Mayhem Festival takes to the sea with inaugural heavy metal cruise

Lamb of God, Anthrax and Hatebreed will take part in the inaugural Mayhem Festival Cruise, which will take heavy metal fans to the Bahamas and back.

The Mayhem Cruise will depart Miami on Dec. 7 and set off for Nassau, Bahamas, on the Carnival Imagination before returning Dec. 10. Along the way, performances by Lamb of God, Anthrax, Hatebreed, Machine Head, Suicide Silence and Kingdom of Sorrow, among others. DJ sets by JDevil (Jonathan Davis of Korn), DJ Starscream (Sid of Slipknot) and Mechanize (Lee McKinney of Born of Osiris) will take place every evening, according to a press release.

Reservations can be made now via the event's website.

Daily artist panels, comedy shows and a full casino will also be part of the cruise schedule.

The inaugural cruise comes nearly six months after the wrap-up of this year's Mayhem Festival tour, which got underway in late June and concludes Aug. 5 in Hartford, CT. Anthrax, Slipknot and Slayer are among the outing's headliners. More information about the run is available here.
