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.

Necrobutcher To Have Spirits Released On TV

Evangelist Bob Larson, host of several radio and television programs, leads one of the only modern practices of Christian Exorcisms(see video below), will now attempt to remove the demons from Mayhem bassist Jorn Stubberud (aka Necrobutcher) in a live TV event for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corp, the largest, and governtment owned, media company in Norway. Apparrently his demons are so embedded thay have to send him to Arizona to unleash them upon the US, or maybe there is a secret in the dessert we have yet to see?

Speaking to the German edition of the Metal Hammer magazine at this past weekend's Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany, Stubberud said, "NRK is sending me over to Phoenix, Arizona next week. There's this famous preacher. I'm not a believer, so I think he's a quack. A very religious guy. He's an excorcist; that's what he does. I'm just there for the fun of it. He's gonna perform an exorcism on me on national TV. So it's gonna be wild as f-ck and, of course, I don't expect to suddenly be free from some demons or whatever. I'm just there for the fun of it and for the hell of it."

He added, "All religious people, when they talk about [how] they talked to God or God talked to them, stuff like that, I know it's a lie. Because they look at all the people, they speak in tongue, it's a mass, they get into that stuff, they think, 'If I behave like that guy, all the people will think that I truly have an open connection straight to God' or whatever. But for us, enlightened people, we know that it's all bullsh-t, that they're full of f-cking lies and shit. And that's why I'm there — to give a little punch and a kick in the ass to this little quack and people saying that they have direct contact with God and shit like that."

By the late 1980s, in what would come to define his later ministry, Larson was often heard performing exorcisms of callers on the air, including Glen Benton of the death metal band DEICIDE, who became a regular caller.
