Roadrunner United The Concert
Artist: ROADRUNNER UNITED THE CONCERTRelease Date: December 9, 2008
Description: Click to expandIn its first 25 years, Roadrunner Records has been the label through which fans could find the best music in the hard rock and heavy metal genres. From seminal early releases by artists such as King Diamond, Deicide and Obituary to the mainstream success of bands like Type O Negative, Fear Factory and Machine Head, to the current crop of bands which includes such metal innovators as Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, Opeth and Trivium, Roadrunner has always stayed ahead of the curve- setting trends instead of following them.
Roadrunner United is a celebration of the ever-evolving face of metal and of the lasting impression one label and its artists have made on it.
On one legendary evening metal's finest gathered at the Nokia Theater in New York City in an all out aural assault. This is that show. Enjoy.

The All Star Sessions
Artist: ROADRUNNER UNITED THE CONCERTRelease Date: October 11, 2005
Description: Click to expandRoadrunner Records has put together a groundbreaking record to mark the label's 25th Anniversary. The group is called Roadrunner United and the album titled The All-Star Sessions. This full length release, in stores on October 11, 2005, is a 'master-class' in hard rock/metal. Boasting 57 artists from 45 of Roadrunner's past and present bands, the album will contain original tracks that are collaborations between numerous Roadrunner stars.
Four central musicians were originally chosen to produce and write the songs. Joey Jordison (Slipknot), Dino Cazares (ex-Fear Factory/Brujeria), Robert Flynn (Machine Head) and Matthew Heafy (Trivium). These four musicians play on the songs they have written and have also assembled a unique team of artists to appear on each track. In order to cover as wide a spectrum as possible, no musician has played for more than one writer/producer and each song features a different vocalist.
In addition to these stellar teams of musicians, there will also be special additional tracks from ex-Roadrunner artist, Josh Silver - Type O Negative's longtime producer / keyboardist. In the spirit of the project, Silver has included Roadrunner artists on his tracks as well? Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt appears on the Silver-written "Roads."
