HOCCULTA “Warning Games” CD A & R Prod
A remastered re-release of their ’84 lp. To my knowledge, it was the only
album that they recorded. After the mystical atmosphere of the one minute
intro, you enter their world. HOCCULTA shows two sides. The first is fast
heavy metal (without being speed metal) that is catchy (“We’ ll play Again”,
“Owner Of Earth”) or killer (“Warning Games”, the wonderful “Witches’ Chant”).
The second is mid-tempo tracks with a dark feeling (“Dream Of Death”) or
going anthemic (“We Give The Power”). A thing that hits the mind is the voice
of Massino Lodini which is close to Klaus Meine. There are a story and an
interview in the booklet, but damned, it’s all written in italian ! A forgotten
jewel has resurfaced.
