Об АльбомеRoadrunner Records – одна из ветеранских компаний звукозаписывющей индустрии, в 2005 году бренду исполнилось 25 лет. За это время компания эволюционировала от услуг импорта к одному из самых авторитетных тяжелых лейблов в мире.

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”.
