    That's pure evil, how much did Andy pay you to do that? I hope it's with the answer! :twisted:

    Oh fuck, that's a hard one. I wish I could reply either "any of the above" or "none of the above".
    I'm inclined towards "none of the above", but am unable to name a band.

    No, please stop with this. Mentioning Morbid Angel, and now Zimmers Hole, what are you trying to achieve by making me hope for awesome bands that won't get onboard? :cry:

    I saw Zimmers Hole opening for Strapping Young Lad in Paris 15 years ago, in a really small place (350 people, fully packed with Dev die-hards), one of the top3 best shows of my life.

    ...Or does?


    Andy should troll us even more by saying the last band starts with one of these letters: A,C,O,G

    And just leave that hanging for a week.

    My heart says Amon Amarth, my head says it's Candlemass. Or some hilarious curveball, like Sabaton jumping in on a helicopter

    Now you got my hopes up for the latter cause that would just be way to awesome! Surprise set on the pool deck, band flies in on helicopter..way better than their entrance on a tank!

    BloodSimple / Chimaira / Fear Factory / Machinehead / Spineshank
    Would give me a metal bonor, - but i have a feeling that most of these wouldn't hold water with a lot of the regular cruisers. - there's no accounting for taste.

    I was firmly in the Amon Amarth camp for a while - not for me because they're not really my type, but more for all the other people who are gunning for them. - I'm sure it's a good show & I'd probably pop along, but I doubt I would watch a whole set.
    I still think that's a viable announcement, just seems overly predictable now & a bit late to benefit ticket sales.

    Most likely I think it's Carcass, not sure why because I just do
    I was awaiting the Candlemass announcement & it just seems unlikely now. - If it was supposed to be a big 'surprise final announcement' ( as this seems to be being sold as, given there's no letter or anything) then Why would they put it on a poster last Sept. - it doesn't make sense.

    Sucks for my fiancee as Doom is her thing. - still, on the bright side, I get to say 'I told you so' as we had a huge discussion a few weeks back about definite locked in confirmed bands.
    Her view was that if it was on an official poster, then it is by virtue an official announcement.
    My argument was that the definitive up to date list is on the website & the print ad could have been a mistake, or something could have happened or whatever.

    I guess we'll know soon.

    I staying true by voting Amon Amarth but watch Andy throw a curve and announce Alestorm since they are in Florida working on their new album.

    I thought one of the Alestorm guys was touring with another project?

    I might be wrong but I seem to remember that as I really wanna get pissed up with those boys, - they seem like tons of fun, & I remember being disappointed when I read they were on the debunked list.

    What I understand is Chris is not touring with Gloryhammer right now...they have a stand-in. If that is the case then they are available.

    He's going to have a bonus band this year. So I think we'll get two of Amon Amarth, Candlemass, and/or Carcass. One will be announced soon, the other the day before we sail.
    I'm only here to do two things: play the bagpipes and gargle sulphuric acid. Looks like we're almost out of acid.

    I think bonus would more likely be a band like Alestorm

    I'm guessing/hoping the last band is gonna be Cripper. Along with an onbroad voting station for the Cripper award this year. The last few years it became an internet popularity contest with non-cruisers getting a say in the winner.

    Wintersun... déjà vu
    Carcass, Candlemass, Overkill: would be solid additions but underwhelming announcements at this point (less so for Carcass but still).
    IMHO it will either be Amon Amarth (or another major band we're not guessing) or just some random, unknown to most, Cripper-type band...
    And whoever it is I can't wait to board the boat, there are already so many bands I want to see that I won't care if the last one is a 0-setter ! :beerhorns:

    That's very interesting information. It also possibly explains the silence... that means that something got picked up last minute. I'm going to flip my guess to Carcass then.

    Interesting to see that out of 27 votes so far, only 3 think it's gonna be Candlemass. Not really much people considering they were leaked :D

    Now with the explanations above it seems clearer that it won't be them, though.

    Also, it seems like many people are interpreting the Carcass post as a clue... we'll see if they're right.

    that's because he uses Autotune now ( I'm 99% sure) - When I heard some of the cleans from the last album live - I swear I could hear phasing on the vocals.

    & yeah, - His voice is just wrecked, - even the footage of them doing Scumgrief at Dynamo in the min 90's he was losing it then. I think it's just the transitions between his growl & the clean singing - Not too many vocalists can pull that off really well anyway, - but they pioneered it.

    Anyway, - I think it was scumgrief - it was on the DVD. - can't find it on youtube though :(

    I too, am curious. I actually hope this is not the case. I was hoping that, since we could potentially have the full lineup early, we might get a schedule soon. It would be nice to have that at least a week ahead of time.

    What Andy should do is release the schedule now with a mystery band in 2 of the slots.

    That's what I'm thinking might happen. Or if acidbasement is right and we get a bonus, announce the 60th (Carcass or nobody), release the schedule, have an extra band on the schedule with question marks in the name. That would be rad, therefore it's fantasy booking and Roman Reigns is winning the Rumble.

    Problem is it might give away how big the band is depending on time slot. I think he's gonna wanna keep the suspense high!

    I'm betting Carcass for the 60th band. Then either Overkill or Amon Amarth as a bonus band, since we're going to need to fill up a couple weeks' worth of announcements.

    I really don't think we're going to get either Candlemass or Wintersun. Holding back Candlemass for the final announcement after they were so widely leaked and Avatarium was announced makes no sense - even by Andy standards :p. And if I was a betting woman, I'd bet that Wintersun won't be doing high-profile live gigs until the new album is out and their live lineup is ready to go.

    Is Grand Magus big enough to be held back as a bonus band? I'm unfamiliar with them; I'd be interested in other people's opinions on this.

    That's actually only slightly more than Einherjer and way fewer than Candlemass, who most seemed to agree would be an underwhelming final announcement. Anything's possible, but if he's intentionally holding back a big name (and it certainly seems like he is), I really doubt it's Grand Magus.
