Grailknights self confirmed on their site.

70000TONS OF METAL, The World's Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival, is almost complete. Our American scouts are on their way to Florida. Our European scouts came onbroad in Hamburg, Germany, but we are still missing one!

Having in mind that we also lost one along the way, The Skipper gave orders to sail through the Kiel Canal, back to the Baltic Sea one more time and call in Stockholm, Sweden to celebrate a CANDLEMASS! Sailors from around the world, please welcome one of the Godfathers of Doom that will perform next to a current set, a very special performance of their legendary Epicus Doomicus Metallicus in it's entirety with their original singer Johan Längqvis.

40 out of 40 and counting... while we sail full steam ahead to Florida. As a little bonus, like last year, we want to give two more bands the chance to sail with us and bring the final count to 42 out of 40... therefore please also welcome MEGORA from Switzerland and DIAMOND PLATE from Chicago, IL onbroad a sold out 70000TONS OF METAL 2012, The World's Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival!

Candlemass just confirmed!

I was looking at the list of bands and it said "All artists listed alphabetically" instead of 39 out of 40.

Candlemass...!!!! Great!!!

by **mooyagi** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 5:39 am

And the lineup is now complete! 42 bands again

That Candlemass show sounds really cool! Not too familiar with them but the bit I've checked out in the past and last night sounded great.

It's almost here, folks!

by **Memnoch** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 5:39 am

Yes! Finally a wish list band for me!

by **STACH100** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 5:39 am

Candlemass,interesting, I will see them just to say I have.
I have seen DiamondPlate, they are very good.

by **Evican** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 5:40 am

FUCK IT ALL!! So wanted Unexpect to be one of the extra bands.

Just my luck, I bet they play next year.

I checked out that Magora band.They are horrifyingly bad.

I think they might even be worse than Chanel Zero.

You should be talking about the brilliance of Candlemass instead.

Oh wait that's right, they are HEAVY, that goes against the "Power Metal Weenie Bylaws": thou shall not listen to aggressive and ballsy metal

Well when Hammerfall plays the Chorus Line, they will have security chopping them off and draining all the testosterone out of your body. The only real way to enjoy their gig

and I thought YOU were being deceptive.

by **Sinister Realm** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 7:28 am

no no....I spoke to Leif on the phone a few moments ago and the first thing I said was..."Why didn't you tell me"..haha..he said they were only asked a couple days ago to do it and sworn to secrecy.

by **nekrobarr** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 7:39 am

Little battery left on the phone, waiting for my connecting flight to Fort Lauderdale... Just have to take a moment and chime in.

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by **Laura** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 7:50 am

Great news! This is a band I've heard about for ages but never checked out - had a chance to see them at WOA but blew them off due to playing opposite Immortal who was my main draw that year.

Doing a blind buy (never heard it before) of Epicus Doomicus Metallicus on iTunes as I type this on my train to work. Looking forward to listening to it!

Also know that many of you forumers are big fans, so

to that!

yup, it appears as such; Don't think the Skipper is much of a prog fan.

We are heading out through the snow to Milwaukee, staying over night , flying early Sat.
See you in the sunshine!

Sorry to offend. I guess I consider bands who haven't released an album in 16 years and probably haven't toured the U.S. probably in that same timeframe (if not longer) pretty unknown at this point. You'd have to be DEEP into the early 90's Florida DM scene (and of age or live in the area) to know who the hell Massacre are in 2012. I could be wrong though. Maybe they'll get a co-headlining slot in the Summer Slaugther Tour this summer alongside Cannibal Corpse and Between the Buried and Me :)

Oh no, no offense at all my brother in metal. In fact, you are correct. If anyone is to be called DEEP in the Florida scene that would be me. And right in that time frame as well. In fact, I was involved in what be called the birth of death metal.
Hanging out at Chucks house in Altimonte Springs, being in the studio for the recording of Altars of Madness, even being with Morbid Angel when they picked Pete up at the Daytona Greyhound station in 87' when he came to join the band.
So, yeah, for me, Massacre playing now after all the time you mention is a gift for me. Terry Butler & Rick Rozz are a part of Death's history. Hails, and another beer.
I need to drink to sleep, fuck.
Soon.

That....is so fucking cool to read. I hope I can get to BS with you at some point

No kidding. Not just a lack of straight prog, but no progressive anything. I at least was hoping for some progressive death or folk. Oh well, time for bitching has run out. Now, time for the party!!!

Ok one last bitch: No hypocrisy, Imoortal, Heathen, Accept, Or Kreator.

Now with THAT out of my system...
