'''''Roadrunner United''''' was a project organized by the [[Heavy metal music|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 (band)|Slipknot]] and [[Murderdolls]]; Matt Heafy of Trivium; [[Dino Cazares]] of [[Fear Factory]], [[Asesino]] and [[Divine Heresy]] and formerly of [[Brujeria]]; and [[Robert Flynn]] of [[Machine Head (band)|Machine Head]] and formerly of [[Vio-lence]] and [[Forbidden]]. 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 and was mixed by [[Colin Richardson]] and [[Andy Sneap]]. ''The All-Star Sessions'' spawned one single ("The End"). The DVD included with the CD purchase is a documentary of the "Making Of" the songs. It features the sessions of the four team captains making their songs.
