Lamb Of God's inaugural Headbangers Boat cruise sailed from Miami, Florida to Nassau, Bahamas for a 4-day trip this past Halloween, October 31, 2023, and it was completely sold out, with attendees from 21 countries. LOG performed two sets on-board, including their classic album Ashes Of The Wake in its entirety.

A stellar collection of their metal brethren also played live on board, including: Mastodon, Testament, Hatebreed, GWAR, Malevolence, Bleed From Within, Municipal Waste, Shadows Fall, Lacuna Coil, God Forbid, Gatecreeper, Fit For An Autopsy, Vio-lence, Dying Wish, plus a Mark Morton acoustic set (with friends).

Other on-board delights included a DJ set from Killswitch Engage's Jesse Leach, comedy from Frank Castillo and Steve Furey, a poker tournament hosted by LOG's John Campbell (he also played the winner), a drum off hosted by LOG's Art Cruz, theme nights, a tattoo studio including celebrity tattoo artists, Black Label bingo, a BrewDog alcoholic/non-alcoholic beer tasting hosted by LOG frontman Randy Blythe (who also held an In Conversation/Q&A event along with a photo gallery featuring his iconic photography), a battleshots tournament, tales galore from Riki Rachtman during 'One Foot In The Galley', karaoke, trivia quiz with Jose Mangin, Guitar Hero Mornings, and photo/autograph opportunities.

Outside of all that, also on the ship fans enjoyed the spa, swimming pool, hot tubs, jogging track, casino, fitness centre, sports courts, over a dozen restaurants and bars, a screening of LOG's Making Of: Omens documentary, and a wide range of excursions while on shore in the Bahamas (even swimming with pigs in the crystal blue ocean!). This immersive, hell-raisin' trip was the ultimate holiday for the metal fan.
