We Will Celebrate...!
|
|
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 on board 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 Lngqvis.
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 on board a sold out 70000TONS OF METAL 2012, The World's Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival!

Pirates Force Us Back To Europe To Look For Survivors
