Apparently this is ... real? Forty metal bands on a luxury liner for a 5-day 4-night Caribbean cruise -- a Metalocalypse episode in the making, for sure.

Confirmed bands so far:

Amon Amarth
Death Angel
Epica
Finntroll
Moonspell
Obituary
Raven
Saxon
Sodom
Sonata Arctica
Stratovarius
Swashbuckle
Trouble
Uli Jon Roth
Witchburner

Prices per cabin are in the $800-1400 range, plus $250 per person for "taxes, pre-paid gratuities, port charges, booking, and ticketing." More info here:

I'm 99% certain I will not be aboard this ship, but a lot can change in nine months. Part of me isn't even convinced this is real.

Anyway, here is a link to the metal-archives thread where people are discussing it.

There are some great bands on this roster!

Yeah I'm pretty sure I won't be aboard this either although it would be nice!

Just noticed the title of the post got cut off. That's supposed to say "to Cozumel" at the end, because that's where this cruise is going.

sodom alone would be worth it. too rich for me though

I have been to Cozumel once and was sick as a fucking dog. In my book, Cozumel is Hell.

This could be a lot of fun in theory, but these bands aren't the right mix for me. I have a bad feeling that this ship is going to burn.

Um, wow. Aren't most metal fans too fucking broke to afford something like this? Or is it just me?

Amon Amarth should just kill the ship's crew, order everyone to grab an oar and start terrorizing the Caribbean.
