What bands can be ruled out for 2016? - Page 9

by **Jimbo2392** » Mon Dec 21, 2015 9:39 pm

Can we rule out Amon Amarth since they don't have a official drummer, or are they still a possible add?

They can easily find a fill-in drummer. COB still hasn't found a guitarist to replace Roope so they will need to find a replacement for live shows.

Did you catch Order of Chaos? They are a local band from my city..

I did! They were pretty solid, a very suitable opener for them. Actually, they would be a very interesting contender for the Cripper Award.

I might be wrong here but didn't they say they would move on as a 4-piece band, with only Alexi on the strings?

Nice! I'll let them know. The guitar player(bald one) is a customer of mine, and will be with another local band Striker on the European Primal Fear tour. The lead singer Amanda is also the singer for Into Eternity (Iced Earth's Stu Block's old band).

He had mentioned the Barcelona show was a major highlight!

It was a great show indeed! The venue was not very big but it was packed. Battle Beast played in a festival in Barcelona a few months ago, I guess that was some good promotion they gave themselves. Glad to hear your pals liked it here, they delivered a very good show :)

Not that they were ever a chance I reckon, but TOURNIQUET can be ruled out as the lead singer Luke Ester has left the band after 22 years :(

by **cowboy71** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 2:48 pm

Another that was never really a chance as she is more of a 'Monsters of Rock cruise' kind of girl, but Gabbie Rae just announced that she will be supporting Europe on their US tour so she is out.

You can count out every single band playing on the Monsters of Rock cruise.
Given especially the short time between the cruises it would be complete madness if the promoter for the cruise didn't get them to contractually agree not to play the 70k cruise the same year.I guarantee you ask any of those bands and they'll probably tell you they aren't allowed play another metal/rock cruise in the us next year.

by **cyberchp** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 8:00 pm

You can count out Motorhead... Yeah I know too soon. I loved that son of a bitch. Fuck Cancer! Glad my kids were able to see a part of rock and roll history during Mayhem2012.

So I think Orphaned Land is also out. The play at Acre, Israel - Feb 4.

by **bodomdragon** » Thu Dec 31, 2015 4:54 am

At this point I think it's safe to assume that the no-repeat rule has been extended to TWO editions. There's no prove yet but it feels like all bands from 2014 are ruled out.

What about last year? Ensiferum and Helstar both played.

by **cowboy71** » Thu Dec 31, 2015 5:37 pm

I think we can consider Helstar as an exception - as I think they were a very last minute crap-I-need-another-band addition as they were already in the area.

But yes Ensiferum were a very early addition, so I think there is a possibility we may get one or two bands from 2014 still.

by **Razor Ramon** » Thu Dec 31, 2015 10:30 pm

If they get one from 2014 it better be Haggard.

Come on Chico, I would love to see a couple bands on your wish list.

by **Memnoch** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 1:57 am

The obvious choice from 2014 would be the already ruled out Swallow the Sun.

Obvious choice is ruled out. Obvious choice is therefore not obvious.

Well they would certainly go with my 'finishing the lineup with bands that have a lot of members to fill cabins' theory!!

Indeed. Well, a gig in Helsinki could easily be rescheduled if the right opportunity presented itself.
I did just see them in Jyväskylä on Boxing Day - and they played for almost two hours. And they have a gig in Helsinki in two weeks (with Lik from Stockholm as their support

). And I guess I can catch them sometime during the summer too.

And as a six-piece they'd be a cabin-filler as well.

by **Razor Ramon** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 9:32 am

I'm sure the Swallow The Sun guys would gladly cancel anything to get on the cruise.

by **SaraMarie** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 1:51 pm

Allegaeon starts recording on Feb 8th, so I'm guess they're not gonna be on this year, either. Sad! They're one of those bands that are not only awesome to see live, but they would be fun to have on the ship.

by **Pellaz** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 3:22 am

Well, dang. Either Allegaeon or Orphaned Land would have made me very happy.

Website · by **doomguy** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 4:00 am

Orphaned Land are ruled out too?

I was thinking of it as a brand new rule from now onwards. Of course I might be wrong but I feel like this is gonna happen.

Ne Obliviscaris can officially be ruled out:

Ne Obliviscaris

So as some of you may have worked out by now we aren't playing 70k, BUT we are going to be announcing a handful of USA HEADLINE SHOWS in that early Feb timeframe instead so check back here tomorrow for the details!

I told y'all that a while ago

by **Mal2000** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 2:13 am

Another bummer for me. ABIGAIL WILLIAMS will NOT be on board frown emoticon They tour with Fleshgod Apocalypse and Carach Angren but will have separate shows during cruise.

So we already lost Ne Obliviscaris, Dictated, Abigail Williams and who knows what will happen to Havok and The Hunted

by **cowboy71** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 6:37 pm

Holy Grail - ruled out or a chance?

Their North American tour starts on the 8th of February in Phoenix.

by **biertroll** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 7:13 pm

Obituary, Cryptopsy, Cannabis Corpse?

Obituary are playing the Florida Metal fest the weekend before the cruise so that increases their likelihood of being on broad. ON THE OTHER HAND, they played the cruise in 2014 and there have been zero 2014 repeats thusfar for 2016....

Cryptopsy have a US tour starting 12th of February so I reckon they are a real chance.

Cannabis Corpse don't have any dates scheduled until end-Feb so they too are a chance.

Well, that blows. Another one off my wish list.

VAN CANTO can be ruled out.

Apparently they were offered but turned it down due to work commitments.

Bummer, would have been fun to have them on board. Will be seeing them in London in March on their Voices of Fire tour anyway, so no biggie.

by **cowboy71** » Sun Jan 10, 2016 2:23 am

Yeah :(

Was super excited because I discovered they were listed on the Napalm Records Tours page:

http://label.napalmrecords.com/live/

But its all a big mistake apparently - and now that I look at it, it is weird because it is not listed with Van Canto's other dates so that makes it more likely its a mistake.

Website · by **doomguy** » Sun Jan 10, 2016 3:35 am

Yeah I saw that. I assumed it's not listed with the other dates because the rest of the dates were for 2015. Odd the rest of the dates for 2016 aren't listed but 70k is. If it's a mistake why not remove it. Hopefully they are fibbing, bands have been know to do that, right.

Also, I notice you have Unexpect on your wish list. You can rule them out because they've split up.

WOW completely missed that bit of news. Bugger :(

Oh well, really glad that I caught them when I did on 70k!
