Artist Spotlight 7000tons of Metal 2024: Avulsed

Countdown to 2025: 65 Days

SOOOOOOON, the famous word for 70000tons of Metal cruisers know to love and hate. And one thing you learn is announcements are always unpredictable. After experiencing the 2024 edition to its fullest capability, we captured all sixty-two bands, bringing back our Artist Spotlight, our countdown to the 2025 voyage, leaving on January 30 in Miami, setting sail to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and returning on February 3, 2025. Round 12, the 2024 experience, took place from January 29 – February 2, sailing from Miami to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, on the Freedom of the Seas.

70000tons 2024 Round 12: ARTIST 6 of 62 – Avulsed

Spain’s underground death metal veterans Avulsed embarked on the metal seas for their first voyage, marking their debut set on the ship on Day 1, January 29, 2024, at Studio B Ice Rink Theater at 3:45 AM, with their second set on Day 4, February 1, 2024, at the intimate Star Lounge at 1:00 PM. With heavy eyes, we made it to their first set, catching them in varying dark lights and experiencing their brutal energy on the tall stage.

What’s next for Avulsed?

Avulsed have had a handful of performances and festival appearances since then, including their return to the United States for the 2024 edition of Maryland Deathfest. While the group released a few singles in 2023, it appears their follow-up to 2016’s Deathgeneration could potentially be released by March 2025. With 28 years since the release of their debut album, Eminence in Putrescence, a Tribute to Avulsed record is now in the works. Avulsed have a string of dates, listed in the below image, set for the rest of this year and into next.

What is the Artist Spotlight?

Well, it’s more than a review of their performance; as 70000tons goes, each band is a headliner, and we treat each one as such, giving them their own spread, discussing who they are and what they’ve been up to since the cruise. Each spotlight coincides with any updates from 70000tons organizers (if any), leading to days before setting sail. An extensive coverage like no other.

What does 70000tons 2025 look like?

There’s a reason why we want to keep going until we can’t. With at least 120 promised shows, bands performing twice within four days, including an All-Star Jam, Belly Flop Contest, Shore Excursions, meet and greets, clinics, workshops, pool girls and boys, hot tub mosh pits, cosplay madness, and much more. 2025, round 13 of 70000tons of Metal will bring cruisers back on the Independence of the Seas, setting sail on January 30 from Miami to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and returning to Miami on February 3, 2025.
