Metal On the Open Seas

Start saving your pennies now, kids.  In just a little over a year, what will no doubt be the loudest and scariest boat ride since the Sex Pistols took over the Thames will be happening from Miami, Florida to Cozumel, Mexico with 70000tons of Metal.  January 24, 2011 the cruise embarks with room for 2000 metal fans for 4 days on the high seas with 40 bands playing over the duration.  Only six bands have been confirmed so far, but they are pretty impressive:  Amon Amarth, Sodom, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Trouble, and Witchburner.  Even with just these first six acts, you're looking at quite a wide variety of metal.  I'll certainly check back to see who else gets added over the coming months.  I'm not saying I'm going, but I am very intrigued.  You can find everything from the line-up to the sign-up right here.
