Accompanied by an epic and visually stunning music video, the song introduces the signature elements of HOKKA’s sound: deep, dark, and cold Nordic melancholy fused with a modern rock edge. Their music channels the emotional intensity of early-2000s Finnish rock while pushing boldly into new territory with unapologetic energy and ambition.

Watch ‘In the Darkness’ now and experience the dawn of HOKKA: 

With a magnetic debut and a fearless creative vision, HOKKA is poised to become the next breakout act from Finland’s rich rock scene.
The band will make their first live appearance on Finnish YLE’s major New Year’s Eve TV show, broadcast live from Oulu-halli on December 31st.

“Different generations of Finnish rock are united for this newborn band proud to be part of Nuclear Blast Records roster.” commentsJoel Hokka

HOKKA is here to stay and slay.
