I hope they eventually switch back to the Monday to Friday schedule. It seems that most, myself included, can work around this timetable much easier. Speaking with a bit of fest background knowledge. I don't think we will UNLESS Andy gets a good offer on a Mon-Fri boat. US based fests are facing A ...

I hope they eventually switch back to the Monday to Friday schedule. It seems that most, myself included, can work around this timetable much easier.

We have a ship, dates and, at present time, a destination. It wasn't that long ago that the first bands were being announced in September and October. Last year when announcements began in April it was too SOON for some! We're not owed anything other than 60(+) bands in a safe environ that ports in...

I wouldn't even say almost. It's extremely tribal. Makes it even worse for those of us that don't associate with a particular 'mainstream' dichotomous tribe. It feels like Andy is in the classic Far Side cartoon where there's two doors (Damned If You Do and Damned If You Don't) and Satan is there s...

There are so many external factors affecting everything that they’re probably not comfortable putting concrete information out. I kind of understand, but to give this dead horse another whack, they should communicate these situations with us and let us know the status of ticket sales, rationale beh...

They DID actually sell them in the early years!!! I HAVE one in my wardrobe but I think I bought it on the first or second cruise when I was MUCH thinner so its like a medium that doesn't fit anymore :P That’s pretty cool! I missed out in so much. I wish I wasn’t so broke back then :lol: Maybe I sh...

just noticed I leveled up to the rank of Captain! woot and it looks like it won't be too long before Cegr80 becomes the first new Commander in at least a decade You're the only one of the group that's even remotely active anymore :| it's sad, we all used to have tons of fun around here I wasn’t on ...

Random thought while watching an interview with Andy: it would be cool if they sold plain 70K polo shirts like the staff wear onbroad at the merch store. I could actually wear those at work.

Fuck, man. I’m sorry to hear that. I hope things start looking up.

Another vinyl preorder shows up early!

Great album.

Labadee is a private secured region that I'm sure they are invested in securing slightly more if necessary Yes, and no. They have currently paused any sailings to Labadee. That's not unusual and has happened in the past. It might be stabilized by 2026, but if not, they'll start exploring options la...

The announcement still lists Labadee as the destination. They must be banking on improvement in Haiti’s situation.

In the words of Warrel, "Welcome to the fall".

Beyond within!

Not bad. Nice and brutal. I haven’t listened to anything new from these guys since ‘06. Glad that they’re still around.

Preordered vinyl showed up a few days early! Thanks, Metal Blade!

That wouldn’t surprise me. It’s crazy to think I had already bought tickets around the beginning of May last year. Hopefully, Andy has some impressive bands lined up to start things off.

Last gig: Boat

Next gig: Rivers of Nihil, Holy Fawn, Inter Arma, Glacial Tomb

Ashes of Ares released some new material with a new album to come in July/August. Maybe they’ll tour and take a side trip to BOAT.

Right on! Just curious, where can I find a breakdown for post counts to rank promotions?

Well I've been chopped. Both Skipper and new granddaughter were late, but granddaughter only late by 1 day. Arrived today, 7lb 11oz, perfectly healthy. :D Still waiting for the Skipper... Another little metal head is born! Congrats! She has no concept of time, so being a day late is certainly excus...

Been a while since I added a band. Let’s add Spiritworld to my wishlist, please.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

This is for my project I do with my wife, called Oubliette. I'd say it's somewhere between Moonsorrow and Opeth. I write 99% of the music and she does all the vocals. We don't have anything posted online yet. I'm trying to get this batch of 5 songs done before I post it up. I got bored and started ...

I know right? But wait - it gets WORSE: Full Artist Lineup Announcement Wednesday, April 30 - 5pm AEST Presale Opens Monday, May 12 - 10am AEST General Public On Sale Thursday, May 15 - 10am AEST Pre-Sale opening TWO WEEKS after the FULL lineup? Meaning people have plenty of time to get their finan...

I think I'm writing one of my best songs yet. Sweet! When you're done recording, you should share. I'm working on some material myself. Mine's Power Metal, what's yours? :lol: This is for my project I do with my wife, called Oubliette. I'd say it's somewhere between Moonsorrow and Opeth. I write 99...

Dark Labs Crack Barbarian Pre-Workout.

In my frustration with being eliminated, I punched a random floating brick on my way into my office and it spat out a mushroom with green spots. Oddly, it moved away from me very quickly, so I had to run to catch it. Something tells me if I eat this bizarre mobile fungus I’ll get an extra life and a...

Man, I sure hope so.

I just read an article discussing the possibility of gangs completely seizing power over the Haitian government. Some think this is becoming a real possibility, with reports stating criminal organizations are working to take control of the transitional government. My heart goes out to the people th...
