What about Magrudergrind Andy?!

Crap, forgot about them! I'll take that, too. But it's probably Mors.

Guess I don't get to unwrap "M"ore presents until after Christmas...

Quite wrong Jess, we got to unwrap the "M"ore present before Christmas!

Next M, is it Megadeth? or Mon Marth?

by **deathmetalpat** » Sat Dec 24, 2016 11:50 am

Myrkur,out there guess.

Thanks UMC!

That would be fantastic. Saw her open for Behemoth, and it was absolutely brilliant.

YEEEEESSSS!!! FUCK YESSSSS!!! THANK YOU!!!! Best lineup ever!!!

by **DrinkMoxie** » Sat Dec 24, 2016 12:06 pm

Holy shit! This lineup is SO fucking AMAZING... I need to find money to go

by **Phoenix** » Sat Dec 24, 2016 12:08 pm

I'm so happy.

This is insane. The #1 (MPE) and #2 (Scar Symmetry) bands on my bucket list, and Amorphis, on the same cruise? Next you're going to tell me Metsatoll is next and Chthonic is on broad, right?

This lineup is fantastic. The amount of melodeath ALONE has me salivating.

Legitimately gasped at this one. I can't believe he did it. I really can't. One of my top "never cross the Atlantic" bands is official.

And somehow I'm not the most excited person in my cabin...

MORS PRINCIPIUM EST

Alright, waking up..

Next maybe Månegarm??? (Please Andy!!!)

Note that "hiding" is superfluous here, he could have just said "Another M is around the corner", so it could be a clue of something/someone who can hide.
The only thing I can think of with 'M' that can hide is that both Månegarm and Metsatöll mean some kind of wolf, so they could work.

by **metalmaciejmetal** » Sat Dec 24, 2016 5:54 pm

The next m band isnt going to be metallica. Sorry guys

by **Phoenix** » Sat Dec 24, 2016 6:59 pm

FUCK. Way to ruin my holiday.

Melechesh and Metsatöll both seem likely. I'd love both. But there's no way I'd ask for anything else after today, geez

by **Pellaz** » Sat Dec 24, 2016 7:56 pm

MPE makes me very, VERY fucking happy. Bucket-list band. Christmas has arrived early; thanks Andy!

As for the new "M".... There are a LOT of good bands that begin with M. I really wouldn't mind seeing Melechesh return from 2015, though.

They aren't going to bring enough of those shirts I bet ,these will sell out right away.This is when I wish there where some pre-order swag system for buying things.

I'd like to pre-order a 3x please - just let me know how

Because I know they won't have any by the time I get through the line

maybe a voucher pre-order delivered to the stateroom, just to make sure you can pick one up when you go through the merch line

MASTERMIND!!!!!!!

by **CFH** » Sun Dec 25, 2016 12:48 am

I asked MPE about the cruise a couple of months ago and received very vague responses. At the time I thought this was because they were not interested, but I guess this explains it all. Really glad they got on board because even though they are a local band they don't tour Finland too often.

I know it's a matter of points of view, but as a huge MeloDeath fan, this is almost impossible to be topped. Arch Enemy, Omnium Gatherum, Kalmah, Amorphis, MPE, Scar Symmetry... Seriously, this is just too good to be true. I thought 2016's lineup was unbeatable... I was wrong.

by **Memnoch** » Sun Dec 25, 2016 5:22 am

Memoriam and/or Mourning Beloveth would make me a happy little wookie.

Don't we already have enough WDM bands onbroad?

Yes we would, for Joey's ego. Also, isn't there a no-assholes clause in Andy's contract? That would discount having Manowar onbroad.

by **CyBeRiaNO** » Mon Dec 26, 2016 9:17 am

Melechesh or Myrath are good bands to see in the cruise with Orphaned Land

by **General Zod** » Mon Dec 26, 2016 1:12 pm

metalmaciejmetal wrote:If it was manowar we would need a bigger boat

Yeah... I don't actually see Manowar ever doing a cruise like this. Based on the clue, I'm more realistically hoping for Mgla. Translated, Mgla means "fog". Given the clue is "hidden", perhaps that works. Yeah... I know, I'm reaching.

That is actually a damn impressive guess. They are fairly highly-requested too so you could be onto something here :)

or maybe My Hidden Sin...

Should be Metal Church , mutha fukas.....as they dicked us before, and went to that lame monsters of rock cruise

by **acidbasement** » Tue Dec 27, 2016 12:58 pm

Not familiar with them, but it looks like cattle decapitation is next.

by **acidbasement** » Tue Dec 27, 2016 1:02 pm

Or Cephalic Carnage?

by **deathmetalpat** » Tue Dec 27, 2016 1:03 pm

Candlemass ,clues this year aren't clues I believe.Andy is just referring to the anticipation of this long leaked announcement.Listening to Misery Loves Co.,small selection on Apple Music but not that bad.

You're probably correct. Andy seems hell bent on not improving this lackluster lineup and Cattle Decapitation would definitely improve it.

I'm guessing this is a personal favorite of his as their most popular song has been played a mere 8 times, in the previous 365 days, as tracked by Last.fm.

Holy hell. I actually gasped when I saw this. This goes straight to the top of my list of must sees I think. 'Not like them' was on heavy rotation in my cd player in the late 90s after i first discovered them through a compilation disc ('earache records' possibly.)
It's very dark and dirty stuff and encapsulated my teenage angst at the time perfectly.
Here's 'it's all yours' from said album:
https://youtu.be/CQQCRQf_SmA

And "my mind still speaks"
https://youtu.be/ZiPENHSeFYM

And my personal favourite...'Prove me wrong'
https://youtu.be/DgCjR4YhrP4
I love how it starts so gentle (but dirgy) and it just gets heavier and angrier and just doesn't cease. Plus the whole context of the song is great.

Love it.

when I finally saw them(& got to DJ for them!) it was in 2001 after their follow up 'your vision was never mine to share' was released. It is a good album, but more electronic and had lost the visceral edge of the earlier material in my opinion.
There's still some cool songs like "standing on top of the world" but it'll probably appeal much less to those after faster heavier stuff.

'Your vision...'
https://youtu.be/DcEHRhsvC5I

I didn't even know they'd reformed so this has slapped me right in the merry Christmas.

Fuck yes.
