Don't worry, they're sending them out now. I just got mine about 15 minutes ago.

Need a death metal band among the Cripper candidates. My vote goes for Dawn of Disease as the "D" band from Europe. Would love to fucking see those guys live. Worship the Grave was one of my favorite albums from last year!

That is what we expect now m Not surprising you wouldn't find Cryptex on Metal Archives....have you heard these guys! Not saying they're terrible or anything but how did this get booked on a metal cruise https://cryptex1.bandcamp.com/album/good-morning-how-did-you-live UPDATE....actually....after l...

Trap Them as the North American T band would fucking rule! I've got a feeling the C is going to be Cut-Up (which would make me pretty happy as well!)

Amon Amarth as the final announcement (I think Andy has a big surprise like this up his sleeve.....even better would be a Hypocrisy announcement during the beach party!) I'm afraid you're setting yourself up for a big disappointment... I'm so used to disappointment at this stage in my life that I h...

Doubt we're getting a big name in this spot. I think Elder would make a nice addition to the lineup!

Memoriam would be an amazing addition! Closest we'll ever get to having Bolt Thrower onbroad. With regards to the Pyramid Lounge discussion from earlier, I agree it's the shittiest of all the venues unless you can get there a bit early and get up close. Seeing a bucketlist big name band like Vader l...

So pumped to be seeing Cattle Decapitation onbroad!!!! If the "Stay Tu"N"ed" part is actually a hint then the only thing I can think of would be Nasty Savage.....the frontman was known for smashing television sets over his head during live shows I'm perfectly fine with the lineup...

I'm also having a hard time coming up with a definitive top 10 and there is no chance in hell that I'd be able to put them in order, so here is my top 10 in no particular order with a few honorable mentions as well.

Somehow I'm just discovering Svart Crown for the first time ever. Really hoping that the rumors of them being added to 70K this year end up being true!!

I'll just mention the ones that I haven't seen mentioned yet. You can't go wrong with almost anything by Unleashed, good Death/Viking metal with some thrashy elements, here's their latest album Dawn of the Nine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAjCsuUH7sg Revocation are awesome too, nice mix of tech....

Last Show: In Flames and Hellyeah last night
Next Show: Children of Bodom and Abbath tomorrow

Can you ever have to much Swedish Death Metal?

The answer to this question is NO! Unequivocally NO!! More Swedish Death Metal is ALWAYS more better!

You know those albums where you hear the first song and it is so fantastic that you automatically five star each remaining song as it comes up on your iPod... yeah this is one of those albums. Doom in the vein of a slightly faster Pallbearer... http://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0971559505_10.jpg Loved thei...

Cancelled our 70K double cabin and I've decided to transfer my booking into a cheaper quad cabin and go solo! Really glad you decided to make it. I'm sure all the drinking and sleep deprivation will be good for you! If you recognize me, come say hi, I'll buy you a beer or 5. Drinking and sleep depr...

Hopefully when the dust settles you'll be happy with where you are in life and what I experienced was an eye-opening moment. - realising how much I'd been compromising over the years to please her & other people. As you move on through the next few months / years, you'll hopefully be much more ...

A friend turned me onto these guys the other day. Really digging this album, some good death/viking metal, very Amon Amarth'ish but with some awesome folk elements going on too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TecfllPjhEw http://shop.season-of-mist.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/500x500/9df...

Still crossing my fingers that Amon Amarth...the hinting at the beginning of the announcement process was just too much to bear. Anthrax, followed by the clue "next one will also start with the letter A..." Amorphis, followed by the clue "next one is also from a Nordic country and sta...

Some pretty decent death/doom right here. \m/

Well I hastily cancelled all our our hotels and flights a couple weeks ago but after giving it some thought I've decided that I'm still going to go to 70K solo. Haven't heard anything back about my cancellation at the Clevelander though....phoned them today and they can't find any record of my reser...

Just got turned on to this amazing album from Norway's Execration. Check this out if you like Tribulation, Morbus Chron, or Horrendous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u_wJIbHFMk https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3902583295_16.jpg This is fucking awesome!

:( I went through the same thing pretty recently. Divorce ended up being a very positive change for me. Hope you are able to get to a better place soon, whether that means counseling or a permanent split. Thanks man, everything is still pretty fresh and there are still up and downs but overall I'm ...

My fucking marriage just fell apart......have to cancel 70K now...

Statsman was kind enough to provide us with all of the running orders throughout the years. http://70000tons.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4963 The 2015 and 2016 lineup's are the ones with 60 bands so they will give you the best idea of what to expect. There is a small window from like 6am to 10...

Last Gig: Necronomicon/Carach Angren/Rotting Christ last night (sucked that Marduk couldn't make it...good thing I'll get to see them in a few more months anyways )

Next Gig: Æther Realm/Nekrogoblikon/Alestorm next month

Panzerfaust. Its Black metal done how it should be. Hell of a stage show too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kti6soyL3w4

I've seen this band listed as openers over the years on shows but I've never actually checked them out until just now. All I have to say is...Holy shit, those guys are fucking good! Thanks for the recommendation!

Fred Etsby is talking about a Dismember reunion. Nothing at all is set in stone yet but it sounds like most of the band is pretty open to doing some reunion shows sometime in the future. http://www.invisibleoranges.com/interview-fred-estby-dismember-2/ Highly doubtful that 70K 2017 would be possible...

I wouldn't hold my breath on Primordial being that next "P" announcement. Alan did an AMA on Reddit yesterday and someone asked him if Primordial would be open to playing 70K someday. His answer was about as close to "NO" as you can get. "ok so we get asked every year and co...

Cool idea for a thread! Here's a couple of my local favorites. Profaner - Melodic Death/Thrash Metal from Hamilton, Ontario. These guys just represented Canada and finished as runners up in the Wacken Metal Battle this year. Been a big fan of these guys for a few years, it's great to see them gettin...
