The Official 70000TONS OF METAL 2018 Megathread - Page 16

Just stop. The lineup is too good. I hate it.

by **acidbasement** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 4:00 pm

Approved!

by **Jimbo2392** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 4:11 pm

My guess is Annihilator

but what I want is Abbath

but what everyone else wants is Amon Amarth

by **sara** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 4:12 pm

I'm actually digging Gyze, and not just because this means more Japanese people I can potentially harass with my terrible attempts at practicing Japanese. Also, the person who said it was female fronted... Screw you!

I totally raced to EM to find out if that was the case and right away saw the photo. Not nice, tsk tsk. That hair doe...

I guess I can live with Primal Fear being the "P" band but I'm extremely "meh" about them.

I'd like Angelus Apatrida for our "A" band but know better. I keep asking. I'll ask every year. Also, Aeon, Aborted or Afgrund (also quite unlikely).

Apologies for the "female fronted" comment. I really DID think it was a woman fronting the band from the picture.

by **DrinkMoxie** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 4:17 pm

Ablaze My Sorrow, ...And Oceans (reunion), A Canorous Quintet, A Storm Of Light, Acrassicauda, Alestorm, Algebra, Anacrusis (re-reunion), Anata (reunion), Armageddon, Armored Saint, At The Gates, Atoma (reunion), The Absence, Akani, or Amsvartner (reunion) would all be nice

by **cowboy71** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 4:18 pm

Thinking ALESTORM.

Haha it's okay, I really thought it was a joke, though.

I totally do want to see at least one lady growler. There's usually one or more.

how about Shadow, the amazing Japanese melodeath band whose singer most people don't even realize is female, then?

When I read that I had to check as well. My buddy at work was like yeah those are girl. I couldn't stop laughing

You mean that isn't Alexi Laiho's Japanese love child?

by **TPH** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 4:35 pm

Primal Fear

And I have something even better than a female-fronted japanese metal band: all-girl Japanese metal band!

Not everyone will be happy though, too much sulfuric acid

by **gorgatron** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 4:49 pm

The hint seems to point to Alestorm

by **metalmaciejmetal** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 4:51 pm

Now we're talking. Primal Fear!

by **bratoutofhell** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 5:04 pm

If it's female fronted you want we need Grindmother

by **Gratch** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 5:07 pm

You're bringing a band from Japan and it's not Sigh??? Goddammitsomuch.

Primal Fear. Meh.

Judging by the clue, the "A" could be Ahab as well, which would be rad. You can never get enough Moby Dick inspired doom.

YAAAAS

by **ExtraneouS** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 5:21 pm

While I would love for it to be Alestorm, Amon Amarth also fits the clue...

I am hoping Ahab. Never seen them live.

by **Razor Ramon** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 6:50 pm

PRIMAL FEAR

Come on Ahab!!

by **Pellaz** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 7:17 pm

Either Alestorm or Amon Amarth would be more than fine by me.

LOL, I've been wondering about them since they don't have a presence -- that I know of -- on the boat.

They let me mention 70K when I guest-deejayed on Sirius/XM Liquid Metal last year, so that was pretty cool. I was surprised they approved my script.

by **Shadow Son** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 7:55 pm

Multiple choice!

Will it be:

Abbath
Ahab
Alestorm
Amon Amarth
Arkona
Another wishlist band
Andy chose a band no one has heard of

I'd be happy with any of the bands I listed here.

Has Abinchova been ruled out? I missed them 2 years ago, and hear they put on a great show.

by **cowboy71** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 8:27 pm

Abinchova are a great bunch. Would be happy for them if they were back again as they were indeed fantastic live.

From my wishlist ALMANAC and ANCIENT BARDS would hurt if it was either of them.

I’m hoping for Amon Amarth, but I am expecting and would be fine with Alestorm.

by **bernabeit** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 9:07 pm

No wish list bands yet but i'm excited about the new bands i'm getting into like Aeternam, Wolfheart and Gyze. They are fucking prime!!!

Amon Amarth next would give me one!!

by **DragonLordJones** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 9:22 pm

wow within 12 hours 28 sections sold out - great job UMC for all the hard work you had to go through today to make sure we all got our booking confirmations

by **Rattini** » Sat Jul 08, 2017 4:25 am

From my point of view, the booking yesterday was a disaster

It took me approx. 2 hours until I managed to book my stateroom,
incredible that UMC is not able to ensure sufficient capacity for online booking,
quite unproffessional...

Nevertheless, Iam looking forward to be on board again

That's hilarious you thought so. Just dont look into the "all female" power metal band Versailles

Up until this year only people who where on The Majesty of The Seas could book this early.Given the fact that the boat capacity went from 2,000 -3,000 and repeat vacation cruisers are more likely to book,it was a disaster waiting to happen.Part 2 is going on now at UMC office as they try to complete the booking process.

by **MonicaMM** » Sat Jul 08, 2017 8:58 am

Abbath, please.
It's the only thing I ask.
Abbath. <3

Well of course I had to look.

by **Madkill** » Sat Jul 08, 2017 10:25 am

... Accept.

by **Sgt. B** » Sat Jul 08, 2017 12:46 pm

I am hoping for it to be Akercocke or another band with harsh vocals to piss off a certain person.

Akercocke Would Fucking make this Amazing but I would settle for Autopsy, Agoraphobic Nosebleed or the rebirth of Acid Bath

by **torpedo20** » Sat Jul 08, 2017 4:45 pm

The best announcement was already made:
We're going back to Turks!!!

Good times to be had. Any announcements afterwards are just rich & fat gravy on top!
