The reason I took on the task of exploring the history of Roadrunner Records is pretty simple: the knowledge gaps among the community are substantial (and borderline embarrassing), the story itself is fascinating…and most importantly, metal as a community has a lot to learn from the greatest that ever did it. And just as I had to when spellcheck forced me to remove the letter ‘u’ from so many words…you’re just gonna have to get over it.įor this task, I’ll be pulling in various materials from my research supporting my upcoming documentary, which includes the Temple of Bleh Podcast, and other wider sources.

Since it’s a sprint, I’m going to leave out some of your favorite bands and memorable events.
