70000tons of Metal 2024 Artist Spotlight: Endseeker

Countdown to 2025: 35 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 19 of 62 Endseeker

Germany’s Endseeker debuted on the metal seas with a relentless display of death metal. We caught their punishing set on Day 2, January 30, 2024, at 4:15 AM, as they closed out Studio B Ice Rink Theater. Unfortunately, we missed their second performance on Day 3, January 31, 2024, at the Star Lounge Theater at 5:45 PM. Day 2 of the cruise is always the most exhausting yet rewarding, offering the chance to see the most bands on board. Despite the late hour and fatigue setting in, we powered through their brutal, unforgiving performance, a rude awakening but absolutely worth it.

What’s next for Endseeker?

What’s next for Endseeker? While their plans for 2025 remain unclear, the group recently concluded their 2024 touring cycle with no updates yet. This could hint at a quiet year ahead to focus on crafting a follow-up to 2023’s Global Worming, or perhaps new announcements are just around the corner. Hopefully, news on their next steps will surface soon.

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.
