Iced Earth Confirmed for Heavy Metal Cruise

Iced Earth has just been confirmed to be joining the lengthy lineup for 70000 Ton of Metal. Barlow is good, but I must make it known (again) that I still miss Ripper. If Iced Earth were performing with Ripper, I’d probably start selling organs to go to this. I think they should have kept both vocalists.

Other bands performing are: Agent Steel, Amon Amarth, Death Angel, Epica, Exodus, Fear Factory, Finntroll, Forbidden, Moonspell, Obituary, Raven, Saxon, Sodom, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Swashbuckle, Testament, Trouble, Uli Jon Roth, and Witchburner. They will have 40 bands confirmed for this cruise.

This 4 day cruise sets sail on Monday, January 24, 2011 aboard the Royal Caribbean “Majesty of the Seas” from Miami FL to Cozumel, Mexico. Ticket prices start at US$666 plus US$249 taxes and fees per person and include all on-board entertainment, all meals, non-alcoholic and non-carbonated beverages at the dining rooms, most on-board restaurants and 24 room service.

This sounds really cool. I am cranky because I can’t quite afford to go this year. If someone is going and willing to write up a trip report for me I would love to blog it here.
