Roadrunner Allstars

Today's post is a bit odd as it features a collection of past and present musicians who have been associated with the RoadRunner Records label. 'Roadrunner United' is an album based around four captains. The captains chosen were Joey Jordison (Slipknot/Murderdolls), Matt Heafy (Trivium), Dino Cazares (Fear Factory/Brujeria) and Robert Fylnn (Machine Head/Vio-Lence). Released in 2005 the album boasts 57 musicians from 45 past and present RoadRunner acts. Vocalists range from the likes of Howard Jones (ex Killswitch Engage), Glenn Benton (Deicide), Dani Filth (Cradle Of Filth), Matt Heafy (Trivium), Mikael Akerfeld (Opeth), and King Diamond. The 'backing' bands feature members of the like of Slipknot, King Diamond, Coal Chamber, Trivium, Annihilator, Death, Stone Sour, Soulfly and many many more. Musically it's a pretty solid collection of original material. This was a really well thought out project. Well worth a listen if for anything the quality of musicians on this record.
