70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise will set sail from Florida to beautiful Grand Turk on board a 154,000ton luxury cruise liner. If you are not joining us onbroad one thing will be certain... you will be IN MOURNING!

Don't be "S"ad, we have more announcements for you on the way...

Well, I am A little Suicidal

[big perken]

Come on sadus

[DrinkMoxie]

Sacrifice, Skyfire, Subterranean Masquerade, Sigh...

[sara]

I really want Shade Empire or Stormtroopers of Beer, though that second request is possibly fanciful. I'll take Solstice for some thrash, though.

I feel like I'm missing some others I'd like to add, but that's what jumped out at me right away. So many "S" bands, though.

[Madkill]

... Soilwork.

[alex_canada]

Razor, this band isn't good!

[Phoenix]

... Soilwork.

I actually really want this, it's like the only band left on my bucketlist.

As for In Mourning, 8.5/10 not In Vain. Pretty damn good, but could be better.

[Razor Ramon]

IN MOURNING

[Razor Ramon]

Razor, this band isn't good!

Do you need a Pepsi? Maybe you should talk about it, you might feel better.

[Gratch]

For every "S" band announced that isn't Sigh, I bite the head off a kitten.

The fate of the kittens is in your hands!!

(Disclaimer: no actual kittens were harmed in the making of this post)

70K, I feel like you're not taking this situation seriously. Do the right thing here. Think of the kittens.



(once again: no actual kittens were harmed in the making of this post)

Let’s not make ourselves relive this previous...unpleasantness, 70k.

It’s in your hands.

You've had three chances now, 70K. Do not test my patience further.

Announce Sigh as the next "S" band, and we can put all of this behind us.

[mooyagi]

I like this band. Definitely will catch a set.

[Disco]

S.O.D.?

I know that's a pipe dream but would still be awesome,

[Razor Ramon]

Razor wants Sulphur Aeon.

[sara]

S.O.D.?

I know that's a pipe dream but would still be awesome,

They did a few shows with a modified line-up as Stormtroopers of Beer, and I saw one at MDF last year. I'd be super excited if they came on, but who knows.

[TPH]

*gif awaiting for a few listens before having an opinion*

Razor wants Sulphur Aeon.

I second that. I will ALWAYS second that.

But someone mentioned then before, Sadus would also be more than welcome.

[Sgt. B]

S.O.D.?

I know that's a pipe dream but would still be awesome,

Anthrax is on tour during the cruise. That takes out half of the band.

They did a few shows with a modified line-up as Stormtroopers of Beer, and I saw one at MDF last year. I'd be super excited if they came on, but who knows.

Stormtroopers of Beer was/is a tribute band that featured one member of S.O.D., Dan Lilker. The other guys were from General Surgery & Severe Torture, I think. They were great, but it was not the quite the same as when I saw S.O.D. years ago.

Ha, right, everyone tells me Lilker is the sort of dude to sign up for anything, so long as it's playing metal. That figures. Tribute or not, it was fun. I know Ian and Milano weren't there, I just didn't realize there was only one original member.

[Warphine]

Looks like Scour is the next band. \m/ \m/

Would be cool if we got Misery Index as well.

[Godflesh]

Scour being just a speculation, I suggest that further discussion about them should go to the Rumours and Predictions thread, where I’ve posted the same thing.
Also, I’d like all male cats to align on the left, please*

Does such an obvious leak like that ever upset Andy, you think? To my knowledge, none of the bands spoiled in Metal Hammer have played, have they?

I know Carcass did something similar last year, but still.

The last time Phil got bumped, Hellfest ended up with A Perfect Circle as a replacement, so shush!
(I’m breaking my own recommendation, so fuck it, lol)

[Ethrivas]

Very good addition.

For the S band, Satyricon, Shade empire, Skyfire, The Seer would be awesome.
Selbst is also a possibility (also Cripper material)

[bodomdragon]

Fuck yeah, great announcement, and the only wishlist band announced I still haven't watched live - besides Aeternam, but I like these guys much better. Couldn't get any better!!!

[headlinerluxi]

there is already enough "cripper" options on the boat...not that many big names, even if the announcements are ok for me, i would rather like 1-2 bigger names

Psycroptic was leaked in Metal Hammer last year and was the next band announced.

Were the 'big' bands you refer to less enjoyable before they became popular?

[Pellaz]

IN MOURNING

Huh.

<blink>

I was kinda expecting fireworks or something.


Really like what I've heard from In Mourning....solid add.

"S" will probably be Scour but I'd much rather it be Satyricon. Not quite enough black-metal on the boat.

yes,...some of them were...some became it over the years...

for me it is also a challenge each year to discover new bands, but would prefer then to see some older bands as well, if you understand what i mean.....

i have not prob with the announcements..believe me...but some older bigger names to announce would be appreciated

[JoAnnamayhem]

Sulphur Aeon or Soreption! Did anybody see the facebook post about the Scour bathing suits being available for the cruise? Does anyone think that this could potentially be a leak for the "S" band or just random?

You gotta read all the comments.

[cegr80]

In Mourning sounds amazing! (good taste, Serafino!) Will most definitely catch one of their sets

Hoping the Scour rumor becomes true!

[TPH]

In Mourning



I have to say, I expected something better, Raazor is usually trustworthy, but it's a fail here.

Agreed! There is a lack of bignames compared to other years.

[Warphine]

Yaaaaaaaaaas!

You must be listening to the wrong songs... In Mourning is quite reminiscent of old Opeth (both in style and quality). From what I've seen you post previously, I would think you'd quite enjoy them.

Try 'Ashen Crown', 'The Drowning Sun', 'The Call to Orion', 'A Vow to Conquer the Ocean', and 'From a Tidal Sleep'.

Report back!

This is what I've tried first, as you posted the same link earlier. And I find the production absolutely terrible, and the songwriting just above generic.

On the other side, I've listened to the songs Downvod mentioned, and these songs are already way better. So yeah, they will get something between a 2 and a 3 in the rank bank.

Yeah, I agree. Sorry Razor, Monolith is not my favourite thing they've ever done. With the exception of that first song.
