Today's Metal Track is The Dagger which was a track that came out of the Roadrunner United project organized by Roadrunner Records to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Four "team captains" were chosen to lead 57 artists from 45 past and present Roadrunner bands, and produce and oversee the album's 18 tracks. Robb Flynn, frontman and singer for Machinehead, was the captain for this track. 

Robb, along with Howard Jones (Killswitch Engage), Jordan Whelan (Still Remains), Jeff Waters (Annihilator), Christian Olde Wolbers (Powerflow), and Andols Herrick (Chimaira) recorded this track as the opening track on the album.

Today's Metal Track is brand new music from Raleigh's own Between The Buried And Me. The Future Is Behind Us is off of their album Colors II which came out last Friday.

I've only just begun digesting this album but I love everything I've heard so far.
