Released on October 11th, debuting at #76 on Billboard's Top 200 album charts, Roadrunner United, The All Star Sessions, is a groundbreaking album which, according to Kerrang Magazine, is 'a superb arse-flaying metal record,' and 'boasts no weak points.'

Created as the ultimate celebration of the label's anniversary, the album features 55 artists from 42 different past/current Roadrunner bands playing 18 original songs written by 4 chosen captains. It is a true master-class in hard rock/metal that also includes a DVD, shot by Techtronic Rocket Society (Chimaira The Dehumanizing Process DVD) with a full hour of behind-the-scenes footage on the recording of the album."
