That's a killer lineup already, can't wait to see who else gets added!

by **Schluckspecht666** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 8:50 pm

Great line-up so far! I love the variety! 70000Tons of Metal rules!

by **TOM CRUISE** » Fri Feb 26, 2010 3:23 pm

BTW- I do not know if its a breach of contract but Forbidden have that they are playing the cruise on their Facebook page

Otherwise- this line up RULES so far. So glad that I booked my cabin.

by **audrey** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 9:02 pm

Great line up so far!!! I would love to see TYR, Alestorm and Ensiferum added to that bill (just to start!!)

When can I book a cabin?? When I clicked on the contact link, it said that cabins aren't available to the public yet. Thanks!

I really like the lineup so far.Kind of the reason i decided to travel all the way from Ireland for this.
Also i've been on metal cruises in Sweden once or twice so i know how much fun they can be

Awesome! I wish that I could say that I have done the same thing. Sweden metal cruise = win!

by **BlackToothGrin** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 6:25 pm

Moonspell! awesome!

by **TOM CRUISE** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 11:27 pm

Excellent! Moonspell are awesome.

by **Lumbergh** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 3:18 am

well, I gotta say that so far Amon Amarth, Finntroll, Moonspell, Saxon, Sodom, Sonata Arctica have peaked my interest.

by **TOM CRUISE** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:00 pm

I just got Witchburner's first two albums on one CD from The End Records. "Witchburner/Blasphemic Assault"

Fucking amazing thrash!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see these guys tear shit up.

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:22 pm

Have yet to hear Witchburner myself.Any album you recomend?

by **TOM CRUISE** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:10 pm

Personally, I just started with them myself and picked up the first two albums on one CD from 96 and 98. It's 19 songs and really catchy thrash. Next I am going to order "Final Detonation" album

by **mafiotecano** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 6:13 pm

One word... SODOM

nothing more to add \m/

by **jd15k** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 11:08 pm

line up is fucking great so far!! i'm so looking forward for this!! i've seen already sonata arctica and epica live performaces and they kick ass!! it'll be great to see'em again and als othe other bands \m/

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 5:47 am

I'm guessing they sail to Spain next after Portugal.
Would be cool if they announced someone like Tierra Santa,Mago De Oz or Dark Moor

by **jd15k** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 6:31 am

Mago de Oz and Dark Moor would be fucking gfreat!!

by **metalia** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 9:53 am

Oh god yes Mago de Oz would be great ^^ As well as Adagio from France

by **WVmetal** » Sat Mar 06, 2010 4:09 pm

All great bands so far with a grand 28 more to go and though they all seem to flow pretty well I am opting to throw in the 2cents for the WV band: Byzantine!

by **Captain Metal** » Sat Mar 06, 2010 10:54 pm

Seems the next band(s) to be named are either from the US (Florida perhaps) or Brazil, based on the heading of West-By Southwest from Portugal to the next destination

by **Zeh** » Sun Mar 07, 2010 6:04 am

I opened Google Maps, and West South-West is more on the Florida side.

Anyway, it could be a Mexican band. The only band I know from Mexico is Brujeria

by **Captain Metal** » Sun Mar 07, 2010 12:28 pm

Just for the record, Brujeria is not really a Mexican band. The vocalist might be the only one in the band, the rest being members of Napalm Death, Carcass, Fear Factory and others. Really a Death Metal joke band more then anything, but then again, maybe you already knew that

Speaking of which I think we need to get Ten Masked Men in on this. Death Metal comedy gold!

by **Die for Dethklok** » Sun Mar 07, 2010 11:08 pm

I've seen Amon Amarth live and they're very good. I would like to see Sonata Arctica and Epica, I hope i find a way to make it onboard.

by **Captain Metal** » Sun Mar 07, 2010 11:19 pm

Just find one or more cabin mates, get the money together, and you can part of all the action. Money I think being the biggest part of that equation for some

by **laRFex** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 8:39 am

glad to have my cabin allready

i hope heavenly will join us on the cruise

by **Zeh** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 2:10 pm

Suggestion: Instead of announcing the 13th band, you should also say the 14th band. This will avoid the unlucky number 13 to be told!

by **Chopper** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:25 pm

speaking of anouncements....its about that time...please.

Indeed! We're SO DAMN CURIOUS!

by **bestialbekah** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 4:24 pm

Hell yeah right on!! OBITUARY!!!

by **Captain Metal** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 4:28 pm

And so comes Obituary!

These guys were on my short list for Floridian bands, so this really comes as no surprise to me. As long as they don't play Bullituary (that rap song they did on Back From The Dead.Ugh), then I'll be fine.

by **Chopper** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 10:58 pm

Nice obituary, pioneers of Florida death metal, one off my wish list.

8 out of 13 bands I want to see, so many bands so little time.

by **Evican** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 12:42 am

Epica, Obituary, Amon Amarth, Finntroll & Moonspell = YES!

Maybe some Behemoth for good measure?

by **Schluckspecht666** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 4:18 am

Obituary! Fucking Nice!

by **Evil Dan** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 4:31 am

awesome lineup so far!!!

Sodom, Witchburner....u will need Tankard, Kreator and Hatred to get the perfect German Thrash-package...

for those who don´t know Hatred, have a listen highly recomendet Thrash:

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 5:15 am

Another quality band announced.
Fuck me this is one hell of a great lineup so far.
Keep up the good work guys

by **Hayah** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:38 pm

Sodom, Saxon, Amon Amarth, Obituary, Uli Jon Roth...hell yeah!

any new band?

by **KevinP** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:37 pm

Obituary is playing The Firestone in Orlando on 05/28/10 for anyone who will be down here at that time. I've never seen them do Bullituary live, so I wouldn't worry about that too much.

by **jd15k** » Sun Mar 14, 2010 8:11 pm

it'd be not bad if blind guardian was invited as well ^^

by **Captain Metal** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 2:08 am

Unfortunately, I have seen Obituary play Bullituary...twice

The last time they played here was the 2nd time I had to endure that. It was truly a black eye moment for Death Metal...again

I've seen them about 4 or 5 times, so I suppose the odds are in our favor

by **KevinP** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 10:50 am

How about the PEACEVILLE QUARTET:

My Dying Bride, Madder Mortem, Katatonia & Bloodbath
