SONIC SYNDICATE

I'd be totally happy if the remaining 29 bands were all power metal

Honestly, at this point, the only band I'm really hoping gets on this ship is Kamelot.

EDIT:
Turisas is my second favorite band (after Sonata Arctica) and would be a huge outside shot (I think they'll be recording a new album at this time). I've seen them a few times already and they put on the best live show every time out. My friend and I will get painted up this whole cruise if Turisas gets on the boat.

by **longhairedaaron** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 1:41 am

Dude!!! Go to progpowerusa.com

I think this year will be the 4th time they have played that festival! At least the 3rd time and I have seen them many, many times! Kamelot rules, but they are like "house" band status to me at ths point

by **militant_x** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 7:13 am

more power metal: Blind Guardian
more prog: Dreamtheater, Opeth, Symphony X, Cynic
more death metal: Obscura

black metal, melodic death metal, technical metal, progressive metal, and whatever Diablo Swing Orchestra is.
I really like how the lineup is taking shape.

cmon 70000 tons, book Blind Guardian and Iced Earth, and you get demons and wizards for free.

and bring some crazy Canadians. Unexpect and Augury

by **Lumbergh** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 1:42 pm

well, I haven;t bought a ticket yet but am seriously considering after some more bands are announced.

I think some quality Death Metal, Black Metal, and Folk Metal bands are definitely needed and would do nicely.

suggestions:

Death Metal:
Morbid Angel, Nile, Septic Flesh, Vader, Behemoth, Hypocrisy, Obituary, Amorphis, Napalm Death, Dark Tranquillity, Opeth, Cynic, etc

Black Metal
Immortal, Vried, Absu, Wolves In The Throne Room, Mayhem, Watain, Mayhem, Marduk, Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon, etc.

Folk Metal:
Korpiklaani, Eluveitie, Turisas, Moonsorrow, Blackguard, Alestorm, Tyr, Kivimetsan Druidi, etc.

also,

Sludge/Southern Metal:
Crowbar, Corrosion Of conformity, Withered, Zoroaster, Kylesa, Clutch, Torch, etc.

Thrash Metal:
Evile, Skeletonwitch, Kreator, etc.

Power Metal:
Nevermore, Rhapsody, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, etc.

some of these bands have rapid followers, but would also like to throw in Devin Townsend, Mastodon, In Flames, Children Of Bodom, Immortal, etc. any bands like that would be a huge draw I think.

by **TOM CRUISE** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 2:13 pm

Death Metal- Suffocation, Krisiun, Vader, Morbid Angel, Bloodbath, Destroyer 666

Black Metal- Immortal, Watain, Dark Funeral, Marduk, Mayhem, VENOM!

Power Metal- Rage, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Kamelot, Blind Guardian,

Thrash Metal- Destruction, Kreator, Tankard, Assassin

Hard Rock/Heavy Metal- Motorhead, The Devil's Blood, The Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater,

Folk Metal- None please

by **RevWhite** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 6:59 pm

Cradle of Filth, Opeth, Dimmu Borgir, Man Must Die, Mastodon, Chimaira, Blind Guardian, Goatwhore, Kalmah, Unearth, Lamb of God, Thanatos... I could go on, but it would rock hard with these guys present.

by **Ecliptica** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 11:56 pm

Kalmah would be pretty nice, though they're not the best live band out there.

Another band I'd love to have on the cruise would be Bal-Sagoth (plus, that'd keep Dragonforce away

) but they are fuckin' atrocious live. I think they'd bring a hell of a party though and may be needed just for that.

All the bands playing, I'm pretty certain, have been confirmed and while I'd be excited if the cruise listened to our comments, I think it may just be all wishful thinking at this point. Let the speculation continue!

by **Chopper** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 1:02 am

Black: Mayhem, satyricon, Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, 1349, Dark Funeral, marduk, gorgoroth, venom

Prog/experimental/extreme: Ihshan, enslaved

Death: obituary, vader, behemoth, nile

Thrash: kreator, destruction, exodus, voivod

Industrial: fear factory

crossover : DRI

Grindcore: Carcass

Gothic: Crematory, Graveworm

Headliners: Motorhead, Judas priest, scorpions, slayer, rammstein...Iron maiden, heaven and hell

debut: Triptykon Tom warriors new band X Celtic frost hellhammer

NO more Power Metal and NWOBHM

So far there has been a good selection of Genres but no Black, death, goth, or industrial and experimental/ extreme.
Im sure you will make a good roster.

by **Thebobert5** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 5:27 pm

Power Metal: Rhapsody of Fire, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth (Demons and Wizards would be AMAZING) Kamelot, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Iron Maiden, Alestorm (Come on! It's pirate metal.....on a cruise!)

Folk: Turisas (They put on an great show) Korpiklaani, Eluveitie

Heavy Metal: White Wizzard, Rob Zombie, Mastodon, Haggard (Not "heavy metal" but didn't know where to put them.) Skindred (Again, no clue where to put 'em, but they defiantly know how to work a crowd.)

