new album is called "Darkness Remains"

I'd enjoy having them added to the lineup. Since they currently share a bass player, it is one step closer to getting Cirith Ungol.

Night Demon is in Europe with Accept during the cruise... :(

The ship of nails, NAGLFAR, emerges from the dark foggy distance... to join you, 2,999 of the craziest Metalheads from around the Globe and 59 other heavy hitting Metal bands onbroad 70000TONS OF METAL 2018, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise!

"E"ver more darkness or shall we switch to a lighter shade?

by **General Zod** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 3:53 pm

Naglfar is a real strong announcement.

Evrgrey next... meh.

by **cowboy71** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 4:18 pm

**POINTS AT AVATAR AGAIN**

Please be Evertale :)

by **mooyagi** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 4:22 pm

Woohoo! Wishlist band!

by **sara** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 4:27 pm

Fuck yes! Naglfar! What a dark and sinister boat we have this year.

by **TPH** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 4:27 pm

Naglfar

by **Phoenix** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 4:30 pm

I should probably check them out, since there's a reasonable chance they're up my alley.

Still sad it's not Novembre though. :(

by **TPH** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 4:38 pm

Now, the only band I'd really love to see added on the boat would be Morbid Angel, as they had to cancel their European tour in November. And Sulphur Aeon as well, of course.

Mandatory +1 to Sulphur Aeon request.

As for Naglfar,

by **DrinkMoxie** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 5:15 pm

Naglfar aren't a band I am a big fan of, but a great announcement for certain...
You know, Andy, a lineup like this is shaping up to be legendary, just need a band like Borknagar to really up the ante

by **Razor Ramon** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 5:58 pm

NAGLFAR

Another wishlist band!!

Come on Evocation next!

by **Pellaz** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 6:22 pm

Damnit, I was gonna post some sort of "ship of nails" quip ("Naglfar on the ship? Andy nailed it!") and he beat me to the punch.
DAMN YOUUUUUUUU

Next clue certainly does seem to hint at Evergrey, but....we've been down this road before.
If it IS Evergrey they'll need to add additional beer storage.

by **bodomdragon** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 11:10 pm

This time it HAS to be Evergrey!

Very interesting. After the hurricanes rocked the Caribbean islands, it seems the Grand Turks island will not be ready for us. Glad to see the Skipper's quick thinking and changed the itinerary to the Plains Of Vígríðr. I can't seem to find that on the map though

by **acidbasement** » Thu Oct 26, 2017 8:59 am

I predict that every "E" band tease henceforth will point to Evergrey, and none will actually turn out to be Evergrey.
I'm hoping for Edguy.

by **MasterMcDuff** » Thu Oct 26, 2017 4:01 pm

It's clear that the next band is going to be Equilibrium, playing 'Born to Be Epic' on repeat for 2 full sets.

Except for the minor fact that Equillibrium were on broad this year and 70K never ever repeat bands year-on-year

Don't EVEN joke about that.

Right now Grand Turk is limited to one cruise ship per day instead of two. Hope they can get back to full operation by February!

Damnit, yep. They could change their name temporarily to EquilAbrium and be contractually required to play "Mana" in its glorious 17-minute entirety.

Awesome song*, and best music video ever*!

by **Andy** » Thu Oct 26, 2017 8:28 pm

When we sailed to Grand Turk in 2013 we had EVERGREY onbroad with us. Now that 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise will return to this Caribbean dream destination we do so once again with EVERGREY! Make sure you don't miss this for the second time!

There's more to "B"e had, stay tuned and find out!

by **acidbasement** » Thu Oct 26, 2017 9:10 pm

BOAT!

by **DrinkMoxie** » Thu Oct 26, 2017 9:23 pm

Could it "B"e Borknagar?!

by **slayergeek** » Thu Oct 26, 2017 10:48 pm

I would be thrilled with

Battlecross
Black Dahlia Murder
Bloodbath
or Brujeria

I don't believe he gave much of a clue other then it starts with a B

by **Yippee38** » Fri Oct 27, 2017 12:41 am

BEhemoth.

by **TPH** » Fri Oct 27, 2017 1:10 am

Evergrey

by **Ethrivas** » Fri Oct 27, 2017 2:25 am

Be'lakor
Brymir
Behemoth

or Blind Guardian if all else fails.

by **Razor Ramon** » Fri Oct 27, 2017 3:23 am

EVERGREY

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

by **Phoenix** » Fri Oct 27, 2017 6:47 am

Hmm, what could be fun... Borknagar, if Andy managed to fix whatever issues he had with them, Behemoth, Black Crown Initiate, Be'lakor could also be fun...

So I guess it's going to be Blind Guardian.

by **Sgt. B** » Fri Oct 27, 2017 8:51 am

Hoping for one of the following

Barren Earth
Behemoth
Be'lakor
Black Breath
Black Dahlia Murder
Black Fast
Black Trip
Bloodbath
Borknagar
Brainstorm

LOL Damn! Plan foiled. I forgot they played last year.

This suits me just fine. MUCH prefer Mana / Sagas over their latest endeavor. :/

Agreed.

by **zerkz** » Fri Oct 27, 2017 9:56 am

Please be Be'lakor.

by **stevep52** » Fri Oct 27, 2017 10:18 am

It would be great to have Bell Witch added. They could then play Mirror Reaper in its entirety.

I am not really a huge doom fan, but this album is incredible. One 83 minute song and I do not get bored with it. Definitely an AoY candidate.

by **Gratch** » Fri Oct 27, 2017 11:00 am

zerkz wrote:Please be Be'lakor.

The way they wrote the clue makes me think Be'lakor is next.

I'd be good with Behemoth, Bell Witch, or Blood Red Throne too.

I agree that it's amazing, but it's also a little frustrating. The opportunities (and patience) I have to listen to a full 83 minute track are typically close to zero.

I've listened to the first 20-30 minutes at least a dozen times, but haven't made it past that very often.
