MASTERPLAN announced that drummer Martin “Marthus” Skaroupka will be unable to perform at the band’s performances on the upcoming Full Metal Cruise, which sets sail on May 5th-12th, 2013. To fill in, the band has tapped Luca Turill’s RHAPSODY‘s drummer Alex Landenburg (21 Octayne/Mekong Delta).

Masterplan is about to release the new LP “Novum Initium” on May 17, 2013 through AFM Records. The band welcomes new members: Jari Kainulainen (Ex-Stratovarius) on bass, Skaroupka (Cradle of Filth) on drums and new vocalist Rick Altzi. Landenburg played with Altzi in At Vance, which is how he came to be contacted:

“Rick called me to ask whether I had some time and wanted to do it. I said yes, and later Roland [Grapow] called me and we spoke about the details. Obviously, Rick [with At Vance] and Jari [with Symfonia] are friends of mine, who I have played with before” explains Landenburg.

The Full Metal Cruise starts in Hamburg and will call at three ports: Southampton in the south west of England, La Havre at the French coast of the English Channel and Amsterdam in the Netherlands before returning to Hamburg. Bands scheduled to appear are:

Bembers, Betontod, Blaas Of Glory, Circle II Circle, Devil’s Train, Dew-Scented, Doro, Eric Fish, Eskimo Callboy, Firewind, Gamma Ray, Heaven Shall Burn, In Extremo, Kreator, Mambo Kurt, Masterplan, Mutz Unplugged, Onkel Tom, Sabaton, Santiano, U.D.O., Van Canto.

U.D.O., SABATON, CIRCLE II CIRCLE, VAN CANTO and ESKIMO COWBOY are the latest acts confirmed for the first and the biggest metal cruise in Europe, the Full Metal Cruise, set to sail from from May 5th to 12th of 2013.

Confirmed acts now include: BETONTOD, CIRCLE II CIRCLE, DORO, ESKIMO COWBOY, FIREWIND, GAMMA RAY, IN EXTREMO, SABATON, U.D.O., VAN CANTO

The Full Metal Cruise starts in Hamburg, Germany and enters the harbors of Southampton, UK, Le Havre, France and Amsterdam, Netherlands. After seven days full of sea and relaxing and metal and party feeling, the ship then returns to Hamburg with a special show at the harbor anniversary fest. While there will be big fireworks and a special show on onboard, the cruise will return to the harbor and this will be one of the many things leading to a great overall experience for every metal-sailor!

The special features of this Metal Cruise:
– Drinks and food are included
– No difficult travelling to the starting point – Hamburg, the gateway to the world!
– Concerts take place onboard and onshore
– Interesting shore excursions for every metal-heart

More than 20 high-quality bands from the metal and rock scene will perform on three stages at the Mein Schiff 1.

In the many lounges onboard, the metalheads can party and meet the artists – nowhere else it is possible to have such a direct connection to the musicians. Furthermore, metalheads can book shore excursions with more concerts at the harbors. The line up of the shows at the seaports and onboard of the cruise will be announced soon.

“Heavy and hard music and a cruise don’t conflict with each other”, says Wacken boss Thomas Jensen. “With the Full Metal Cruise we want to bring a real Metal festival to the sea!”
