We are in the same position we were in last year now.

Last year at this time we knew 34 bands and got the remaining 7 on the final Thur/Fri.

Given that there is clearly last-minute scrambling for bands going on, I dare say we will have a similar situation this year.

Well that's no more wish bands for me then.

Kinda hoped for Annihilator. There is NO chance they will tour here.

If that is correct then even the previously thought likely bands are more or less no chance i.e. Revamp........

I have 7 two setters already anyway so i'm happy, all announced in the first 13 bands early last year!!!

by **cowboy71** » Wed Jan 15, 2014 11:27 pm

Yeah of all the bands that have been announced in the last week before the cruise in previous years there has only been 1 band I caught 1 set of. Nightmare last year.

So I'm not expecting anything major now.

by **Memnoch** » Wed Jan 15, 2014 11:35 pm

Last year the last bands included such awesome bands like Cryptopsy and Anaal Nathrakh, so I'm hoping for something good this time round too.

I have to listen to the new ones. Don't know any of them. Unfortunately again.

by **Speedy** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 12:07 am

Listening to Freedom Call right now, and it think my earwax has turned rainbow colored.

They're ultracheesy, and I'm loving it. This is going to be a lot of fun!

yeah, i don't peruse every forum, just saw a show in Jan on the 31st, and seeing Pillar looks desperate for anyone now, well, and they're babes.

I still hold hope for a gem of an announcement ........ ACCEPT maybe.

I know better, but I always hope for a happy ending MOTORHEAD

by **dinki** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 12:57 am

pretty cool announcements!

Freedom Call: a little long dream of mine to see them live and just remeber the good old counter-strike fragmovies

hatesphere: will be a solid one-Setter i think

unearth? sorry for that but Metal is like an apple, only idiots like the core. don't take that to personal but i hate core :(

by **X-Thor** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 1:33 am

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

FREEDOM CALL!!!

I never thought I'd see them live.

Holy shit, I love this lineup. Good bands for my brvtal side and the weeniest band in the universe. Definite two-setter.

And, yeah, I kinda expected you wouldn't like them, Joey.

Btw, Sasha Gerstner from Helloween used to play with Freedom Call, apparently.

by **broegaard** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 1:42 am

Freedom call = 2 sets...

And I will try to attend at least one set of hatesphere and Unearth....

I may be an idiot but this album just kicks ass:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of8Ob0xjSGU

I did not know them before as I'm not into core but never too old to change my mind

One set for sure

by **headlinerluxi** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 4:33 am

there is no band i can consider as a * headliner * role as - in flames, sabaton, metal church, kreator and helloween last cruise or edguy, kamelot , annihilator, hammerfall or nightwish the year before.

or the best has yet to come, ( Annihilator, Brainstorm, Magnum, Armored Saint, Crimson Glory, Dokken )

line up so far not too bad for me, as i will watch the most bands on the pooldeck with some drinks, sun and fun....,

by **Mr.Kito** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 4:43 am

Always been curious about freedom call... never heard about the other 2 though...

i'll check a set from freedom call.. but we're still missing THE power metal band, no offense to the other ones...

no offense, I love brainstorm but they are far from beihg a headliner.

not judging the quality but Magnum is not "heavy metal" so is not a headliner for the metalheads

i think there won't be a offical kamelot replacement. just another band that is not announced as "replacement"

i agree, but what i wanna say was, that i would be very fine to have some bands as brainstorm etc..onboard,
headliners as blind guardian, hammerfall, volbeat, megadeth, anthrax or slayer would be awesome, but i can not imagine that we will have such a big surprise during the last days....before joining the ship

I think Volbeat is far away from the budget possibilities of UMC......

I have asked andy directly, on multiple occasions(!!!), to book Magnum but he doesn't consider them metal either :(

But honestly - they are incredibly influential and quite frankly I reckon they are more 'metal' than Gotthard (no disrespect meant to Gotthard either - I love them to pieces).

So yeah - not arguing with you, but I think Magnum would have a lot of fans on broad and would draw a very decent crowd due to the Bob's standing in the metal community with his work on projects like Avantasia.

Fingers crossed. Sorely needed after the last couple batches.

I don't know. Both play as headliner on Metaldays this year and Metaldays are not really big or have not expensive tickets.

CRYYYYYY OF A REEESTLESSSSSS SOOOOOOUUUUUUULL!

If this actually happened I would probably just lay down and allow myself to die after their last set. Life would be complete. Though I think by the horizon thing he just meant the boats departing soon.... BUT IM CROSSING EVERY DAMN FINGER I HAVE AND SOME OTHER PARTS OF MY BODY THAT SHOULDNT CROSS!!!!

by **viathyn** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 8:32 am

Don't cross your dick, dude.

Anyways, yeah it was mentioned on facebook (based entirely from amount of facebook 'likes') that this year's cruise has 'smaller' bands. The 'biggest' ones this year are Death and Satyricon, with under half a million likes each. Compared to other years, 2011 testament with 1.4 million, 2012 nightwish with over 4 million (!!!), and 2013 in flames with over a million.

From conversations I've had with Andy in the past, he's mentioned that he's always got to book these 'huge' bands to draw a bunch of people (This was before the 2013 cruise, but the bands he mentioned were nightwish and in flames). I'm wondering if there are any bigger bands booked that will fulfill the "WE HAVE BIG SURPRISES FOR YOU" claim. It's pretty late in the game, though.

by **Chris** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 8:39 am

I am okay with medium to small sized surprises, so long as they don't suck.

Absolutely. I'm really looking forward to Rising Storm, which is the smallest of them all, and I had heard of them before.

by **Stained Class** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 9:04 am

All of our "small" bands this year are awesome! Cripper, Rising Storm and Izegrim I hope to catch 2 sets each!

by **broegaard** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 9:05 am

maybe is too late to draw people with one announcement....

I think only HUGE bands could have this effect so late in the season

by **Stained Class** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 9:06 am

At this point they shouldn't be worried about selling the remaining cabins, just having a good lineup so that people will keep coming back.

but by estimates /observation on the boat they did not sold out Barge and 70.000 tons 2013!!!!

No, but at this point they won't be able to sell many tickets.

Not to start the negative train. I just wonder about public opinion.... have we forgotten about the 6 month silence UMC gave us, and are we just letting it go if not? Or are we gonna hound Andy a little about it. Cause at this point I'm apathetic....

CAN WE HAVE THE PAGANFEST LINEUP????