Death: Bal-Sagoth, Dimmu Borgir

Headliner: Rammstein

by **strangeways** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 5:35 pm

Bands I'd like to see - Wolf, Immortal, Blue Oyster Cult, Anvil, Accept, Angel Witch, Pentagram, Doro, UDO, WASP, Motorhead, Wrath, Thunder Driver, Kings X, Krokus, Union, Witchfinder General, Warrior Soul, Bible Of The Devil, Icarus Witch ....

by **Sinister Realm** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 5:48 pm

As much classic and traditional metal as possible and throw in some doom metal and power metal.

Or what about Biohazard (Re-Union)???

C U in January

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 10:09 am

Personally i prefer it to stay more heavy and power metal orientated.
Would be cool to have some American bands like Kamelot,Symphony x and Iced Earth for us Europeans.They are big bands in europe but don't play too much outside of America.

I'm just gonna list a few bands i think would be awesome on this cruise.

W.A.S.P ,Blind Guardian,Accept,Heaven and Hell,Judas priest,Ancient Rites,Bal Sagoth,BULLET,Edguy,Grave Digger,Haggard,Cage,Rebellion,
Thyrfing,Kreator,Moonsorrow.

But most of all it would be a fucking dream come true if you guys could get King Diamond to play on this boat.

Meshuggah
Dismember

According to what I was told upon booking, the lineup for the cruise has pretty much been set. The reason they're throwing out one or two at a time is because of all the paper work and red tape still being dealt with. Some of the bands they've selected may end up dropping out later on, so I suppose it doesn't hurt to make suggestions. And yes, the headliners have already been selected (so I was told), so they might save those names for the end.

Forbidden stated that they were confirmed, but I was told that the deal with them hasn't been finalized yet, so they jumped the gun a bit. Hopefully it'll turn out to be true.

Personally, I would be thrilled to get any of the following:

Testament
Overkill
Annihilator
Brainstorm
Nevermore
Powermad
Heathen
Primal Fear
The Crown
Thrash Or Die
Destruction
Martyr
Quo Vadis
Bloodbath
Vader
Sadist
Anata
Morbid Angel
Unleashed
Kalmah
Ensiferum
Insomnium
Eluveitie
Saq
Tankard
Artillery
Evile
Helloween
Gamma Ray
Bloodbound
Masterplan
Demons and Wizards
Mystic Prophecy
Metalium
Biomechanical
Zimmer's Hole
Dream Evil
Savage Circus
Stormwarrior
Alestorm

And that's just for starters

Yes, I too would love too see Death, but we all know that's not gonna happen. Same goes for Gorefest, who split up again last year (for the final time I'm sure)

Frankly, I'm a little surprised by some of the distinctly UN-Metal suggestions I've seen in this thread thus far

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 5:37 am

There will always be one or 2 who make certain suggestions.
Luckily they are more likely the minority so there wishes would not be granted anyway

omg, hell no, none of those bands please, and I agree maybe Motorhead.

by **TOM CRUISE** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 11:56 am

Hey Bekah, cabinmate! I think we need to buy the Irish bloke a beer. Because he is correct. Those bands all blow except for Motorhead.

Please. No numetal, mallcore bullshit.

TRUE METAL only. Keep it going guys, its looking great so far....

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:17 pm

Hehe free beer sounds good to me seeming as one can never have enough beer

And yes true metal all the way!
Good to see there's people who agree with my taste of metal on this boat.

by **sideways** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:25 pm

I'm really happy with the lineup so far and I like the suggestions so far.

Now, cristisism is welcome here: What about Kittie? I'm not sure how many of you have heard of them. They are from Canada... all chicks. They are not my favorite or anything but I think it could be a cool addition to add to the variation of metal they have going on.

What does everybody think?

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:28 pm

by **TOM CRUISE** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:30 pm

The only chick fronted band I want on board is Holy Moses from Germany.....

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:36 pm

I prefer just a good male metal band that has strippers on stage

by **sideways** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:37 pm

lol.... I figured that would be the response I would get. You are right though 'Tom Cruise'... Holy Moses is BAD ASS

....

Any Doro Pesch fans out there?

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:40 pm

Yes well i'm actually more of a huge Warlock fan.Been lucky enough to see them twice.Some of her solo stuff itsn't bad but she has a few questionable songs in her solo career and the good thing about when she performs is half the set is usually Warlock classics and a cover of Breaking the Law.Seen her solo concerts twice too

soooooooooooooo you just like to oogle ladies boobies... there are talented female musicians out there you know! i play guitar and i know im not that good but im working on it. its hard to get some respect when you are a female musician... jeese.

anyways.... there is a semi annual even here in my town called metal meets strippers. It's pretty awesome I have to admit. A band plays... then a stripper goes on.. then another band... etc etc.

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:46 pm

Haha i know there are good female musicians.Equilibrium and Ensiferum are good examples of that.
Where is this annual event you speak of by the way?
