UMC just confirmed on FB that it’s the Indy once again, which is free for those dates (regular cruise on the 11th).

whatabout jeff waters and Annihilator? or will Victor Smolski of Almanac do the organising of the jam like he did in 2011?

Some history of the holiday gaps, from my records: 2016 39th announcement, Paradise Lost, on 10/2/15 40th announcement, Eluveitie, on 12/29/15 2017 37th announcement, Grave, on 8/20/16 38th announcement, Psycroptic, on 12/22/16 2018 45th announcement, Internal Bleeding, on 11/16/17 46th announcemen...

i didn't know that there is someone in the band who can organize the orchestra and there was no info before this annoucement that the LMO will exist anymore. i think they will play the old stuff, not the smolski-songs.
good announcement....

it could be so easy. andy tells us the reason why the announcements are late this year and everyone knows what is and what to do. could be easy, but we all know andy......

Listened to the "Good morning, how did you live?" album by Cryptex at work today. How exactly did those guys get booked? I mean I'm not saying they are bad at what they are doing but that simply isn't Metal!? Not in the "XXX Metal is no real Metal" way, but in the "that's n...

Peavey told a friend that Rage will be onbroad 2017. it will his 4th cruise, he likes it.....

it seems like Uli Roth likes Cruises. he'ss play at 70k and on Monsters of rock a few days later.....

STARKILL

OMG, the line up gets even worse for me... Finally it feels like BTH II. I have no hope for the last 10 to announce. Cripper Award needs to be shared by 10 to 15 bands this year. If I want to see a bunch of unknown bands I´d rather see a local festival in a small venue and pay around 15 bucks for g...

(As I recall, they said they'd been booked on the Saturday before last year's departure and, of course, famously announced DURING the beach-party, about 18 hours before boarding started. ) When i left the Majesty 2014 someone who's always really good informed told me that Blind Guardian and Winters...

i think 80 % of all bands are playing to tape in these days.

The Guys in the Printshop know all the Bands, the shirts have to printed a few days before departure. But i think it will be like last time, bands one the last evening. 2015 were 15 bands announced while i'm in Florida, 9 of them i never heard of. One reason why i saw less bands out of 60 than out o...

Starkill is touring with Moonspell and Epica before the Cruise. If they are onbroad they will be the Nr. 1 Cripper Award Band.....

They'll play all Songs fully live - no Playback.....
They only need 60 or 70 Musicans for it.....

7,5 Minutes are enough, or maybe 9. If Simone isn't singing/howling/screaming are 45 Minutes ok......

That would be nice, and would definitely fit!

There is no Chance to go to any Festival in Europe without Beyond the Black. Must have a very professional Management.....
they will play 4 times on the Full Metal Cruise III......

Thx for the very detailed Review, Craig. Some sounds good, some bad - the Thing that i see very critically is the percentage of Americans. After spending 12 Days in a Hotel in Dominican Republic with 80 % Americanos i don't prefer to spend 5 Days on a Boat with them. Much better with Metalheads from...

I love St. Maarten, been there 2 times to watch Planes.

But it's too far away and this is a Music Cruise and not a Sightseeing Cruise. So why not Labadee or Turks again. Or any other close Port without Tenders......

Fixed.....

What about March 31st - announcing Amon Amarth, Sabaton, Overkill and Nightwish.
No, sorry, Amon Amarth will be announced on the Day before the Cruise if it's still the Andy that we all know.....
