https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh https://www.epitaph.com/ Kathie is among the Roadrunner lifers. Aside from a short stint at other outfits in the early 90s, she clocked in over two decades at the label. In this conversation we track her career through Roadrunner from her start in the radio promo department, all the way up to runing the West Coast Operations.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh https://www.fortressmelbourne.com/ Jon worked at Roadrunner for the best part of 20 years, first of all as the MD of the Australasia office, then as SVP for New Media & Global Business Development. As such, Jon has an enormous welath of experience to impart when reminiscing about the label. Jon's foray into emerging tech and the digital space didn't stop...

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh Marcus Turner is to indie-era Roadrunner, what the pulmonary artery is to the human body. That is all.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh Shab takes the opportunity to rant about the Darkness' second album for a bit on this one. The intro was not chopped to sound like it did.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh https://toxiktad.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Lucertola-224232944278330 Toxik Tad talks me through the band's time with Roadrunner Records, his time filling in on drums for the Great Kat, and bringing Morrisound's studio's Tom Morris close to death not once, but on two occassions.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh https://www.riotactpodcast.com/   A voice like @StephenHillBoy's has been missing from this project up until today. Incredibly knowledgeable and articulate, Stephen talks me through his perspective and experiences with Roadrunner Records.   Check out @Riotact_podcast and @Roadcrewpod at your earliest convenience.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh https://www.waltariband.com/ A thoroughly enjoyable chat for myself. Kärtsy and I try to provide a comprehensive introduction to Finnish legends, Waltari - as well as discussing the band's tenure with Roadrunner in the early 90's.

Shab goes off the rails with his 'founders of metalcore' theory. It's not to the point of tedium yet, so we should support him through what must be a difficult time for him.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh https://www.xentrix.co.uk/   Thrash legends Xentrix are one of the 'Big Four' of the UK, and one of a mere few direct signings to the UK territory for Roadrunner. Stan helps me unpack Xentrix's tenure with the label, and the more recent adventures of the group.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh https://www.harddriveradio.com/ You'd be hard pressed to find a Roadrunner band or colleague who doesn't know this episode's guest.

Here he talks about his days in the 'Death Metal Animal House', and his career trajectory at Roadrunner and beyond. We only get...

The Welsh take a hit in this one. Sorry guys.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh Most of this episode is Dave catching up on topics that have been discussed over the past few weeks, but there's also spatterings of Sasscore and a quick jaunt into Sci-Fi Metal.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh https://www.podcast.theblogofrock.com This episode I'm joined by Uwe Lerch.

From there, Uwe enjoyed stints at Roadrunner, Sony Music, and currently hosts an excellent podcast called The Blog Of Rock - linked above.

After running through the gambit of news this week, we take a brief trip down nostalgia lane of our most memorable gig experiences.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh https://www.facebook.com/atrophyofficial This episode I speak to Atrophy's very own Brian Zimmerman. Atrophy were signed to Roadrunner Records in the late 80's and produced two records under their sponsorship. Brian tells me about those days, the band's current activities, and then he shows me the dead dude he has buried in his front garden.
