That's amazing. One question, who wrote these songs? Did Howard Jones write these lyrics since he's doing vocals? Is that how it works?

EDIT2xputt: yeah. it's a different line up for each song. i have no idea about a tracklist though.
I think the producers (who are also in famous RRR bands) come up with everything; the music, the lyrics etc. I can't remember the 6 that were announced (theres obviously gonna be more) but I know that Danni Filth (Cradle Of Filth) and Corey Taylor (Slipknot) feature in one or two of them. I know that Matt Heafy features alot throughout the album wether he's doing vocals or just guitaring or both but I think The Dagger is the only song to feature Howard Jones.

Roadrunner has a way of putting out really good cds.
and this is for whoever asked if Howard wrote the lyrics for The Dagger: The Dagger Music written by Robert Flynn Lyrics written by Howard Jones and Robert Flynn
I hope other record companies steal this idea and start to put out a mixed CD with artists friom their label. It won't work with all labels, but some could get away with it.
