Warner Music buys Roadrunner Records

According to Blabbermouth, who should know really, Roadrunner Records was fully required by Warner Music.

I don’t really want to get into detail of that story, because you can read it on Blabbermouth anyhow. I just want to know what that means for the quality of music, or lack thereof, Roadrunner puts out.

For years, Roadrunner put out great albums until it turned into the forerunner of Metalcore. Now that Warner Music bought Roadrunner, I can see them going down an even more mainstream route, which would be a shame because there are still one or two good bands on that label.

We will see, I guess. I can’t say I’m looking forward to the future of Roadrunner.
