Tuesday, March 12, 2013 2013 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival Announced Just announced today!! Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival!! Should be an awesome show! This year featuring: Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Mastodon, Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Behemoth, Emmure, Born of Osiris, Motionless in White, Thrown In To Exhile, Machine Head, Job For A Cowboy, Butcher Babies, Battlecross, Huntress, Citi In The Sea, and more TBA
Honestly, the line up isn't terrible but it's repeat city. I know that's to be expected of Mayhem, but some of the repeats don't even make sense. Machine Head doesn't have a new album in the works. And the shitty bands are exceptionally shitty. Empire and MIW are just pathetic, and Sumerian bands are also shit. There's still some hope for some kind of cool new band from like Relapse or something with the TBA, so we'll see. I've seen all the bands I care about on the lineup in better conditions, so the only thing I'd miss if I skip is possibly hearing new Mastodon material.
I'd go for: Rob Zombie (like his stage show), Five Finger Death Punch (guilty pleasure, come at me), Mastodon, Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Machine Head, Battlecross, Huntress, and possibly the TBA if they are good.
Also, gonna fanboy, glad to see that 5 years later Mastodon moves up at least one spot on the totem pole. I'd be a little peeved if they were on Mayhem opening the main stage again.
So I posted what John posted on MetalSetlists. The admin of the website deleted it along with everybody's response. WK also got a cease and desist letter from Mayhem Fest.

Butcher Babies is just as bad as all those deathcore bands you got before. They're basically the equivalent of In This Moment. NO THANKS
But agree... repeat. city.
I guess we know the lineup.
