I guess the only way to answer this is for me to see them live, preferably with a bottle of White Zinfandel.

I'm with you. Like musically I get it, but the vocals RUIN it for me in the songs I could listen to before I had to shut them off.

Edguy would completely change my priorities this year. Lets see what happens

An Edguy announcement would cause all four of us who live in my house to soil ourselves.

Agreed, the vocals are what I don't like.

But I already have more bands than I can realistically find time to see. Aside from my hope for one really stupid, go in circles hard party thrash band, which can easily be a Cripper, I don't care. Pile on the corny power bands and opera chicks.

Just confirming what we all pretty much knew, but Insomnium IS in fact planning to do a Winter's Gate set on broad. And they posted a 70k exclusive shirt design to boot. So I'm dancing in my seat today

It's gonna be tough getting one of those shirts

by **Fulorian** » Mon Jan 15, 2018 4:36 pm

This demands a pool deck set. What could be more Caribbean Gate than a pool deck set?!?

One day you'll look back and tell the magnificent EVERTALE of your journey onbroad 70000TONS OF METAL 2018, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise... that is, if you will be sailing with 2,999 headbangers from across the globe!

Let's be "B"rutally honest here: you will regret it if you are not sailing with us!

I wonder if it is Borknagar time?

For me it's mostly Ida's vocals. Her and Maggy Luyten are the best female metal vocalists with a bit deeper voice. No wonder Triosphere was my absolute favourite on the 2015 cruise as was Nightmare on last year's.

EVERTALE \o/

Beyond happy. And my avatar is me wearing my Evertale shirt even

The clue could be Behemoth, but they’re rumored both in and out, so I’ll guess Belphegor, that was also rumored in.

by **Ethrivas** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 1:40 am

Be'lakor or Brymir would be the best options for me.
I am also fine with Behemoth or Belphegor.

I'd be deliriously happy with Borknagar, just slightly less so with Behemoth, and just a bit less happy with Belphegor.

Based on the clue it could also be Brutal Truth IF they re-formed or something, but I doubt it.

by **bodomdragon** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 1:57 am

I said Borknagar basically because they were leaked several months ago. I still wonder if they were "Candlemass'd" and removed from the lineup or if they simply posponed the announcement. We'll find out soon.

Any of those would be good options. I wasn't impressed with Belphagor the last time they were on the cruise.

by **mgrock** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 4:35 am

What about Bloodbath? Are they already ruled out?

by **Phoenix** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 6:07 am

My guess is Blood Red Throne, since the clue is BRUTAL.

Boatnagar!!!!!!

Anybody suggesting anything other than Borknagar loses ALL high five benefits

DrinkMoxie wrote:Anybody suggesting anything other than Borknagar loses ALL high five benefits

Meh, I would much prefer Be'lakor, Behemoth, or Bell Witch.

Blood Red Throne or Blood Mortized would be cool too.

by **Razor Ramon** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 8:07 am

EVERTALE

Better be Borknagar. And fuck Behemoth, band that tours the US on the regular VS band than never comes to the US, yeah, I'll just see Behemoth when they come back on tour.

In general I agree with you, but there is something magic about Behemoth on the pool deck. If Behemoth were next, it would make me pretty happy.

by **alex_canada** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 8:26 am

Not many must sees this year, so I'd love be'lakor.

by **Phoenix** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 8:38 am

I've noticed that, since the fiasco with the Cripper award last year, Andy has avoided directly pointing out Cripper bands this year. But based on the numbers, looks like our lesser-known (or perhaps lesser-listened) bands this year so far are:

Aeternam - 10,146 last.fm listeners (on the cusp)
Evertale - 2,397 last.fm listeners
Gyze - 3,722 last.fm listeners
Internal Bleeding - 8,509 last.fm listeners
Seven Spires - 553 last.fm listeners
Witherfall - 1,428 last.fm listeners

Thanks to the people who compiled bodomdragon's spreadsheet for the easy reference

The next highest amount of listeners is Triosphere with 19,677, so a pretty clear gap in there at the moment.

Not that these are Cripper candidates by any means, I just like data.

Personally I'd take that list minus Aeternam. Just my thoughts. Let's reach an agreement and I will add cool charts focused on the Cripper award contenders

Those were my thoughts as well, though 5 seemed a little slim for a full list. Since like half the forum windmill slammed Aeternam onto their wishlists after Ruins of Empires came out it doesn't seem fair to make them a Cripper.

Or it could be Brutality. They are a Florida based death metal band.

I want an announcement that makes me feel like Dallas does right now...

One of those announcements would be DARK FORTRESS!

They know their audience, to be sure. And yeah, that makes it seem a bit more likely.

It's also probably not Behemoth, taking a look at the news. Nergal just got charged with disrespecting Poland's national emblem, probably has to get that sorted out first.

Nergal and Orion are going to be in California for Namm though. January 25-28. It would be hard for the timing to be any more perfect.
