leaves eyes - Haggard Doom Metal - Candlemass Heavy Metal - Archon Angel - Grave Digger - Kiss...

I could be wrong, but looking back at previous lineups, it seems like the ‘cripper contender’ type bands like Gyze, etc. almost never repeat. It seems like Andy cycles bigger names in and out and then peppers the lineup with smaller name first timers every year. Disagree. Twilight Force - small nam...

Agreed. And Gyze has a new album out, or coming out SOOOON, with a decent promotional push (I think through Skateboard).

Further updates. I don't think there is any argument that both latest additions with get 45 minutes. At the moment we have 2 x 75 (and 1 special set), 6 x 60, and 11 x 45. Comparing to 2019 we can possibly expect one more headliner, perhaps 8 more worthy of 60 minutes and the rest 45 minute-ers. Wh...

Gatecreeper would be great, as would Gloson or Gyze. Especially Gyze. Those dudes were amazing in 2018. Agreed. And Gyze has a new album out, or coming out SOOOON, with a decent promotional push (I think through Skateboard). I could be wrong, but looking back at previous lineups, it seems like the ...

yea there are a lot of As in a row, which seems weird. But then again, there are a lot of A bands. 7 in 2015 and 8 in 2017 Have they ever all been announced in a row like this? I remember right at the start of 2017 they opened with a run of straight "A"'s, I think it included Anthrax, Amaranthe, An...

This "A" thing seems like they're teasing a big band... Amon Amarth has my bet, even if they're not the next band, they'll be the last "A" They did the same thing to start announcements for round 7. First 4 bands were ‘A’ and everyone thought they were teasing Amon Amarth. We ended up getting Amara...

Didn't we say that we have one for the history books? Well, we do! 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise, is excited to announce an Exclusive World Premiere onbroad, namely the very first live shows by Zak Stevens’ (ex-Savatage, ex-Trans Siberian Orchestra, Circle...

Keep in mind that AA were supposed to be the final band announced for 2016. I take that to mean he must have been satisfied enough with the rate of cabin sales without having to pull that ace from his sleeve until the very end. Plus it’s a nice loyalty reward for those vets who constantly book as s...

Could it be...at last...AMON AMARTH????? Sure...but you'd think he'd have busted them out a while ago. Gotta sell those empty staterooms! Keep in mind that AA were supposed to be the final band announced for 2016. I take that to mean he must have been satisfied enough with the rate of cabin sales w...

Also possible - Andy's latest health troubles have resulted in his doctors telling him not to work long hours or on weekends. Hence few bands outside of Vancouver working hours. I mean, he's not building a railroad here. Presumably, hes just giving the all-clear for someone to make a social media p...

So, unless I’m mistaken, we have just as many bands left to announce as we have week days until the cruise. With seemingly no announcements being made over weekends, I wonder if the plan was to get to this position and announce one band a day (excluding weekends) until the cruise? Certainly there i...

Who knows, maybe CoB was the next band to announce, and they are scrambling for a plan ‘C’ to replace them?

He’s headlining Bloodstock at equal footing with JUDAS PRIEST and BEHEMOTH (one night each), so I’d say 75mn too. Keep in mind that only 14 bands have been confirmed to play Bloodstock. Not that DT isn’t worthy of a headline spot, but there are plenty of bands to be announced including more big nam...

This softens the blow of having to miss Amon Amarth tonight. Moonsorrow is a bucket list band for me and the fact that they're given 70 minutes to play my favorite album made my day. My forum nickname is actually inspired by "Jotunheim" from that same album. :cheers: 10/10 will cry during this set....

I'm really curious what Emperor will end up playing, because they only really have 4 albums, and they rarely play too much off their last 2 albums. They've been playing Anthems live in it's entirety a lot recently, and they have played Nightside Eclipse in it's entirety in the past. What do we thin...

Sadly both Sunday and Monday tend to be no announcement days ,along with the fact Black cards are either going or they are not.At this point it is just a matter of do they want to keep their streak going ,bands don’t even matter to them and there aren’t enough of them to make a big dent in sales.Ma...

For the first 5 bands does this seem lackluster? Besides Emporer, seems kind of meh. Plus only 5 bands so far with one being known for a couple months. I don't know, maybe it's just me. This all feels pretty calculated to me. They had to start sales next week, and therefore they had to start giving...

The first announcement is always a headliner who has never been on before, Oh OK. Didn't know that. Fingers crossed. I mean, it's not a real rule, just an observation that has always held true. Andy could break it whenever he wants. It hasn’t always held true, just the past 4 cruises (including thi...

Lovebites? That would be cool :P Lagerstein? Too 'unknown' for this early? Lacuna Coil and Leaves Eyes maybe way too 'samey' for this soon as we already have Haggard and Epica... Too unknown? I think we all expected the first 10 to be 60+ minute set bands, but we’ve gotten Origin and Einherjer in t...

Also, do we consider this the Megathread?

I don’t think so. I just commented in a different post and it bumped it to the top.

I honestly don’t see them doing something during the MegaCruise,and give everyone a chance to get back home as well. Or tomorrow morning, as people are disembarking, and longing for a better cruise experience where shows don't get shut down by the police. police? Some inside info?? People on Megacr...

How many sailors are also going through some 'mental' health issues?
All of us!

Indeed.

It's now over a week since this was posted, and what have we ACTUALLY got? ACTUAL NEW stuff.

A logo.

A day 4 recap.

*golf. clap*

Hey, it’s not just any logo! It’s.... it’... a green X!

Rapidly losing interest in this. I last mentioned I was about 85% still in. Then the Skip message came out. Recap vids, what a waste of time sitting through those one day at a time. Like, c'mon already, get on with it. Now, I thought for sure like 99% of us, we get bands today. Hours ago.... If not...

They were on a roll. Four recap videos in 4 days, all at the same time and today!

NOTHING

It was actually 5 days in a row. They did the preparty video on Friday. I bet you they were watching their servers overload at 5:00 today, laughing their asses off.

Well "last festival in a while" could still mean that they're going to play on the 70k SOON. I wouldn't rule them out due to this post. The cruise is 3 months away. Why would they say “last festival in a while” if their next festival appearance is mere months away? Does “in a while” mean something ...

Full Speed Ahead!!!” 70k has never foreshadowed band announcements or booking codes,news is news and that could be anything from promos to a further explanation for the delay.In fact this all but rules out anything important this w...
