The good news is that they play in Barcelona five days after the cruise so I'll get to watch them

Was about to post the news... Planning to come back on 70k in 2020 only, that's good news to me as they'll be playing in Lyon and won't miss them !

and then they can be onboard again in '20

JINJER! Would have loved to see her on the boat. She played SLC in April, might have to wait a while to see her roll through again.

Burning Witches - Another girlie band I follow that I won't get to see anytime soon.

And 3 on my Bucket List of bands I wanted to see.

Any chance Andy would book Heilung, or are they too progressive for the boat? They are primordial cave-man aboriginal type metal. I've been wanting to see them since I first experienced them on YouTube.

Avantasia ruled out.
Asked on facebook and answered by Tobi himself

Alejandro Melgar: 70000 Tons of Metal is a little bit much to ask?

Avantasia: Yes, no shows in January...

Interviewed Oscar from Hammerfall last night for 70K. He said that they would love to be back on the boat but have Jan/Feb booked up for the next 2 years so 2021 would be the earliest they could do it.

Then again, they were supposed to be recording an album this year but instead toured North America and are hitting the festivals in Europe since their tour in 2017 was so successful. So...plans can change...you never know!

I wanted to request Bathsheba (awesome doom from Belgium with a female vocalist), but Metal Archives reports that they'll be playing their final gig on August 16th, 2018.

But day 2 is already february...

The late announcements are contributing to my eyeing up other festivals and taking a break after 8 years. I'd go on 70k again if the lineup is rolled out and mostly good, but vacation time at my new job is harder to get...

Yup. I've got less vacation/flex time at this job overall too, so while I'm resigned to doing at least one more year of 70k (2019 or 2020), I might start looking at other destinations.

Nice and spooky, I like. Thanks for the suggestion.

It'd break my heart not to see you on-board, but honestly, with the repeating destination and current lack of hype/announcements, I'd understand this year. If you skip out on 2019 - come back for the 10th since Andy promises something special! Otherwise, see ya in the moshtub.

Side Note: I'm also interested in a 2019 or 2020 European metal fest, but it's a little more complicated for me to hash out travel plans like that with the little dinosaur.

It is almost Canada Day. And we could use some good news.

Yes, it will happen on Tuesday, with Dimmu Borgir opening the dance.

Phill Anselmo & The Illegals Will be Touring Brazil during the cruise, so any project with Phill Anselmo is ruled out

Tengger Cavalry have reformed so they can be removed from the list. http://bravewords.com/news/tengger-cavalry-regroup-and-release-new-single-and-music-video-for-heart

F'n awesome! So glad to hear this, thanks for the update!

That sucks, I was hoping to see them someday live. http://lambgoat.com/news/29641/Tengger- ... -breaks-up

Didn't care for the original stuff but their cover songs were awesome.

Tengger Cavalry - Symphony of Destruction (Megadeth Cover)
https://youtu.be/6hwl-nABpNI

Tengger Cavalry - Nemesis (Arch Enemy Cover)
https://youtu.be/MWu1VA0T3MA

Tengger Cavalry - Du Hast (Rammstein Cover)
https://youtu.be/MdTe0smBBac

On another note: Recently discovered Inquisition, what an amazing sound they have.

https://youtu.be/ZrNyEx9jME4
OMG and this: https://youtu.be/KILavnRoheY?list=RDKILavnRoheY

But after a little research I also discovered they were dropped from their label a few months back, some unsavory news still being hashed out, but the damage is done, so I don't think we'll ever see them play on the boat. Think they played on the boat 2013. Listening to their latest album, really creepy stuff going on there, too bad I'll never see them perform I guess, sad.

Andy! You are taking so long that bands are actually disbanding and then reuniting before we even have announcements!

Bummer! Wisdom is out. First, Mate Bodor left rhe band, now this:
"Wisdom has come to an end. We stopped Wisdom to find a way we can all go forward into the future and gather new energy and Inspiration"
And: "NG got a serious health issue which is still undiagnosed. He hasn't been able to sing for almost a year."
Will they ever come back?

Yeah I dunno! That most recent update from Wisdom was SOOOO contradictory! Because after the above, they immediately went on to state that:
"Nevertheless, we plan to make the fifth Wisdom album and release it sometime in the future. So just keep fingers crossed and let's see what the future holds for us! "

Announcements are taking so long and ruled out list is growing.

Soon we're gonna be able to guess the line-up

Omnium Gatherum are out. Confirmed for Full Metal Cruise

Is there any proof that a band that is doing another cruise cannot do 70K? I'm asking this because FMC is 3 months after 70K and it is happening in another continent... so it is definitely not a logistics problem.

Well, how often does Vanhala miss the boat? If Insomnium & Omnium are out for next year... let's just be clear that it's obviously Niilo on vocals in Belzebubs - maybe Vanhala is on guitar and they'll still make their way on-board, lol.

Not that we know of, but there's probably a 90-12 day non complete clause.

This was literally the first thing I saw when I woke up this morning, so I'm even amazed I was able to post this.

I am also confused as to why they would be ruled out. Dark Tranquillity and Wolfheart did the Nordic Metal Cruise literally 5 days after 70K this past February 10.

Battlebeast also did 70K 2018 and Full Metal Cruise 2018. It's a non-issue. See you next year, Markus

Fair enough! Again, I posted that right after I woke up so I think I just panicked. Markus for every year.

Another year of possibly encountering him and his bandmates in the hot-tub. I think I'm 2 years out of 3.
70,000 Tons of Markus.

Manilla Road will most likely be out due to Mark 'the Shark' Shelton passing today.
