Heard of Roadrunner Records?  Of course you have.  Every one worth their salt in the music industry and even us small time music fans know who Roadrunner Records are.  The likes of Slipknot, Staind, Black Stone Cherry and Cradle of Filth are among the bands currently signed to them.

The record label decided to release an album by mixing the musicians together from the last 25 years and recording “Roadrunner United: The All-Star Sessions”

So what happened next.  Well, 3 years ago, Roadrunner United had a concert at the Nokia theatre which was in Times Square in New York.  Well for thise of us who were unfortunate to not get a ticket for that even are in for a bit of a treat.  The label are releasing the concert on a double disc dvd and is going to be available from the 9th of December so get your copy reserved now!

Want to know what kind of music is on it?  Have a look at the Roadrunner Records site for more information, but here is a little snippet to get your mouth watering!

“Roadrunner United The Concert captures the festive intensity of the evening. A house band, featuring members of core Roadrunner acts such as Slipknot, Sepultura and Machine Head, performed hits and classics culled from the entirety of the Roadrunner catalog. Some of the highlights included Slipknot/Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor performing “Bother” with Life of Agony’s Keith Caputo; former Killswitch Engage singer Jesse Leach dueting with current vocalist Howard Jones for KsE’s “My Last Serenade”; an assortment of frontmen handling vocals for staple songs like Slipknot’s “(Sic)” and “Surfacing,” Machine Head’s “Davidian,” King Diamond’s “Abigail,” Sepultura’s “Refuse/Resist,” Type O Negative’s “Black No. 1,” Soulfly’s “Eye For an Eye” as well as four songs from the Roadrunner United: The All-Star Sessions album. The double disc set also includes a 75-minute documentary, complete with interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, making it an even more intimate, fan-friendly experience!”

Here’s a video of one of my favourites that have been released.
