    That plus the preparty, 2 Vika sets and 1 All Star Jam (saw the full 2 hours) that's like 44.5 hours of metal in 5 days. Cawazy
    That's still a lot haha amazingly I didn't miss anyone that I really wanted to see! Wasn't choked about the Evergrey half set because they played nothing from the first 4 albums.

    so, you saw both Dragonforce sets... does that mean they were truthful about being determined to play well live again?

    You guys are insane. 3 inches of blood was easily one of the best sets (both times but the one in the spectrum was jam packed. Nowhere to sit and barely anywhere to stand. One of the loudest too.

    Onslaught was really good. One of my favs. The pool deck set was just right on. In flames was good. Kreator kicked ass.

    Helstar was a huge surprise. Didnt know much about em but they thoroughly surpassed my expectations.

    Saw way more but cant remember it all right now.

    Lastly. Anacrusis killed it on the last day on the pool deck. You guys sounded fucking awesome and what an awesome way to go out. Glad i got to see it! Hope you record a few new tunes and put em out. Would love to hear what you come up with.

    1/28
    Helstar - easily an 8. They sounded great and was a perfect way to start the cruise.
    Sabaton - an easy 10 for me as they are one of my favorites. Had to leave Helstar early and it was a no brainer
    Helloween - Haha, from what I heard they wounded awful. I was there (very hammered) and they sounded great to me. That being said, I will give them a 7 for this. The lack of diversity in their two sets and the non inclusion of Helloween/Keeper of the Seven Keys or any of the epics was upsetting too.
    Dragonforce - another easy 10. Blew us all away
    Metal Church - another 10 for me, they sounded great and it was a fabulous set
    Turisas - They get an easy 9. It was so late and they were so good and fun

    1/29
    Arkona - Solid 8. This was a band I never heard of before the cruise. Made it well worth me waking up "early" for this
    Ensiferum - This one gets 9. Not only did it temporarily cure my hangover, but it was the best, most intense Star Wars mosh pit ever
    Angra - 10. Simply amazing. Fabio never disappoints and the rest of the band was spectacular
    Evergrey - Solid 9. I'm a big fan and they sounded amazing
    Rage and LMO - another 10 for me. I love Rage and i think they sounded great with the orchestra
    Kreator - 9 - They are not one of my favorites but I was blown away. I was only intending on catching a few songs but had to stay for the whole set.
    In Flames - 7 - A huge fan of their old stuff (which they didn't play much of). But they sounded great and i really enjoyed it

    1/30
    Turasis - 10 - Great way to start the day! Was hammered from the beach and had a blast
    Angra - 10 - Loved the wasted years cover and was a great overall show
    Metal Church - 10 - Makes going to church actually sound good (only the metal kind) STAIR MOSH PIT
    Tyr - 9 - Barely remember this at all but I know I had a great time
    Ensiferum - Another solid 9 - great set
    Helloween - 9 - I could tell that they sounded great out there on the pool deck. But i'm still very disappointed for the lack of diversity and epics
    Lacuna Coil - Was wasted and caught a few songs. Can't give them a proper ranking
    Heidevolk - 9 - These guys were great but I was so shot. Jumped in the middle for a little but sat a lot. Sucks to play so late because they were great and I was shot
    Helstar - 9 - They sounded great, but again I was exhausted. Sucks cause it was empty

    1/30
    Anacrusis - 8 - Was very glad I was able to catch this set. Really enjoyed it.
    Cryptopsy - 5 - Not really a fan but they definitely sounded better live
    3 Inches of Blood - 9 - They sounded awesome. Also loved the Tom Sawyer bit they did
    Arkona - 8 - Another great show
    Evergrey - 9 - Hard to pick which show that the did was actually better. Loved both
    Tiamat - 7 - Not really my style but enjoyed the songs that I was able to catch
    Dragonforce - Easy 10. They are one of my favorites abroad and they kicked major ass and played a great set
    Rage and LMO - Another 10. Rocked out with Fabio during this one while sharing liquor i smuggled on with him which made it even more epic
    In Flames - Solid 8. Upset I missed Pinball Map but I've seen them play it before. Even with a newer set I really enjoyed it and thought they sounded great
    Kreator - 9 - Based on their first performance I had to catch this one and was very glad i did
    SABATON - 70000 - Holy Shit what an amazing way to end the cruise. I wanted to catch Flotsam and Jetsam after them but i expended all my energy and it was well worth it. Can't wait to see these guys again in Tampa tonite

    Overall it was simply amazing. No downside except the year we have to wait for another :cry:
    Bands I wish I saw that I didnt
    Holy Grail (just too fucking late and I couldn't do it)
    Onslaught - Really wanted to see them but couldn't work it out
    Flotsam and Jetsam - Same, really thought I would catch their last set and it just couldn't happen
    Nightmare - Prob one I am most upset about missing. It was too early and I was too hungover
    DAR - another one I just couldnt work into my schedule
    Steel Engraved - couldnt fit them in either

    33/82 and most were full sets

    Tiamat 1x - Not really my style but I liked the set - 6
    Turisas 2x - Another band I had a blast during - 9
    3 Inches of Blood 1x - While I am not their biggest fan, I did find them to be a fun band to see - 7
    Arkona 2x - For a band I had never heard of before I really liked them - 9
    Evergrey 2x - This band is much better live than on album - 8
    Angra 2x - When I checked out the band before the cruise I probably would have given them a 4 or 5 but with Fabio leading they definitely got an 8
    Ensefirum 2x - Such an awesome live band - 9
    Tyr 1x - Although I barely remember seeing them, I know from past years they are a godo band to see - 7
    Cryptopsy 1x - I only checked out this band due to an inside joke - Normally they would get a 0 but since it was funny to me I'll give them a 4
    Anacrusis 1x - Not really my style of music - 5
    Heidevolk 1x - I wish I had been more awake for their set - I had enjoyed the music when checking them out before cruise - 7
    Rage 2x - I thought Rage with LMO was simply amazing - 10
    Kreator 2x - I am not a big thrash fan and didn't think I'd like this band, but I was wrong - 8
