Hocculta is a band that had released two albums back in 1984 and 1988. Almost twenty years after their '88 release a new label from Italy, Dedalo Sound, a few months ago released a new CD single from Hocculta.

"Taste the Return" is the title of this work and has three songs, two of them are from Hocculta and the last one is a cover track from the Scorpions, 'Blackout'. The band decided to make this over because Scorpions were one of their influences in early 80s when Hocculta had started their career.

Definitely after some time listening you will see that the band's main influence is the Scorpions, but besides that Hocculta have moved forward with their music and they added their personal sound too, even if Massimo their singer, has a lot of commons with the singer from the Scorpions.

I don't know if the band prepares their comeback but definitely in this single they had offerred us some good minutes of pure hard rock music.
