@Memnoch: Just saw you "anything with martin van drunen" on your wishlist. If we could get Asphyx tha would be killer!!!!

Memnoch wrote:Did you listen to Massarce or the band we got, Masacre?

For fucks sakes... I forget sometimes how easy it is to mix up these bands. Yes, I listened to the wrong band.

Masacre is a little more death metal than I'd typically be into, y'know, if I'm just grabbing for something to listen to at home or work. I like them enough that, so long as there's no conflicts, I'd catch a set, sure. I just watched the video for "Donde Habita el Mal" right now. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0kb4LtIhx4

Now my ass goes to work, where I will try to actually work instead of thinking about the cruise!

I'm finding this SO difficult lately!!!

Definitely will watch Abandon Hope and Divided Multitude. Jungle Rot very likely. Masacre is not my kind of Death Metal, too gutural...

Bitch for weeks about no bands announced then get 4 at once and the bitching starts within 3 posts. ........
2 weeks from right now we'll be out on the open seas having the time of our lives. If the lineup doesn't meet with your expectations, I sincerely feel bad for you and completely agree that this should give you every reason in the world to reconsider returning in the future without some of your fave bands being announced first. But please, try to see your beer stein or kool-aid glass as at least half full and make the best of it. :

Well stated, sir, thanks for the reminder. I didn't want to come off as a negative person, though that's how my post looked. Sorry everyone.. just excited. It took me a long time to be able to afford to do this, so I guess I'm just conflicted because

1) I am determined to have a GREAT FUCKING TIME

but

2) Basically all of my favorite bands have played on past cruises, but now that I can finally afford to go the lineup (just my opinion) is not as good as in the past.

Ah well... let's just focus on the positive: METAL!

I'm not generally a death guy either, but that song is pretty amazing. I'll check out half a set and decide then whether to stay for the rest.

by **DrinkMoxie** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 8:25 am

I'm 0/4 on this announcement... BUT I'm not complaining at all... I've already got a busy week ahead, the lineup is killer... a handful of bucketlist bands I've never seen, one I never thought I'd ever see, and a few bands I can't ever get enough of and a few bands I'll enjoy seeing again at least once... I am hoping for just 1 or 2 more bands I'm really into, but I'm definitely already VERY excited!

by **Phoenix** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 8:53 am

I tallied it up with a friend... I want to check out at LEAST 18 of the bands so far. Some of which I want to try to get to both sets. I feel like that's pretty good value so far, that and I'm not sure how much more time I can really get. So, I'm happy. I'll take some girlie metal for Memnoch :)

by **soundcurve** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 9:01 am

One band I was really hoping for was Satyricon. Given that 1349 was on the boat I was hoping frost could pull double duty (Though for all I know 1349 might get a fill in drummer as Satyricon might be in writing mode). Looking through the forums I noticed a couple people stating last year that Satyr stated not doing a 70k again. Anyone on 70k last year know more about this? Was it just the “cutting the set short”?

Anywho, look forward to the cruise. Glad 1349, Behemoth, Melechesh and CC are on it.

Would love to see God Seed, Gorgoroth, Dark Fortress, Entombed, Rotting Christ, My Dying Bride, Ruins of Beverast, Danzig, Marduk, Godflesh, Inquisition, Paradise Lost, Bloodbath get on.

If Andy listened to the wookie, we would have (multiple?) Martin Van Drunen bands on broad.

by **Memnoch** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 12:00 pm

Yeah, at this point it is pretty obvious that my wish list has no impact on Andy's bookings.

Orange Goblin cancelled their tour and then booked a bunch of festivals. $ factor is just a guess from me.

I was just on Abandon Hope's website to check out some of their music and they said "see you all in Miami" I hope they know the port is not in Miami. That would suck for them if they showed up at the wrong port.

Skipper has been pretty adamant about stating that Miami is still where the party is. I don't think he's made mention of FLL other than the fact the port is there.

I just previewed them. It wouldn't bother me if they showed up at the wrong port.

I'm starting to Abandon Hope of anything else off my wishlist being added to the lineup

by **Dimma** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 2:01 pm

I have more likes on my page than one of these bands......

by **ironhorse** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 2:33 pm

2 great adds for me. Never seen Masacre (Columbia) before so that will be crushing. Just saw Jungle Rot during the last Kataklysm/Suffocation tour and im glad to get more.
A call to the death metal fans, has anyone seen the new video by Hate? I already want them onbroad but now I really need to see them!
Anyways good job UMC

Goodness knows, its not like I have a SMALL wishlist. I have an entire cruise worth of bands on there.

And they are all very cruise-worthy and achievable I reckon.

So there can be only ONE explanation.

Andy hates me.

by **Andy** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 3:21 pm

I seem to make these kind of mistakes every year. Could it be because I am indulging too much in Jamaican hobbies while being in British Columbia? My apologies to the people of COLOMBIA! It looks like I have to add one more from that country so that I won't forget: Please Welcome THY ANTICHRIST onbroad 70000TONS OF METAL 2015, The Original! The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise!

BTH has another band.

by **Sgt. B** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 3:30 pm

Please welcome from Columbia by way of Texas ...

It is cool that we have another black metal band. Unfortunately not one I have any interest in.

by **cowboy71** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 3:36 pm

TOLD YOU HE HATES ME!

But I think that announcement may not have been due today - he just wanted to do it today so he could apologise for the spelling mistake yesterday, so respect for that.

by **deathmetalpat** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 3:38 pm

I have to admit something here ,I stated many a time there would never be another BTH ,could barely sell 1200 tickets I said ,financial disaster I said , sunny skies and black metal don't mix I said.Well put 40 BTH bands on the 60 band- New 70k and bamm BTH 2 ,well played Andy well played.

He was also able to answer the questions about when the online check-in would be occurring.

Looking at it objectively, I reckon there are probably 24 BTH-like bands on the lineup out of 43. If you look at past lineups, that compares well with pretty much every previous 70K lineup except 2013 (which was understandably BTH-light being immediately after Barge).

But having said that, PLEASE ANDY GIVE ME SOME BANDS FROM MY WISHLIST!!!

But if 16 of the 17 are BTH bands we will have 40.BTW I think this is a last minute play to fill the boat because Columbian cocaine dealers could afford the expensive cabins that are remaining lol.

by **Memnoch** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 4:00 pm

Well, it's not a repeat. That's pretty much the nicest thing I can come up with.

by **Razor Ramon** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 4:02 pm

fuck..

I'm always down for more HATE. I loved Solarflesh. I have seen them live once before about 6 or 7 years ago.

So far the new track sounds good (listening to it now), thanks for letting me know about it!

by **Warphine** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 4:06 pm

Oh and Jungle Rot is pretty damn good. Check out "Terror Regime" for those of you that aren't familiar. Great add!

by **Phoenix** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 4:12 pm

I guess it'd be a really biased boat if we got more folk, hey?

I would like another really solid melodeath band... One that will raise my eyebrows. And then some power. Because what's a metal show of ANY description without terrible whiplash?

by **cowboy71** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 4:12 pm

Absolutely - hence why I hope for some stuff from my wishlist
