Lamb of God’s inaugural Headbangers Boat cruise festival looks to have been a blast so far.
The cruise left port aboard the Norwegian Pearl on Halloween (October 31st) from Miami. We’ve already reported on Randy Blythe (dressed as Elvis) officiating a Halloween wedding aboard the ship, and elsewhere, footage from the boat has been nothing but good vibes.
For instance, a circle pit broke out in the hot tub during Hatebreed’s set. As captured by Heavy Consequence photographer Kevin Wilson, the hot tubbers set down their margaritas and shimmied to a particularly hooky breakdown.
To be honest, this is probably the chillest mosh in Hatebreed history — Jamey Jasta and company’s brand of beatdown hardcore is specifically geared to incite violent mosh pits. Nonetheless, the boat’s crew still put a stop to the hot tub circle pit after a song or two. Safety first!
In addition to Hatebreed, the cruise lineup also includes Lamb of God, Mastodon, GWAR, Shadows Fall, God Forbid, Fit for an Autopsy, and more. The ship already made a stop in the Bahamas and will return to port in Miami on Saturday (November 4th).
Stay tuned to Heavy Consequence for more coverage from the Headbangers Boat cruise, including a full photo gallery.
