Roadrunner, as it is known today, was established in 1985, opening their first New York office in 1986. In 2000, Slipknot became their first band to go platinum. Some of their current most successful artists include Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Machine Head, Nickelback, Opeth, Slipknot, Soulfly, DragonForce, 3 Inches of Blood and Stone Sour. Some of their most recent acquisitions include Black Label Society, The Dresden Dolls, Megadeth, New York Dolls, Nightwish and Porcupine Tree. They are rumored to be in talks with Drowning Pool.

Also worth mentioning is the fact that Roadrunner records is Dream Theater’s favorite label.
Roadrunner were also the record company for old Sepultura albums.

Roadrunner started out as a thrash metal label but then played a huge part in the early death metal movement.

    these guys just follow the trends. notice how they dropped all their death metal bands in the mid-90s. [3] This is one shitty and greedy label. (2). This label jumps on every single pseudo-metal/rock band that comes out, makes them rich, rakes in the cash, and completely shits on the metal community's image. We're apparently all a bunch of immature, conformity obsessed teenagers who try to fit in by faking personalities, and we apparently listen to a bunch of emo infused distorted guitar playing simplified hard rock/alternative bands who's fans call them 'hardcore'. Great! Thanks for helping conceive such a massive, ignorant, label-driven misconception! Metal fans worldwide really appreciate it, greedy assholes! Fuck off and die, Roadrunner ;)

    this shit of being tr00 and aliened to a unique sound is ridiculous! music is like food. some like vegetables, you know it's good but you don't like to eat or prepare. metal is like your best favourite food, tastes very well!
