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.
