That's right! Their first shows ever will be performed nowhere else than onbroad Round X of 70000TONS OF METAL sailing across the Caribbean in January next year! Don't miss this historic moment, make sure you "A"lready have your spot secured for next year.
yea there are a lot of As in a row, which seems weird. But then again, there are a lot of A bands. 7 in 2015 and 8 in 2017
Have they ever all been announced in a row like this?
Oh I doubt it. I get what you're saying, announce a bunch of As, then end with a massive A. It's possible.
I remember right at the start of 2017 they opened with a run of straight "A"'s, I think it included Anthrax, Amaranthe, Annihilator, and Amorphis. There was mad Amon A-hype at the time, but of course it did not result in a viking booking.
They did the same thing to start announcements for round 7. First 4 bands were ‘A’ and everyone thought they were teasing Amon Amarth. We ended up getting Amaranthe and Annihilator as the 3rd and 4th Bands. Hardly anything overwhelming.
Looks like my post was 1 minute too late!

Damn! There is a precedent for this to lead to disappointment. How upsetting.Danny24601 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 10:16 amI remember right at the start of 2017 they opened with a run of straight "A"'s, I think it included Anthrax, Amaranthe, Annihilator, and Amorphis.

Only if you define an Amorphis announcement as disappointing!DudeBro wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 10:33 amDamn! There is a precedent for this to lead to disappointment.

I personally hope it isn't amon amarth, I'm just over them, especially after reading stuff on here. I've seen them too many times, and frankly grew out of them. Ignored the last few albums. I mean, if it is them, I'm fine with that. more like, eh, whatever. I hope it's one of the 8 million "A" bands I haven't seen though.DudeBro wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 10:33 amDamn!

I kind of grew out of the whole folk metal thing, but I feel like I'll be listening to more of it in the coming months. I didn't even know they had a second album. Gotta get around to that.Danny24601 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 11:51 am Oh fuck yeah! That's my first 5/5 band on board.
If you haven't heard them yet, their 2017 album Tarot is the best folk/melodeath album of the decade, it is absolutely essential listening if you like Wintersun, Ensiferum, Kalmah, and so on.
I hated itDanny24601 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 11:51 am If you haven't heard them yet, their 2017 album Tarot is the best folk/melodeath album of the decade, it is absolutely essential listening if you like Wintersun, Ensiferum, Kalmah, and so on.
Yes, but it is essential that you listened to it XDPhoenix wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 11:56 amI hated itDanny24601 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 11:51 am If you haven't heard them yet, their 2017 album Tarot is the best folk/melodeath album of the decade, it is absolutely essential listening if you like Wintersun, Ensiferum, Kalmah, and so on.
I'll miss the current Gatecreeper tour. It is the same night as King Diamond in town. Same promoter booked both shows too. Still don't understand their thinking.
wow that's awful. I'm pretty sure I'm going to miss gatecreeper just because I don't want to drive to Chicago... I should probably go
Yeah that's fair lol.
Yay, another Amon Amarth story!deathmetalpat wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 10:53 am For the newbies still waiting for that Amon Amarth announcement,some information.Andy was the touring manager for the band a long time ago and that gave him a great in for the initial cruise.Then something happened and they are never doing the cruise (according to a couple of older posters on here and other forums),and that is the AA announcement.
Close enough?Andy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 7:51 am Didn't we say that we have one for the history books? Well, we do!

They did 2019, so nope.
Damn right close enough!! I love Zach and while its probably "unpopular opinion" I view Zach-era Savatage as best era Savatage.
