Il s'agit du morceau The Dagger, et il est joué par Robert Flynn (MACHINE HEAD, Chant,guitare), Andols Herrick (ex-CHIMAIRA, Batterie), Howard Jones (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, Chant), Jeff Waters (ANNIHILATOR, Guitare), Jordan Whelan (STILL REMAINS, Guitare), et Christian Olde Wolbers(FEAR FACTORY, Basse).

Il est excellent ce morceau

Il aurait presque pu figurer sur le dernier Machine Head.
J'ai hâte d'écouter le reste.

Ah, y'a quand même du beau monde (KD et Cavalera en tête), j'espère juste que Dani sera pas là pour "chanter" mais pour etre figurant
(bon, j'vais écouter ça)

le détail : c'est long je vous previens

The complete details have been announced for the upcoming ROADRUNNER UNITED "The All-Star Sessions" CD, due in stores on October 11, 2005, via Roadrunner Records. Boasting 57 artists from 45 of Roadrunner's past and present bands, the album will contain original tracks that are collaborations between numerous Roadrunner stars.

Four central musicians were originally chosen to produce and write the songs. Joey Jordison (SLIPKNOT), Dino Cazares (ex-FEAR FACTORY/BRUJERIA), Robert Flynn (MACHINE HEAD) and Matthew Heafy (TRIVIUM). These four musicians play on the songs they have written and have also assembled a unique team of artists to appear on each track. In order to cover as wide a spectrum as possible, no musician has played for more than one writer/producer and each song features a different vocalist.
