From their myspace:
Roadrunner Records is pleased to announce the signing of Las Vegas rock band 7th Son to the roster.
7th Son --featuring guitarist/vocalist Christopher Babbitt, guitarist Mikey Cross, bassist Andrew Cushing and drummer Alan Doucette--are a rag tag crew of young turks who formed the band two years ago in their native Sin City. The band recorded three fist-pumping, guitar-driven anthems with producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Incubus, Escape the Fate, Story of the Year) earlier this year. Those songs caught the attention of Roadrunner Senior VP of A&R Monte Conner, who quickly signed the band.
Of their signing to Roadrunner, Babbitt said, "Our battle cry since we started playing dives in dirty Vegas to being nobodies signed to the biggest hard rock label in the world has been 'Be shred or be dead,' so we have a lot to live up to and Roadrunner was the only label we knew who would have the balls and the vision to stand behind that credo." Cross has a more tongue in cheek outlook on their new label home, saying, "We can't wait to meet some of our esteemed new label-mates and sleep with their girlfriends." Lock up your daughters, girlfriends and wives, because 7th Son have arrived!
7th Son are currently recording their Roadrunner debut in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with Baskette manning the boards. They will commence recording in mid-November. The band is managed by Dark Angel Management, LLC (Trivium, Seemless, Dirge). For a taste of 7th Son, check out their MySpace page, which is viewable at: www.myspace.com/7thsonband.

Only good thing about Roadrunner I can think of is that they let Trivium do what they wanna do.
But they dropped Sanctity who were one of their best bands I think.
They didnt let Suffocation record with Scott Burns for Breeding the Spawn.
They didnt fund Chuck when he needed it.
They signed Madina Lake. WTF?!
I mean, I dont mind that All Stars CD they did, was pretty cool idea because they got some real talent to return and help out but still.. this record label is a shambles!
And I dont really dig this 7th Son band tbh No offence DAM if you read this heh
FUCK RR! Fuck Monte and his stupid "Gorguts werent that good anyway" comment. Gorguts are amazing! Fucker. Yeah Roadrunner used to support DM properly then shat on the scene and went for the money. I mean fair play if they want the cash but still... Grrrrrr!

Oh, I hate Roadrunner as well.
Slipknot?
Slipshit?
Slapknuts?

I dont hate Slipknot so I cant really personally use them as an excuse
But tbh, I wish Roadrunner would go back to their roots.
No what am I saying? Much better labels support the good bands! Sobering to think they went from Mercyful Fate to...... Nickleback?! O.o

Roadrunner has become to Mainstream for it's own good. It's becoming as big a joke to me as Victory Records.

When did Monte say Gorguts werent that good?
RR recently signed a local band from my way, called Mutiny, they used to be pretty good, but they hired this brittish singer who sounds like a fucking faggot with a cock up his ass...and RR made them change their name to Mutiny Within because Mutiny was already taken...

Yeh RR are cocks. They did some good stuff in the past, but it appears it wasnt really to their own personal interest.

I read it in Choosing Death. I'll get a scan asap.

RR United had 2 or 3 awesome songs, the rest were crap.
