The label has been celebrating 25 years through the release of several 25th Anniversary Special Editions of landmark Roadrunner records including classic albums from Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Sepultura, Coal Chamber, Soulfly, Killswitch Engage and others.

October 11th marked the release of a groundbreaking album from Roadrunner United, The All Star Sessions, 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 45 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 with a full hour of behind-the-scenes footage on the recording of the album.

The DVD that accompanies the album was shot by Techtonic Rocket Society (Chimaira The Dehumanizing Project DVD) and captures all aspects of the recording of the album through interviews and in-studio footage. It films captains Jordison in Des Moines, IA, Robert Flynn (Machine Head) in San Francisco, Cazares in Los Angeles and Matt Heafy (Trivium) in Florida. Along with interviews with all four captains, the DVD Includes interviews with many of the album's featured artists, including Glen Benton (Deicide), King Diamond, Mike D'Antonio (Killswitch Engage) Dave Chavarri (Ill Nino) , Jeff Waters (Annihilator) , Matt DeVries (Chimaira), Logan Mader (ex Machine Head), Roy Mayorga (ex Soulfly) and many others.

Roadrunner United’s The All-Star Sessions features the first single “The End.” Written by Cazares and featuring Heafy on vocals, the song is already catching fire at radio with adds at WBUZ in Nashville, WJJO in Madison, WBZX in Columbus, KILO in Colorado Springs, WIYY in Baltimore and more. Additionally the video for the song debuted on Fuse’s Metal Asylum on Wednesday, October 12th along with an interview with Dez Fafara of DevilDriver, Cristian Macado & Dave Chavarri from Ill Nino, Josh Silver from Type O Negative and Cazares. A performance of the Jordison-penned song “Tired & Lonely” which features Jordison on drums, Keith Caputo (Life of Agony) on vocals, Nadja Puelen (ex Coal Chamber) on bass, Matt Baumbach (Vision of Disorder) and Acey Slade (Murderdolls) on guitars and Omar Clavijo (Ill Nino) on keyboards will air on FUSE this Friday, October 14th and include an interview.
