Last year's Rockstar Mayhem Festival saw the roving metal tour unleash a jaw-dropping lineup of legends that included the unholy triumvirate of Slayer, Motörhead, and headliners Slipknot presiding over a marauding metal militia of bands, fans, vendors and in some venues, jumping motorcycles. No shit. In addition to the two ...

 Darkthrone's newest release, The Underground Resistance, sees the multi-instrumental duo of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto return with middle fingers firmly extended towards the black metal orthodoxy, or for that matter, to anyone attempting to pigeonhole them as simply a black metal band. Yes, Darkthrone remain one of the most influential ...

VREID Welcome Farewell (Indie Recordings) 9 Norway's VREID are back with another swaggering spray of Black N' Roll ("BNR")–the incorrigible bastard son of black metal that likes to smoke Marlboros and listen to Zeppelin. BNR is nothing new; since the 90s black metal renaissance darkened the frigid streets of Oslo, scores of outfits have ...

Although Emmure released their full-length debut in 2007, the Queens-based deathcore purveyors spent five years attracting little notice beyond the tight confines of their increasingly-suffocating genre. All would change in 2012, when the band orchestrated two sprawling campaigns of Europe and the US, igniting a wildfire of popular and critical ...

As much as I loathe ad campaigns that carry even the faintest whiff of hispter chic, I've always enjoyed Dos Equis beer's "Most Interesting Man in the World" commercials.

She stood at the front door, all nine years and three feet of her, clutching a shiny catalog in one hand and what appeared to be some sort of sign-up sheet in the other. I knew what this was all about and I wasn't happy. There I was, grinding out some ...

On a hoary Christmas morning over thirty years ago, my parents ignited one of the pivotal torches of my life journey: they bought me a boom box. Until then, I had one of those tiny turntable stereos that provided all the volume and muddled sonic clarity that a ten year old ...

  In a recent interview with BackstageAxxess.com, former KISS shred maestro Ace Frehley teased that his new book will include stories that didn't make his last book No Regrets: A Rock 'N' Roll Memoir. We here at JoeDaly.net, mobilizing our crack team of investigative reporters, have marshaled our considerable resources and far-reaching ...

I love a good crime movie. Hell, I even enjoy a shitty crime movie if it has a good villain and some interesting sub-plots. The 90s spoiled us with a slew of outrageously good crime movies like Goodfellas and Heat. One after the other, classics like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, ...
