Биография "Roadrunner United"
<< Вернуться к списку всех песен "Roadrunner United"
Юбилей решили отпраздновать оригинально:
— Создать 4 команды, каждую из которых возглавлял бы один “капитан”.
— Каждая команда включает в себя двух гитаристов, басиста и барабанщика.
— Четыре команды должны сыграть по четыре трека, которые предварительно должны быть написаны лидерами (капитанами).
— Все треки должны сопровождаться разными вокалами.
Проект родился в августе 2004-го года, и его возглавили уважаемые в своей среде “капитаны”:
— барабанщик Slipknot, Джои Джордисон;
— фронтмен Machine Head, Роберт Флинн;
— экс-гитарист Fear Factory, Дино Казарес.
— вокалист/гитарист Trivium, Мэтью Хифи.
Полный список музыкантов, принимавших участие в проекте, огромный – 57 личностей из 45 команд! На 77 минутах диска “The All-Star Sessions” можно услышать полную разнообразность стилей металла (black, death, heavy, thrash, gothic, progressive, nu, industrial). Проект зеркально отображает всю историю развития тяжелой музыки. Альбом для всех: и для любителей old school, и для поклонников new. Благодаря полному разнообразию вокалов все треки звучат совершенно “по-новому”.
Команда Джои Джордисона (Slipknot, Murderdolls) выделяется наибольшей разнообразностью композиций: “Annihilation By The Hands Of God” – death-трек в сотрудничестве с вокалом Глэна Бэнтона (Decide), “ Tired N’ Lonely” – вокал Кейта Капуто (Life Of Agony), эмо-композиция “No Way Out” в исполнении Дэрила Палумбо (Glassjaw), металовая “Constitution Down” в исполнении Кайла Томаса (Exhorder), готическая и атмосферная “Enemy Of The State” с вокалом от Питера Стила (Type O Negative).
Команде Роберта Флинна из Machine Head принадлежит вступительный металкор-трек “The Dagger” с вокалом от замечательных Killswitch Engage (Говард Джоунс), классический трэшевый трек “Independent (Voice Of The Voiceless)” в исполнении знаменитого Макса Кавалеры, Slipknot-овский “The Rich Man” от Кори Тэйлора, и напоследок от Vision Of Disorder и Bloodsimple – “Army Of The Sun”.
Команда Дино Казареса (Fear Factory/Brujeira) отличилась следующими композициями: “The Enemy” — металкор с вокалом Марка Хантера из Chimaira, “The End” – мэйнстримовый nu-metal от капитана другой команды Метта Хифи, “Baptized In The Redemption” – трек от Дэза Фафары из DevilDriver, “No Mas Control” – очень неплохая и хитовая композиция Кристиана Мачадо из Ill Nino.
Такой молодой, но уже столь опытный Мэтт Хифи из Trivium возглавляет четвертую команду: “In The Fire” – в исполнении King Diamond, “Dawn Of A Golden Age” – Дэни Филс и Майк Смитт из Suffocation, “Blood & Flames” – трек от бывшего вокалиста Kilswitch Engage и нынешнего Seemless, и “I Don’t Wanna Be (A Superhero)” от Майкла Грейвса из The Misfits.
Качество исполнения поражает, но ведь другого и не следовало ожидать, это же Roadrunner United!
P.S. Процесс записи этого сплита можно увидеть на DVD.
Итог. В этом проекте “верхушка” приняла удачное решение, предоставив капитанам и их командам полную свободу выбора. Roadrunner Records достойно отметила юбилей. Самое главное – они не забыли о тех, для кого всё это создается. Ветеранов навестит ностальгия, новичков же – знакомство со старой школой металла.
