CNN Report From The 70000 Tons Of Metal Cruise - Video Available!

The 70000 TONS OF METAL cruise is currently sailing back to Miami, Florida! The Royal Caribbean Majesty Of The Seas was packed with over 2000 headbangers when it set sail on Monday, January 23 in Miami, Florida to head towards George Town, Cayman Islands and it will return today (Friday, January 27) hopefully with everyone who boarded!

This Cruise is not your grandma's cruise. It is also not one of the cruises that share the ship with normal cruise guests. This is an all Heavy Metal cruise! Not only is this huge for Metal, but as you can see in the video below, the entire crew is very impressed with this massive event and with the behavior of our fellow Metaleros.

Guitarist Danny Tunker Discusses God Dethroned's Three Last Shows Ever!

"God Dethroned, the final year. 2011. When the decision was made to do it this way Michiel, Henk and I supported Henri's decision, of course, but it would be a lie to say we were happy about it. His reasons for doing it are -of course- his own and he looks to other horizons after playing with God Dethroned for 20+ years. He is building his own guitars, speakers and amps and going for that with the same intensity as he has played with God Dethroned for all those years.

"Originally, we would only do about 4 gigs as a 'farewell tour', though offers came in all the time. We did book some extra shows, in places like Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and Leewarden, Holland. Eindhoven Metal Meeting was going to be the final one (on December, 17th) and we have honored that commitment for all offers that came, safe one, which was just too good to turn down. I'm referring to 70,000 tons of Metal of course. Any band would love to play that cruise. Play two shows on a cruise-ship with some of your favorite bands and 2000 fans? Forget it! So December, 17th is going to be the final show for God Dethroned on solid ground. The other 2 shows will be on a ship in the ocean.

"The other shows we did this year were Summer Breeze 2011, which was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had with this band and Motocultor in France the day after. Hanging out with Tyr and Moonsorrow on a nightliner and party? Check. Can't believe that was in August already.

"And now, it's December. And we only have 3 more shows to go. First is the Eindhoven Metal Meeting. Then Christmas, New Year and a cruise. Can't believe this will be the end of it, but it sure has been fun. It probably won't hit me for some time, but once we play the final notes for 'Under The Sign Of The Iron Cross' in Eindhoven and somewhere on the Atlantic, it probably will.

"Thanks to the fans, bands, bookers and the lovely people at Metal Blade for all the support! Hope you all come out one last time to party with us."
