The new line-up of Swedish metallers THE HAUNTED - featuring guitarist Patrik Jensen, guitarist Ola Englund (SIX FEET UNDER), singer Marco Aro (THE RESISTANCE, FACE DOWN), bassist Jonas Björler and drummer Adrian Erlandsson (AT THE GATES, PARADISE LOST) - are confirmed for the 2014 edition of The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise - 70000 Tons Of Metal, which will sail January 27th to 31st from Miami, Florida to Costa Maya, Mexico and back!

Due to personal scheduling conflicts, Kamelot have cancelled their appearance. A replacement will be announced soon.

70000 Tons Of Metal confirmations now include: CARCASS, DARK TRANQUILLITY, DEATH ANGEL, D.R.I., FEAR FACTORY, FINNTROLL, THE HAUNTED, LEAVES' EYES, OVERKILL, SEPTIC FLESH, SOILWORK, SWALLOW THE SUN, SYMPHONY X and XANDRIA.

Are you ready for round four of The Original Heavy Metal Cruise? Imagine starting the year in style: In January 2014, 40 heavy metal bands and 2,000 fans from all over the world will travel once again to the Caribbean for a five day and four night trip of a lifetime... however, this will be the last time we are taking over the luxury cruise ship Majesty Of The Seas.

Make no mistake, this is not one of the cruises where you share the ship with regular cruise guests... and don't get intimidated by copy-cats! Unlike others we remove the seats in the theater, or do you like seated heavy metal shows? This is 70000 Tons Of Metal, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise, featuring the biggest Open Air Stage to sail the open seas!

Enjoy unrestricted festival access to all live shows on board, metal karaoke until sunrise, the All-Star Jam, clinics, work-shops, our infamous Belly Flop Contest, bars that never close, two full days at sea and the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with the artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. It's like everyone has a backstage pass!

And now get this... if you become a ticketed passenger before July 27th, 2013 you will be able to vote for the Caribbean dream destination we will be sailing The Majesty Of The Seas to one last time! More information on the voting procedure and the destinations to choose from will be announced... soon!"
