»At Last«, the new full-length from Swedish hard rock outfit Old Man’s Will is out now and streaming in its entirety via Small Stone Recordings.
»At Last« marks a natural progression for Old Man’s Will, presenting a more mature and nuanced sound while staying firmly rooted in the band’s trademark guitar-driven hard rock. While »At Last« still draws heavily from the gritty, riff-driven feel of the past, there is a more laid-back and groovy feel running throughout. The songs are given more room to breathe, allowing the riffs, melodies, and rhythm section to work together in a more organic way. Rather than relying solely on sheer heaviness, the album finds its weight in groove and atmosphere.
The album moves comfortably between heavier, riff-focused moments, bluesier grooves, and more melodic passages. This creates a broader sonic palette and a greater sense of variation than on the previous albums, while still maintaining a clear connection to the band’s roots. The result is an album that feels both familiar and forward-looking: recognizably Old Man’s Will, but with a greater sense of maturity and depth.

Real rock ‘n’ roll requires a little bit of mystique, a little bit of swagger, and a little bit of trouble for good measure. Old Man’s Will possesses all three of those ingredients in spades.
Hailing from Umeå, Old Man’s Will is known for their blues-infused sound and energetic live performances. The band channels the spirit of 1970s hard rock and blues rock acts like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Humble Pie, with a retro twist.
Leaving home for college back in 2011 first seemed a good reason to quit music and focus on school but instead it became the opposite for close friends Klas Holmgren (guitars), Gustav Kejving (drums), and Tommy Nilsson (bass), laying the foundation for Old Man’s Will. With the addition of the unmistakable vocals of Benny Åbergs, the band was formed and went straight from the studio to touring Europe through something possibly best described as a Spinal Tap-like extravaganza. Fortunately, the situation straightened a bit down the line, and with mounting enthusiasm after having signed record deals in both Europe and later the US, things suddenly felt like they were “going to eleven” for some time. There was a regrettable turn of events however, beginning with the delayed release of their second album which resulted in cancelled tours and lost momentum. Meanwhile, life got in the way, followed by the pandemic, and suddenly reality hit the band in the face in that typical way only musicians may experience.
After struggling with finding a new path forward, new members Simon Lundin (drums) and Michael Åberg (bass) arrived with the ambition to hit the studio to record that third album. The new sound of Old Man’s Will – more back to basics – had slowly been evolving and the spark was finally lit again following a set of memorable live performances, including opening for Graveyard. While still leaning on a heavily guitar-riff-driven basis, the love for creating strong melodies and songs echoes even more evidently in what has become Old Man’s Will signature sound, now embodied in the long awaited third album, »At Last«.
Enthusiasts of guitar-driven classic rock like Rival Sons, The Black Crowes, La Chinga, Winds Of Neptune, The Cold Stares, and the like, pay heed.
