The Official 70000TONS OF METAL 2018 Megathread

[Sgt. B]

....

And....another "S" band?

BRING US SULPHUR AEON

Mandatory +1

[Sgt. B]

Will you be "S"ilent, or will you yell at the top of your lungs when we reveal who joins us next?

Could it be Silent Scream? Obscure old thrash band that reunited in the last year or so.

[Phoenix]

This next band is NOT Silent Civilian.

It's probably Suicide Silence.

Is Suicide Silence going to be this year's Devildriver? ::sigh::

I'd really rather Silent Civilian was this year's Devildriver, but not a lot of people other than me have ever heard of them sooooo.

[cowboy71]

Weenie, female fronted, symphonic band that I've never seen live.

Thanks, Skipper!

[Monmisreal]

Meh! Lepond loves the boat. Maybe Silent Assassins unless hes ruled out for touring with one of the hundred bands he's playing with.

I was a fan of Spineshank back in my younger years, so I do know who they are. I haven't ever looked up any music from them though.

[Razor Ramon]

THRESHOLD


AMBERIAN DAWN


I like a lot of girly bands, but not this one..

[Pellaz]

My off-the-cuff thought was Silent Force, although Silent Civilian could be a possibility.

I don't expect it to be Suicide Silence (whew), but I also don't expect it to be Satyricon (alas and damnit). Maybe it's Samon Samarth.

[Bolt_Thrower]

Hoping for Shrinebuilder. Did I mention the lack of psychedelic doom?

[Razor Ramon]

Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy

[MasterMcDuff]

CMON ANDY! Samon Samarth is easily one of my top 3 wishlist bands. Somsviking is an amazing album.

For reals though, it doesn't fit the clue at all (All signs point to Silent Scream) but I'd love to see Suidakra make it on this cruise.

Have not seen them live in like 10 years
I would welcome them abroad

I have not seen them live since the beginning of the universe. I would also welcome them abroad.
It would be Darkane Times indeed!

[UltimoAviso]

I dont see it being suicide silence. they are tanking HARD. Tonight show in has now become all but a free show. All you have to do is email the venue and they will add you and however many people you want to the guest list. One guy has 43 guest list spots reserved Ive personally never been a fan either but there was a bit of outrage about their last album on social media.

[Andy]

SIRENIA will draw you into the madness of 70000TONS OF METAL. These gothic masterminds of Melodic Metal will entrance you twice onbroad The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise, once while we journey to our Caribbean dream destination Grand Turk and once on our return voyage to Florida!

Will you be among us as we "E"ndure pandemonium on the high seas in February?

[acidbasement]

Cool.
Now I'm really hoping the next one is Edguy.

[DragonLordJones]

Entrails would get me all goo goo eyed .... please be Entrails

[Bolt_Thrower]

Sirenia? At least it’s not Taylor Swift. Barely.

How about Emperor next?

[Mark]

Emperor was fantastic at Wacken this year, would love to have them.
Edguy would be a 2 setter as well, with Avantasia in hiatus and no tour dates in 2018 so far they could very well make it this time.

[Yippee38]

Sirenia? At least it’s not Taylor Swift. Barely.

[Ethrivas]

Eternal Tears of Sorrow, come on Andy!

[TPH]

Sirenia

Eternal Tears of Sorrow

This is what happened to me when I saw the 70K notification this morning.

[Azazel101]

Edge of Sanity reunion

[Mr.Kito]

not a fan.

but a good add to the line up, i know a few people who will be glad when they see it

[Ethrivas]

Eternal Tears of Sorrow

This is what happened to me when I saw the 70K notification this morning.

HAHAHAHA Good one

[mbob]

Ex Deo!

If not then...
Edguy!

If not then any of these...
Eluveitie
Ensiferum
Epica
Exodus

[Phoenix]

Eternal Tears of Sorrow

This is what happened to me when I saw the 70K notification this morning.

Yeah really.

That being said I will accept EToS as penance.

[epartos]

Evile!! Please!!!

[slayergeek]

I am sure none of these fit the clue...other then starting with E...but here is who I would like to see

Exhumed
Exmortus
Exodus

[JoAnnamayhem]

Sirenia...mleh

Eluveitie
EToS
Ensiferum

[Sgt. B]

None of these will happen, but I'd like:

Electric Wizard
Emperor
Entombed (Alex/Nicke/Uffe version)

[bodomdragon]

Eclipse? No? Okay...

[Pellaz]

Sirenia....not a huge fan, but I sometimes use one of their songs ("Lithium And A Lover") as an opening song on my radio show.

I'm "e"xcited at the possibilities for an "E" band.

Unlikely, but woah!: Emperor, Exhumed, Entombed, Edge of Sanity
Possible awesomeness: Eluveitie, Exmortus, Exodus, Ensiferum (might make them the most-appearing band at 70K?), Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Edguy, Ex Deo

[mooyagi]

I recall them being on in the past but I didn't realize it was just this past cruise. I'm pretty sure I made it into a set but I don't remember a damn thing. http://70000tons.com/history/line-up-stats-2017/

So this kills the no immediate repeats rule.

[stevep52]

I could definitely go for Emperor or Exhumed.

I are dumb. Sirenia, not Serenity. Too similar. Assholes.

[Razor Ramon]

SIRENIA


If this was At Sixes And Sevens era Sirenia I would be losing my shit over this. All their new shit has been generic garbage. I'll check them out, maybe they still play something old.


E, Evocation or Ereb Altor..

[sara]

I've counted 3 weenie bands since I said the weenies could have the next 5. You now have 2. Then it's on.

[Gratch]

Edge of Sanity reunion

Playing Crimson in its entirety for the first set, and Purgatory Afterglow for the second.

Hey, a guy can dream, right?
