'Roadrunner United' was a project organized by the heavy metal record label Roadrunner Records to celebrate its 25th anniversary. On December 15th, 2005, in New York City, the label produced the metal concert to end all metal concerts: 39 musicians, representing 25 different Roadrunner bands, performed 25 songs from 19 different bands' repertoire.
This unique and unprecedented aggregation of musicians was no jam session. Each song was studiously rehearsed and arranged, coming together with exuberant perfection, to produce a concert that can only be called 'legend'.
This 2LP set represents the gathering of a community of musicians that spans the heavy metal history of the first 25 years of Roadrunner Records: from King Diamond to Slipknot and beyond. Those who were lucky enough to be there experienced a night they will never forget. For the first time as a live concert album, this 2LP set is a chance to relive that special night again and again.
