For over ten off and on years, Old Grandad have been refining and honing their craft, and the result is Hocus Corpus. It�s a compilation of the band member�s varying backgrounds, so while it�s easily placed in the hard rock/metal camp, it doesn�t stay there docilely. One song goes from a sing-songy AC/DC groove to a grinding stomp, the clean vocals replaced with a death metal growl. The title track brings to mind both classic Unsane and Sepultura. And Old Grandad aren�t above laying down a good ol� thrash rager once in awhile either. I can see Old Grandad appealing to fans of Thin Lizzy as well as Deicide.
