The lineup is pretty shit so far, but a complete metalhead cruise? If I had a grand and a half to spare, I'd be down to hell with that. The all-inclusive packages don't include alcohol though... Dicks.

I would enjoy some of this lineup, especially Amon Amarth. That has to be a dream come true for the bands, getting paid to go on a cruise and play their music?


damn.

 

[Shpongled]

On one hand... a cruise ship is the last place I'd want to be surrounded by nothing but metalheads.

On the other hand, this event does sound pretty awesome

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Sodom and Amon Amarth.

I'm pretty sure Forbidden just got confirmed too.

 

[slashvanyoung]

Is this a novelty in the US?

 

[Brooks]

I hope it looks just like that.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

Old news? I've seen announcements for many "metal" cruises over the years.
Wasn't Motley Crue doing this a while ago? And isn't there a progpower cruise of some sort?

 

[Brooks]

What part of AMON AMARTH ON A BOAT do you not understand?!
​

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

It would be better if the cruise ship was a giant Viking longboat.

 

[theoden236]

That would be killer. And at each stop, the bands (mainly Finntroll and Amon Amarth) would debark and steal all the women from each town

The original post mentioned nothing about them, as a matter of fact he said the lineup is shit so far.

So my comment stands, these types of cruises are old news.

 

[Craysh3]

Well sodom and finntroll are saving the lineup for me at the moment, but yeah... It's mostly shit.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Yeah I remember Opeth doing a boat/cruise festival a few years ago. I'd love to experience such a thing!

That was the Melloboat in '08. Great line-up:

We've had the "Metal Cruise" on the Rhine since 2007 here now. With bands like Sodom (apparently they like playing on boats), Primordial, Melechesh, Desaster etc. So no MTV-metal.... good times.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up.

Christ, can you imagine how much booze they're packing onto this boat?

I assume they reserved a whole deck just to store alcohol

Of course. They got Onkel Tom on board.

 

[Dead Winter]

A friend of mine is going on the Scandinavian metal cruise...I'll ask her how it was.
