I hope he continues to announce bands grouped by their first letter. It will be just like a heavy metal Sesame Street. "This round of announcements brought to you by the letter A."

I believe you. :) Looking forward to catching you on the boat next year my friend.

I might catch a set. They're just not my usual metal faire.

For the love of all that's evil, Skipper, will you give us Amon Amarth or won't you?!

As on pervious years of The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise you will witness Heavy Metal history being made during Jamming With Waters In International Waters, 70000TONS OF METAL’s epic All Star Jam hosted by guitar mastermind Jeff Waters. Next year for Round 7 however he’ll be on double duty onbroad since he’s coming with his band ANNIHILATOR.

We will be back with some more “A’s” soon… but the next one starts with the letter “H”

by **Laura** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 9:15 pm

Woot! I'm super stoked since by the time I step abroad again in 2017 it will be 5 years since the last time:..'about time - haha.

by **deathmetalpat** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 9:16 pm

HYPOCRISY or Helloween ,can you tell which one I would like?

by **Sgt. B** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 9:16 pm

Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy. Please be Hypocrisy.

by **acidbasement** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 9:17 pm

H?

Here's hoping it's Haggard.

by **DragonLordJones** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:04 pm

Hypocrisy - they were going to play Barge but pulled out at the last minute (some emergency or something) so they are do

but I'll take Heidevolk too

by **Andy** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:05 pm

Hailing from Germany, this orchestral ensemble merges Heavy Metal with Classical Music! Please welcome HAGGARD onbroad Round 7 of 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise!

Things are getting heavier around here… our sixth announcement begins with an “N”

by **deathmetalpat** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:08 pm

Good one for me,they need the bigger boat looks like 7 bands at this rate.

by **mooyagi** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:11 pm

Haggard was excellent last time. I'm excited to see them again.

by **Mark** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:13 pm

This looks pretty good so far...

by **Jotunheimr** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:16 pm

If this isn't a sign that I'm getting my ass back on this boat, then I don't know what is.

by **deathmetalpat** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:19 pm

Okay how ruled out are Nightwish?Because the 2012 line-up started with 7 and I think they where in the first 7 ,I know they where in the first 10.Nightwish would seal it for me and I have already sent a message to France hoping my former cruise mate is going.

by **Sidvarg** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:22 pm

I don't think it would be Nightwish... Even though that would be utterly amazing for me... But i guess it will be something more extreme since he said things are heading heavier

by **Pellaz** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:27 pm

Ne Obliviscaris!

J/k, I'd regard NeO as highly unlikely.....but fucking awesome.

by **Sgt. B** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:29 pm

I'm guessing Nile is next.

I would love if it were Nails.

by **deathmetalpat** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:31 pm

Almost everything on the ship will be heavier than Haggard.

by **Pellaz** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:37 pm

"Heavy metal and classical music," saith the topic now.

Yay, it's NTherion!

by **Godflesh** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:42 pm

So would I, few bands are heavier than Nails, and they have a great new album out.

by **biertroll** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:46 pm

Bet it's Nile but I would like NMagrudergrind or NDying Fetus.

Ps. Holy shit announcements!

by **Andy** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 11:10 pm

Sailors! Prepare your necks as we welcome Technical Death Metal masters NILE back onbroad 70000TONS, The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise. They’ll send you through the Gate of Sethu once on the way to Haiti, and once on the way back!

What could we have in store for you next? The letter “T” is your clue…

by **DragonLordJones** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 11:14 pm

Testament - please .... then booking codes.

by **Sgt. B** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 11:17 pm

Testament and/or Therion please.

by **deathmetalpat** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 11:19 pm

Therion , so I can go to sleep.

by **Mark** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 11:31 pm

You give us Therion - I give you all my money. Is good Deal!

by **biertroll** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 11:36 pm

Testament and booking codes!!!

(So I can go to sleep)

by **mgrock** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 11:38 pm

I think it could be Tankard.

by **Pellaz** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 11:40 pm

Testament would be cool; Therion would be knocking it outta the park. And a nice way to head to bed tonight.

by **Godflesh** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 11:50 pm

Nile is awesome. Hoping for Tankard next, since Kreator, Destruction and Sodom are pretty much ruled out.
But Triptykon would be awesome too.

by **Godflesh** » Fri Jul 08, 2016 12:06 am

The titles from Andy's announcements could have been clues on their own, albeit easy ones.

by **Andy** » Fri Jul 08, 2016 12:42 am

Bear witness to the magick of THERION onbroad Round 7 of 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise! They’ll dazzle you with grand occult compositions as we journey to our Caribbean dream destination next February.

Don’t rest easy just yet, the letter “G” has appeared before us as a clue to figure out what the next artist may be…

by **Jimbo2392** » Fri Jul 08, 2016 12:50 am

Don't rest on the next announcement because they know how to party....please welcome Gloryhammer next?!

by **bodomdragon** » Fri Jul 08, 2016 12:53 am

Fuck yeah!!! Great lineup so far!!!!

Next one, probably God Dethroned or Grave Digger... "meh" for me.

by **Mark** » Fri Jul 08, 2016 12:56 am

Yes!
Gloryhammer next please!? Consider me hooked...

by **Pellaz** » Fri Jul 08, 2016 1:04 am

Therion! Fuck yeah! Gives me a good excuse to play 'em later tonight on the radio!

<insert Razor Ramon's "awesome announcement!" pic here>

(Speaking of which, where is he? I'm jonesing for those pics.

)

Gloryhammer?
Gojira?
Graveworm?
Gravedigger?
God Dethroned?
Gotthard?
Gorgoroth?
GammaRay?

by **bodomdragon** » Fri Jul 08, 2016 1:12 am

Gamma Ray is not an option unfortunately. Gloryhammer would make bodomdragon a very, very happy dragon, but my bets are on God Dethroned or Grave Digger.

by **Godflesh** » Fri Jul 08, 2016 1:28 am

Gojira would book my suite, but the "Don’t rest easy just yet" clue points to Gravedigger.
