On Thursday December 15th at the Nokia theatre in New York City a celebration of metal took place. It was a celebration to mark the 25th anniversary of Roadrunner records, a metal label that bought us bands like Sepultura, Soulfly, Fear Factory, Machine Head, Spineshank, Life of Agony, Chimaira and Nightwish. The had previously released an album of original material written by four "team captains", Dino Cazaries(ex-fear factory/Divine herasy), Robb Flynn(Ex Vio-lence/Machine (****ing)head), Matt Heafy(Trivium) and Joey Jordinson(The murderdolls/slipknot), and the music was performed by a who's who group of metal musicians from Jeff Waters(annihilator)to Howard Jones(Killswitch engage) to Dave Chivari(Ill nino).
Soon after they decided to do a concert, with the "core" band being Dino Cazaries, Andreas Kisser, JoeyJordinson, Roy Mayorga, Paul Grey and Adam Duce, now three years later the DVD has arrived and I couldn't help but pick it up...the following is the review of disc 2 the actual concert.....
