OLD (band)

OLD (originally an acronym for Old Lady Drivers) was an American heavy metal band from Bergenfield, New Jersey, formed in 1986 and signed to Earache Records.

It featured Alan Dubin on vocals, and James Plotkin on guitars and programming; they later formed the experimental doom metal band Khanate.

OLD's first album, entitled "Old Lady Drivers", continued in the humorous style of grindcore which characterized Regurgitation's material.

After releasing a split EP with Assück in 1990, Plotkin recruited former Nirvana guitarist Jason Everman for their second album, Lo Flux Tube (1991).

This album featured more avant-garde and industrial metal influences in addition to grindcore, giving them a sound which was compared by some reviewers to a more uptempo Godflesh.
