Mayhem Cruise Cancelled

It appears that the organizers of the most mainstream metal cruise have decided to cancel their jaunt through the Caribbean scheduled for early December. No real reason has been given regarding the demise of this version of the metal boat, but it is really speculation that it might have something to do with Lamb of God lead singer, headliner of the cruise, being jailed for over a month and scheduling their own tour in the fall, but like I said nothing is really mentioned in the official statement:

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control we have been forced to cancel the Mayhem Festival Cruise. If you purchased a cruise package, you will be automatically refunded to the credit card you used to purchase. If you used a prepaid card or gift card to purchase the cruise, please contact Rose Tours for your refund (215-663-8800). If you used a credit or debit card, you will see the credit within the next 2 to 3 weeks. 

We are also offering anyone who purchased a cruise ticket a lifetime complimentary pass to the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival Summer Tour.  You will still receive your cruise refund in addition to the lifetime pass to the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival Tour.  This pass is valid on any tour date beginning in 2013. Details on getting these lifetime passes will be announced shortly on mayhemcruise.com.

At least you can expect to be taken care of as an early buyer for this one, and you can always hit 70000 Tons of Metal or the Barge to Hell to get your high seas fix of metal.
