The Mayhem Cruise, which was due to sail from Miami to the Bahamas between December 7th-12th has been officially cancelled.

The cruise was to have featured headline sets by Lamb of God, Machine Head, Anthrax, Suicide Silence, Hatebreed and Kingdom of Sorrow. According to the organizers, the cruise was cancelled due to “circumstances beyond [our] control”.

Fans can get a full refund to their credit/debit cards from the point of purchase. Organizers have also said that ticket holders will be entitled to a free lifetime pass to the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Summer tour.

Lamb of God’s frontman Randy Blythe is now back in the US after posting a $400,000 bail. He will return to the Czech Republic at a later date, should the ongoing manslaughter case require him to do so.

Anthrax, meanwhile, are working on a selection of cover tunes, which may (or may not) appear on a deluxe edition of ‘Worship Music‘ at a later date.

Throughout 2012, 80s thrash band Death Angel have been playing shows throughout the US supporting Anthrax and Testament.

The band have now announced a string of headline slots of the own, between upcoming shows with Anthrax and Testament in October.

The headline shows – which will feature Death Angel performing their cult 1987 debut ‘The Ultra-Violence’ in its entirety – will take place at the following venues:

Oct. 07 – West Springfield, VA – Empire
Oct. 09 – Charlotte, NC – The Casbah
Oct. 10 – Atlanta, GA – The Earl
Oct. 11 – Jacksonville, FL – The Roc Bar
Oct. 12 – Tampa, FL – Orpheum Theatre
Oct. 13 – Miami, FL – Churchill’s
Oct. 14 – Orlando, FL – The Social
Oct. 16 – San Antonio, TX – Korova
Oct. 17 – El Paso, TX – House of Rock
Oct. 18 – Tempe, AZ – Rocky Point Cantina
Oct. 19 – West Hollywood, CA – Whisky A Go Go
Oct. 20 – Santa Rosa, CA – Last Day Saloon
Oct. 21 – San Jose, CA – The Rodeo Club

Death Angel released their last studio album ‘Relentless Retribution’ (their third since reforming in 2004) in 2010. In 2012, the band issued a digitally remastered version of ‘The Ultra-Violence’, marking its 25th anniversary.

After months of promising his next project would return to his hardcore roots, the first material has surfaced from Frank Turner’s new band.

The new band, Mongol Horde, steps away from Turner’s semi-acoustic politically charged solo output and places him more in line with Million Dead, the hardcore punk band with which he first achieved success. Although it may attract comparisons with UK hardcore band Gallows, Turner himself says the new material takes influence from Hot Snakes and seminal noisemakers The Jesus Lizard.
