[Monmisreal]

Count me in for a 3am brooding pool deck set.

[mooyagi]

Majestic Downfall is pretty decent. I'll try to catch a set. I'm pretty happy with the lineup so it's all gravy from here. Not expecting to know any of the remaining bands anyway.

[Phoenix]

I'll have to give Majestic Downfall a listen, they sound like they've won a few people over.

Looking at the bands you usually like, I'm not sure this is really going to be your thing. I'd even say that most people here won't enjoy them too much, as for me I love their doom/death mixture.

You'd be surprised - I like a little bit of everything when it comes to metal, as long as it's cohesive (and not crossover). Pure death and pure black metal are genres I have a hard time finding bands I really enjoy, but that's probably due to over saturation in my local scene.

Majestic Downfall seems quite enjoyable so far. Time permitting I will try to catch a set.

[Warphine]

Although I've never met him, I've seen Jacobo from Majestic Downfall at many-a 70k and MDF over the years. I always wondered when one of his bands would get added to either festival.

[Warphine]

3 band lottery

Be'lakor (Australia - Melodic Death Metal), Selbst (Chile - Black Metal), Harakiri for the sky (Austria - Post-Doom Metal)

I'd be so stoked if this were it. Harakiri's new album is amazing. Recently got into Selbst too.

[Evican]

Majestic Downfall... So far so good. I'll definitely check out at least one set.

I love that we're getting more DOOM! And speaking of more doom... Mourning Beloveth would be a great addition!

[UltimoAviso]

3 bands will put us at 59, leaving room for one more big(ger) announcement maybe

[Sgt. B]

I'm very very happy with the Majestic Downfall addition. I have 3 or 4 of their releases. I hope to catch both sets. I think Jacobo is also in Zombification. They are good death metal.


Psychostick is entertaining, but they come to town 1-3 times every year. Not that special of an addition to me. I might catch a set depending on what is going on.

[DrinkMoxie]

it's no Myrath but sounds decent enough (except for those death vocals on the early material, newer stuff is much better)... I'll check out a set if I can

but jeesh, I've been teased with Borknagar and Myrath, my heart is broken


I've got bands I love and bucketlisters but absolutely no bands I consider top tier... Borknagar would have made my cruise...

...but I'll still definitely have fun and enjoy seeing the friends

[DrinkMoxie]

ok, 3 continents, assuming lesser known bands, but bands I'd enjoy:

North America: Frost Giant
Asia: Black Kirin
Europe: Algebra

[Andy]

Every year we are astounded at the sheer number of nations represented onrboad 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise. Reflecting the diversity of our Sailors, these three bands come from three different continents, playing three different types of metal!

Please welcome the groovy headbangers DIABLO BLVD from Belgium, Colombian speed metal maniacs REVENGE, and American power metal powerhouse SEVEN KINGDOMS onbroad for Round 8!

With 59 out of 60 bands announced, the air is rife with excitement. The last one up our sleeve is a real "K"nock out, so stay tuned!

[Sgt. B]

Revenge sounded cool.



As for Diablo Blvd & Seven Kingdoms,

[zerkz]

Super unlikely... but I secretly hope it's Khôrada, despite them not having any material out...

[Evican]

I can only hope that it's Kalisia.. Although it's almost certainly not them.

I know a fair few people who would lose their minds if it was Kvelertak.

[Jaimie38]

Revenge sounded cool.



As for Diablo Blvd & Seven Kingdoms,

hahaha! Can't wait to hang out again!

K- Kobra and the Lotus?

[JoAnnamayhem]

Krisiun?!?

[Castroh]

It'll be Kataklysm.

[bodomdragon]

Keep of Kalessin = very happy Dragon.

[Godflesh]

It's not Kvelertak, they're in Spain during the cruise.
I'm guessing Kataklysm.

[zerkz]

Ooooo I like.

[Pellaz]

Overnight catching up here, just got to work.

Psychostick: meh. Probably the first and last time a band that has played DragonCon in Atlanta also plays 70K.

Majestic Downfall: I'll have to give 'em a listen; might like 'em.

The three new ones: same story, gotta give 'em a listen except for Seven Kingdoms, who I know pretty well...decent power-metal, plus any band based on Game of Thrones gets bonus points in my book.

"K"eep of Kalessin? That'd be awesome.
"K"ataklysm?
....."K"ing Diamond?

Looking forward to hanging out with you this year also.

[Sgt. B]

I would be happy with Keep of Kalessin, Kataklysm or Krisiun.

I wonder if we will get a 61st & 62nd band?

[Phoenix]

Saw Kataklysm in 2015, don't care enough to see them again. But from what I'm reading it sounds like Andy really needed a last minute band announcement, so I gather this is it.

I've always been going this year because I desperately need an escape (real life SUCKS so hard for me right now, you have no idea), and with this lineup not being super interesting for me I actually get a chance to let my hair down. So I'm actually pretty okay with that.

Maybe I can finally go to metal karaoke and even let myself get dragged to a show or two

[acidbasement]

Knocked out, into a state of Katatonia.

[Gratch]

I would be happy with Keep of Kalessin

Same here.

I wonder if we will get a 61st & 62nd band?

[dws515]

If it's King Diamond, I'm going to lose my mind

[Ethrivas]

Krisiun plox.

[General Zod]

I've heard from an inside source that it's Kid Rock.

Ditto to pretty much all of this!!

As can be seen from my signature, only 4 true 'wishlist' bands, a couple that I've seen before but will be def 2-setters (Dark Tranquillity, Freedom Call) and then a heap in the I'll-probably-catch-a-set-depending-on-whats-happening category.

Much drinking, karaoking and fun awaits!

[Jimbo2392]

[meshuggah]

I've heard from an inside source that it's Kid Rock.

If it is, I'll be sure and pack my Brujeria and Municipal Waste Trump shirts!

[meshuggah]

Knocked out, into a state of Katatonia.

I wish it were Katatonia, but Roger Öjersson is having serious back issues, so they've taken a hiatus.

[sara]

It's super unlikely, but I'd love King Parrot. Somebody tell RC to start making pho on the ship and then maybe we can entice them.

[DragonLordJones]

I wonder if we will get a 61st & 62nd band?

I don't think so - Andy says the last one - but it is Andy , so who knows but Andy

I hear that the final announcement (61 or 62) will be Metallica playing only their first 3 albums to appease the "not enough thrash" crowd. This is a rumor on Facebook started by me.

[Phoenix]

Does the thrash crowd EVER think there's enough thrash on broad?

[DrinkMoxie]

Does the thrash crowd EVER think there's enough thrash on broad?

they HAD TO have in 2015

[mooyagi]

Anyone get the warning email from Royal Caribbean? Reminder not to bring any beverages or illegal substances on broad. They're ready for us.
