for Andy to hold off for an inordinately long time, so that we smash the previous 'longest wait' for announcements and set a new unbreakable record. (Hell, we may as well, - we're so close now)

Well for that to happen, the next announcement would be around Feb 12, so I don't think it'll happen.

Never say never.

lol.

They're playing in Finland during the cruise though.

Man, that sucks. Shoulda figured, though. I didn't check their touring schedule.

Either way, some Xmas announcements... nah, not gonna happen!

Since we'll have both Candlemass and Nile on broad, do you think there's any chance we'll finally get to see a band crossover or jam between "Unas Slayer of the Gods" and "The Well of Souls"?
(Nile's song is a famous tribute to Candlemass's song)

Don't know about that but I am wondering about this.According to this website https://www.queensymphonicrhapsody.com/ ,Thomas Vikstrom will be on this tour during the cruise.Mats could pull double duty and sing with Therion and Snowy could also be in the mix.Both could sing also,Therion will have a replacement drummer on the ship because Johan left the band,Chris announced that already.Waiting for Candlemass to be officially announced to see what is going to happen.Thomas could still be on the cruise and just miss a few of the Queen tour dates,don't know how that tour works.

That would be quite a blow if Thomas was not on broad

Fuck, if Mats and Snowy stand in though... that's pretty close to the Gothic Kabbalah lineup. I had really young kids and/or maybe a pregnant wife or something, and I couldn't drive 10 hours to see the Live Gothic tour. I would be ecstatic if they reenacted that show.

Let the Cripper Bands Begine!!!!

by **CFH** » Wed Dec 21, 2016 12:28 pm

I have a gut feeling that we're going to get some bands before/at christmas..

by **acidbasement** » Wed Dec 21, 2016 1:34 pm

I'll buy Jess another drink if we get a band announcement on or before Thursday night.

Edit: by "Thursday", I mean tomorrow, the 22nd of December, 2016. Because it's always technically before Thursday night.

This has worked out very well so far. For all parties involved.

I assume we're getting Psycroptic and Candlemass, and then some Crippers, around or after Christmas. But boy, with 2016 being the garbage fire it has been, I'm begging for Mors Principium Est at this point. Getting the band at the top of my bucket list will make everything worth it.

And then I'LL owe Iain a drink.

Hmm. I think our stateroom is close to where the ship is cracked in half.

Glad I bought travel insurance for THIS cruise!

Hope you didn't hold your breath waiting for too long! PSYCROPTIC are going to turn up the intensity onbroad 70000TONS OF METAL 2017, so you'd better be there!

Don't rest easy just yet, we're not done here! Think of the letter "A"...

How many days was it this time?

only a lazy 123 day gap between announcements

by **slayergeek** » Thu Dec 22, 2016 5:39 pm

Well shit. They have delayed adding this artist to the 70000tons.com/artists/ page, this delays my app automatically pushing out the announcement.

Hopefully they will do this soon. If not, I will have to manually hack the announcement into the app.

by **metalmaciejmetal** » Thu Dec 22, 2016 5:45 pm

Its been so long since this announcement was leaked that i forgot about it. I guess Candlemass is up next

Not unless you spell it Andlemass

Could the "hold your breath" reference be a clue to the next band being ASPHYX?

They do have a gap in their tour schedule from 15th January to 10th of February.

by **Razor Ramon** » Thu Dec 22, 2016 6:10 pm

PSYCROPTIC

I'll just sit here and wait for something good..

I'll drink free beer

The smart money sounds like it's on Asphyx, but Amon Amarth right now would SLAY.

by **macamatic** » Thu Dec 22, 2016 6:23 pm

Amon Amarth makes sense, but I'd do ethically questionable things for Ancient Bards.

I'd really love for the next band to be Asphyx, but am not counting on it.

On the plus side - an announcement!!!!!

by **Razor Ramon** » Thu Dec 22, 2016 6:34 pm

I want Anathema! Asphyx would be cool too though. I couldn't give a fuck about Amon Amarth, I can see them here plenty.

Woops. Silent c.... Im on my phone, i didnt read the details

by **sara** » Thu Dec 22, 2016 7:11 pm

Holy shit, an announcement. I really need some more of these to ease this holiday stress.

"Hold your breath" and "A" do seem to point at Asphyx. I'd be down for some of that.

by **alex_canada** » Thu Dec 22, 2016 7:48 pm

Listened to psycroptic, not a fan at all.

Me too mate!

by **Memnoch** » Fri Dec 23, 2016 12:14 am

Psycroptic is a two-setter for me. If the next one is Asphyx, that'd be quite a Yule present.
I'm not holding my breath though. And, I'm seeing them in Berlin in January anyhow - in a super small venue nonetheless.
Grand Supreme Blood Court fits the clue too ("Anything with Martin van Drunen"

).

Oh, I wouldn't mind Avatarium being added either. Anneke?

by **mbob** » Fri Dec 23, 2016 7:31 am

I had never heard of Ancient Bards before but now can't stop playing them on Spotify. They are the cat's tits! Even though I really want Amon Amarth I could live with Ancient Bards!
