Roadrunner Records is proud to announce that we will be releasing the brand new album ‘1-800 Vindication’ by Danish death metal titans Illdisposed on October 4. The band recently have moved the mixing process of their new album, “1-800 Vindication”, to the Antfarm Studio in Aarhus, Denmark, with producer Tue Madsen at the helm. Here’s a statement from guitarist Jakob Batten: “After all we were very satisfied about Ziggy’s job as producer. The mixing process just went ahead too slowly and in the end we felt that it needed 20% of power and some ‘air’ before we were completely satisfied about it. We handed it over to Tue Thursday last week, and now we have the mix we wanted. It will be sent to Roadrunner later this week.” The track listing of ‘1-800 Vindication’ is as follows: 1. I Believe In Me 2. Dark 3. Now We’re History 4. When You Scream 5. Jeff 6. In Search Of Souls 7. Still Sane 8. You Against The World 9. No More Time 10. The Final Step For more info, stay tuned to the ILLDISPOSED artist page.

Slipknot are confirmed to replace David Bowie at Roskilde tonight. The guys will now be doing 2 shows this evening í¢ä‰åäóì Full Force in Germany AND Roskilde! Slipknot played the T-Mobile Park in Prague last night. Immediately after the concert they packed up their gear and jumped on the bus to travel the 1,600 kilometres to Roskilde. And as if that wasn’t enough, tonight, immediately after their Roskilde gig, the band will jump on a plane to go to the Full Force Festival in Leipzig where they will be playing tonight also at 1:00.

If we had to guess, we’d venture to think that if you are on this site, you are aware of the band Cradle Of Filth. Whether you are aware or not that they are now a Roadrunner Records artist, let alone know of their storied 10 year past since the band’s 1994 debut, is another story. That being said, we have a story for you to read – check out Cradle Of Filth’s BIO and educate yourself. NEW MUSIC from Cradle’s debut Roadrunner Release coming soon…

Who Would You Most Like To Meet And Why? Ricky (Drummer, Chimaira): “I would like to meet myself so I could see what I’m doing wrong. As far as heroes, I would say: My Nightshade, my Mom and Dad, Deen Custronova, Nebosja Novacovic, Angus Young, Eddie Van Halen.” Joel (Guitarist, Killswitch Engage): “Wilford Brimley. Any man with such an amazing mustache has to possess great wisdom. Right on, man. Quaker Oats Rule!”
