Second album of this great Italian 80s heavy metal band, originally released in 1988. Available now for the first time on CD, coming in a fantastic Digipack edition!! Hocculta's 2nd full length is quite strong Euro-metal with typical Italian gruffness and flare to it. Some quality speedy numbers like 'Beware the Dark' work well alongside slow dominators 'Haze Inside' and 'Supreme Sacrifice'. A couple of slightly weaker numbers like 'Lonely Knights' aren't really even bad at all, and feature a decent enough display of guitar work, as well as pretty cool lyrics. So all-round, this thing is fairly solid - the bands style varies too, which is quite cool. This is not an amateuresque offering and shouldn't disappoint fans of the debut.
