No idea where the new clue is pointing. I checked all bands that have previously played the cruise and start with G, and it doesn't seem to match any of them (there are only a handful of them anyway).

"Gotthard" (the Mountain as well as the Band) wouldn't be too far from Grenoble, where Nightmare are from.

It's definitely Ghost Ship Octavius. If you haven't heard them go listen to their album, it rules.

by **elj4176** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 11:13 am

Gatecreeper? They play in Texas on 2/1 and then in Florida in March.

by **deathmetalpat** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 11:45 am

Nightmare are great!Their pool deck show was awesome and I had no idea who they where before,glad I know them now .

I was going through about a dozen Nightmare bands on metal archives until I found the French one. Old school, I will have to look into this.

Yes ,they had a different singer in 2013.

by **General Zod** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 11:54 am

I'd happily take Grand Magus, Ghost Ship Octavius, Gatecreeper or even Gmon Gmarth.

I guess this Nightmare band will make some people happy.

I wouldn't mind Gorod for the next band.

by **Razor Ramon** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 12:09 pm

NIGHTMARE

G, Green Carnation or Grave Miasma, it won't be either of those..

by **deathmetalpat** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 12:19 pm

The new singer for Nightmare Magali Luytens is ex-Beautiful Sin ,they have one album and I freaking love it!I am overjoyed,their new album is quite like Beautiful Sin but heavier.Love her voice,never thought I get to see her live.And I actually wait to get her to sign my cd,doubt there will be a line.

by **General Zod** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 12:53 pm

I had never heard of Nightmare, but Magali Luytens has some serious pipes. Looking forward to these guys.

These guys look to have been through quite a few changes. This band seems interesting so far, now its just a matter of checking out their music. France doesn't really come to mind when it comes to metal.

by **mooyagi** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 2:50 pm

Magali Luyten sings for them now? Count me in. She's excellent.

Since she's already on broad, can we get Beyond the Bridge too?

by **deathmetalpat** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 5:14 pm

Okay looked though the hellhole of Facebook comments and it is true that the Amore brothers left Nightmare and formed Now or Never.But 3/5 of the band that played 2013 are in the band and Magali is killer and can definitely handle the older material.Just listen to the 4 latest studio albums (including the only one with her) and that is what Nightmare is now.I am shocked that 3 smaller bands announced the last week are definitely 1/2 setters,as I usually get nothing at the last group of bands.

Yeah - me same.

15 to go now. I saw zero sets from any of the last 15 announced this year, and the only one I saw of the last 15 the previous year was Wintersun.

So, I don't have high hopes

Based on your tastes, I really think you would enjoy Ghost Ship Octavius.

I'm an anti-oracle, since I think none of my guesses have been correct in two years, and as you know, being 100% wrong is as statistically significant as being 100% right.
So from now on, I think I should post my guesses in the "Bands likely ruled out" thread

In an attempt to jinx this, I do think that Ghost Ship Octavius (which is a band from my adoptive hometown, but that I've never seen or heard), is the next band to be announced.

by **Luxi** » Fri Dec 30, 2016 7:29 am

Hmmm... "G" for Gravedigger perhaps?

It cannot be Ghost for sure...

They're already on the boat.

excellent choice. However I believe the cruise line has some sort of rules against slaughtering the passengers, crew and bands.

I immediately thought of them as well. I really really hope so. If anyone has never heard of them, they put out one of the best debut albums I've ever heard. Awesome stuff.

I can't thank you guys enough. Never heard of them before... Now I can't stop listening to their album!

by **Decibel** » Fri Dec 30, 2016 1:48 pm

I saw GSO in Vancouver and it was mesmerising. They put on an excellent show and the ambience that goes with it.

Well, apparently no one told that to Ghoul last year....

We're still being haunted... Please welcome GHOST SHIP OCTAVIUS onbroad 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise!

"A"nother one will keep you spinning...

by **Mark** » Fri Dec 30, 2016 4:02 pm

Hell yeah!
Didn't know about them 3 days ago, gave them a try on Spotify and wow, that album is REALLY good

by **DragonLordJones** » Fri Dec 30, 2016 4:05 pm

Atrophy please

by **alex_canada** » Fri Dec 30, 2016 4:30 pm

Nice! Like others, I hadn't listened to them before I heard murmurs in the last couple days. I like them. As a matter of fact, I had them on Spotify when I noticed this announcement. Best case scenario for a later add I'd say.

by **Razor Ramon** » Fri Dec 30, 2016 4:36 pm

GHOST SHIP OCTAVIUS

I predict another thumbs down coming real soon..

Called it like a champ. Well played.

I keep getting excited about the As. Not doing it this time. Bring on Artillery or Anvil or whatever.

Things spin on their axis, and there is a band called "AXXIS".......

But it also could mean nothing:

That said, if "spin" is the clue, than it's fairly obvious:

spins

by **DragonLordJones** » Fri Dec 30, 2016 5:19 pm

as much as I would like Armored Saint to be on the boat - I'm pretty sure they are ruled out as their Bassist Joey Vera who plays with Fates Warning are playing Europe during the cruise.

A John Bush / Anthrax reunion on the boat would kick major ass

by **AceHugger** » Fri Dec 30, 2016 5:24 pm

bodomdragon wrote:A friend of mine just suggested Ghost Ship Octavius. Kinda fits, doesn't it?

Yes. It does.

I'd like aborted but doesn't fit the clue.
Kinda hoping for amon amarth mainly due to the volume of people who it seems would love it.
Not my first choice, but then my first choice doesn't begin with A

Yes, I will take this.

by **deathmetalpat** » Fri Dec 30, 2016 6:25 pm

GSO will be an early in the day or very late at night band with just one album.At least give it a listen because I doubt there will be any conflict of scheduling,maybe Andy has finally figured out it would be nice to let people listen to the unknown bands before the cruise.

Yeah - hadn't heard of them previously. Gave the album a spin this morning. Definitely catching a set now :)

I would lose it if the next one is Axxis.

“A”nother one will keep you spinning = you will lose yor mind = A band with multiple request = Amon Amarth
