It is fixed now.

Margie - all this booking talk reminds me of the booking frenzy for the 2012 cruise! That was insane, but of course it all worked out. Will really miss going with you in 2013 :( - I know you'll have an awesome metal time!

Laura, I will miss you too. :( You will have a blast on Barge!

by **BloodRedMike** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:44 am

Meh. I'm going to wait before booking. This announcement didn't spark my interest.

As a tradition, 70000TONS OF METAL begins it's long journey in the Baltic Sea.

Metalheads from around the world: Welcome once again to Finland! Please welcome TURISAS!

11 out of 40 and counting...

by **EvilDan** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:23 pm

Oh, fuck. Here it go.

by **Ecliptica** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:26 pm

Whoa, looks like my old post got deleted/I posted the same time as Andy.

What I said was: "This is definitely a good way to kick off sales. . .

Turisas was absolutely at the top of my wishlist for the 2011 and 2012 cruises, but after seeing them at Paganfest, they were a shell of their former selves. Didn't even put them in my top 25.

That being said, if I end up going I'll almost certainly catch both sets."

by **mooyagi** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:27 pm

Not a fan of them. Seen 'em once, was pretty fun but nothing to get excited about. I'd go to a set if I make it on the cruise. Should make a few people happy at least.

by **STACH100** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:35 pm

Booking confirmed!
But a warning to you who live in Illinois, they do NOT accept credit cards from your state!

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
WELL FUCK ME RUNNING LOOKS LIKE IM GOING ON 70K 2013.
Guess I'll just live in my car in Seattle. Seriously I have to go. Unggghhhhhh

by **ShoreSlayer** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:59 pm

Not a major fan but SUPER happy for those who are! Turisas have been mentioned here many times over the past cpl years and I'm confident that this announcement will convince a number of round 1 & 2 vets to return a third time. I put them on my wishlist for those who are big fans so I hope some good karma kicks in as a result lol.

Personally, I'm just glad the virtual majesty is sailing and picking up bands once again

by **Captain Alex** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 3:24 pm

I'm not a fan but it seems their gigs could turn into a unexpected great amount of drink & fun as it was with Eluveitie this past january

by **Stained Class** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 3:55 pm

Hmmm...at this rate I may have to go on both. So far 70k is winning (proportionally/percentage wise). I'm already booked for Barge.

Barge looks killer too.

...learning to? This is common knowledge in Canada

by **KDibildeaux** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 4:13 pm

Haven't heard them but will probably check out a set

by **STACH100** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 4:35 pm

I just listened to Hellstar, they sound damn good!

by **nekrobarr** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 5:04 pm

My better half is extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemely excited about Turisas. She's happy, which means I'm happy.

I definitely have some homework to do regarding most of the initial 70k lineup. Even though it didn't blow me away right away, I do like the fact that there are more bands that I'm unfamiliar with and have not seen perform live.

No Moneyboookers is the company that take UMC's credit card payments and they are having a problem with Illinois.
This screwed me because I get great reward points with my card.

Lets hope they get this resolved "soon".

Hah, guess I moved away from Chicago at a good time!

Yes, you have to go! The drool brigade would not be complete without you.

I am excited too! Love them.

This is one from my wishlist. Thanks Andy!

by **rwalters** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:43 pm

I just looked at the 70K band list so far then thought about DrinkMoxie (who is far more geared for the Barge cruise) and just started laughing alot.

I can't wait until Amaranthe gets added!!!

how am I geared towards Barge... I actually HATE most of those bands... only ones they have that I like are At The Gates, Hypocrisy, Sodom, Paradise Lost and C.O.C.
all the rest are crap to me

by **rwalters** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:48 pm

5/26 is better than 0/11 bro.

YOUR CLOUD CONNECTED!!!

by **DrinkMoxie** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:51 pm

look at my wishlist... most of those bands do not fit Barge mission statement

Yesssssssssssssss BATTLE METAL

by **rwalters** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:59 pm

Most of those bands aren't getting added anyways (Dimension Zero for example), but the ones that have a decent shot:

Powerwolf - 70k
Kalmah - 70K
Neurosis - Neither, but Barge
Darkane- Barge
TheCrown- Barge
Agalloch- Barge
Sigh- Either
Firewind - 70K
Anata- Barge
Bal*Sagoth- Barge
MorsPrincipiumEst- Either but more likely Barge
BoltThrower- Barge
Goatwhore - Barge
Revocation- Either
Melechesh- Barge
Kreator- Barge
NightInGales- 70K
MiseryIndex- Barge
SpiralArchitect- 70K, but I don't think they even tour
Vildhjarta- Either, more likely Barge
Witchery- Barge
Heidevolk - Either
EphelDuath - Barge

Any arguement of Melodeath bands aren't on Barge.... Hello Soilwork! (now Wicherless again)

Oh yeah.... NP: IN FLAMES - QUIET PLACE

by **mooyagi** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:02 pm

Off that list, gimme Agalloch, Sigh, Goatwhore and Melechesh for Barge and I'd be one happy Mooyagi.

by **DJ Old Man Stares** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:14 pm

I'm fine with this announcement. Hopefully they play better than they did when they were in town last April. I like Turisas enough to enjoy this. Still, ANDY, please give me that thrash that I crave!!! Give me RAZOR or give me Death!!!

by **Badgerbomb300** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:29 pm

Quick wish list:

Repeats: Amon Amarth, Testament, Ensiferum, and Alestorm (I know no repeats from the year before, but they belong playing at sea)

New Bands: Kreator, Arch Enemy, Heidevolk, King Diamond, GWAR, Dalriada, Hamatom, Mokoma
