ROADRUNNER UNITED

'Roadrunner United' was a project organized by the heavy metal record label Roadrunner Records to celebrate its 25th anniversary. It culminated in an album released worldwide on October 11, 2005, entitled '''The All-Star Sessions'''. Four "team captains" were chosen to lead 57 artists from 45 past and present Roadrunner bands, and produce and oversee the album's 18 tracks: Joey Jordison of Slipknot, Murderdolls and Ministry, Matt Heafy of Trivium, Dino Cazares of Asesino and formerly of Brujeria, and Fear Factory; and Robert Flynn of Machine Head and formerly of Vio-lence. The unprecedented project was the brainchild of Roadrunner UK General Manager Mark Palmer and Roadrunner USA VP of A&R Monte Conner. The album project was coordinated by Lora Richardson. ''The All-Star Sessions'' spawned one single ("The End").
