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.

Yeah, Jarvis is the mean. Been lucky enough to meet the CU guys and swap stories and got to see them live last year. Im happy to see them finally getting the recognition they deserve.

Cirith Ungol would be neet, and they seem to be getting a renewed buzz lately. Gotta love a band whose name comes from LotR but whose albums focus more on Michael Moorcock's Elric saga.

Many years ago now (but also many years after the vinyl record had come out) I called the "For more info about the band call" phone number on the back of one of the record jackets, just for the hell of it and not expecting anything but a wrong number.
A few seconds later drummer Robert Garven answered; he was at dinner with his family.

We chatted for a bit and he got my info and said he'd send me a sticker. That was really cool and unexpected.
I never did get the sticker, though.

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.

by **Sgt. B** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 4:50 pm

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.

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 **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
