02/05/10 - Roadrunner Votes on Top 10 Albums of the 00's

Don't adjust your web browser -- we know it's February 2010, but as we move through the first couple months of this new decade, we can't help but reflect on some great music from the not-so-distant past.

Since 1986, Roadrunner Records’ US contingent has proudly carved itself a niche in hard and heavy music. In later years we’ve branched out to radio rock and even the alt/indie field, but when it came time to rate the Top 10 albums of the first decade of this millennium, our staff and artists alike kept with Roadrunner’s traditions, and focused mainly on metal – with a few surprises in the mix.

Though you’ll find a lot of Roadrunner releases in our consensus list below, know that this Top 10 was compiled of over 40 entries from Roadrunner employees around the globe and even includes the opinions of artists like Max Cavalera, Corey Taylor, Matt Heafy, Joel Stroetzel and much more.

So here’s the Top 10 that most of us agreed on, and judging by our tie for the number four position and three-way tie for number 9, it wasn’t all in perfect harmony.

1. Killswitch Engage – The End of Heartache
2. Killswitch Engage – Alive or Just Breathing
3. System of a Down - Toxicity
4. Deftones – White Pony4. At the Drive-In – Relationship of Command
5. Opeth – Blackwater Park
6. Tool – Lateralus
7. Mastodon – Crack the Skye
8. Glassjaw – Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence
9. Slipknot – Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)
9. Radiohead – In Rainbows
9. Iron Maiden – Brave New World
10. Muse - Absolution

02/01/10 - The Making Of Snuff - A New Interview With Clown

To celebrate the release of the short film for "Snuff" we had Jen Guyre, formerly of Rhapsody, now a staffer at Roadrunner, talk to Clown about the filming of Snuff and his inspiration as a film maker. You can read the full interview below, enjoy!

M. Shawn Crahan Discusses “Snuff” From Behind The Camera
By Jen Guyre

As Slipknot’s 4th single from their #1 album All Hope is Gone sonically demonstrates a departure from the Iowa contingent’s staple heaviosity, showcasing a more emotional side with a profound message, it couldn’t be a better moment for M. Shawn Crahan – the percussionist better known as Clown, but the director better known by his given name – to take his filmography to the next level as well. Turning Corey Taylor’s conflicted verse “Snuff” into a heart rendering and head-scratching short film, Crahan describes the work as “a love story… It’s not transvestite stuff or Hollywood hookers, this is just a completely detached love story.” Read on to find out more about Crahan’s cinematic vision, personal attachment to the song, and what went into the making of the film.


How did you come up with the concept for this short film?
I think everybody was feeling the pressure of this video because of the caliber of the song and what the song could do and what it makes people feel -- I think everybody was worried. And I knew that my treatment was going to be a hard sell. If they don’t really see it and taste it and deem it something that can be worthwhile, you’re not going to get a chance to do it. So it was very important that I write something that was not going to justify the word ‘snuff’ in what the literal word [means], because I don’t support that, and I’m not going to make something that would support that. I had to go [deep], and a lot of it just came around this story that Corey has written and these lyrics about, more or less, this person who’s so gone and will not return, that she’s basically dead, but he becomes her and that became more or less the definition of ‘snuff.’ So it was important that I tried to give Corey as much integrity behind what he was doing, because I was in his house, he played it as a demo, and it affected me then, and I’ve been writing it ever since. I wanted to do something that was a love story that could be that moment that all of us get to where we don’t realize that we could get to that place, but then time slows down and we might have a moment of just rage or depression or fits of anxiety, and life changes, and we just never knew we could actually step into those boundaries -- that’s more or less what this is about. It’s not transvestite stuff or Hollywood hookers, this is just a completely detached love story.
