The legendary Roadrunner Records label is the subject of a new documentary film

A documentary film is being made about the legendary US record label Roadrunner Records. The documentary aims to tell the story of the company and showcase its pioneering work in metal music.

The documentary is directed by Jim Saxton, known for his “Temple Of Bleh” podcast. The documentary will feature interviews with musicians and employees alike.

“I’m a huge fan of Jim Saxton‘s ‘Temple Of Bleh‘ podcast. Even as someone who lived through all the history he digs up with each episode, I remember things I had long forgotten and gain new insight into Roadrunner‘s history via Jim‘s fresh perspective, sharp insight, and his uncanny ability to place the label’s achievements into a historic framework from both an artist and business perspective. Roadrunner is a label success story like no other in the heavy metal world… and beyond, and it’s about time its story is told in a manner that truly does it justice.”, tells the former A&R Monte Conner.

Roadrunner Records has been home to several big bands such as Slipknot, Sepultura, Dream Theater, Dragonforce, Gojira, Nightwish and Opeth.
