LAMB OF GOD have finalized the lineup for their 2026 Headbangers Boat Cruise, adding HARM'S WAY, SOILENT GREEN, and CHAINED SAINT to complete the bill. The metal cruise event, curated entirely by the Richmond, Virginia groove metal titans, offers fans an intimate at-sea experience with some of heavy music's most formidable acts performing in a uniquely immersive environment far removed from conventional festival settings.
The cruise concept has grown increasingly popular in the metal world, with events like 70000 TONS OF METAL proving that metalheads are eager to combine their love of heavy music with oceanic adventure. LAMB OF GOD's iteration puts the band in the role of curators, hand-selecting artists that reflect their own musical tastes and the aggressive spirit of their fanbase. HARM'S WAY bring their punishing blend of hardcore and industrial metal, while SOILENT GREEN — fellow New Orleans heavyweights — deliver the kind of grinding, sludge-infused extremity that pairs perfectly with LAMB OF GOD's own intensity. CHAINED SAINT rounds out the additions.
LAMB OF GOD have been building serious momentum ahead of their twelfth studio album "Into Oblivion," due March 13 via Century Media and Epic Records. The album has already spawned three singles — "Sepsis," which hit number one on the U.S. metal radio charts, and "Parasocial Christ," both of which showcase a band operating at peak ferocity. Vocalist Randy Blythe described the upcoming album as being about "the ongoing and rapid breakdown of the social contract, particularly here in America," signaling that the band's lyrical edge remains as sharp as ever.
Remaining cruise cabins are selling fast, and organizers urge interested fans to secure their spots before the voyage sells out completely.
