HOKKA Sink Their Teeth Into “Vampire” With Lost Society And Jussi 69

Finnish alternative rock act HOKKA return with “Vampire,” a new collaboration featuring LOST SOCIETY and Jussi 69 of THE 69 EYES. Led by Joel Hokka, the former frontman of BLIND CHANNEL, HOKKA brings together a lineup that connects different generations of Finland’s rock scene. Hokka is joined by Pauli Rantasalmi, founding member and guitarist of THE RASMUS, creating a project built around the meeting of two distinctive creative backgrounds. “Vampire” expands that foundation further, bringing LOST SOCIETY and Jussi 69 into the mix for a collaboration packed with Finnish rock character.

The track embraces a darker and more energetic side of alternative rock, with its title setting the tone for a song steeped in nocturnal atmosphere and attitude. HOKKA balance melody with heavier guitar-driven moments, while the contributions from LOST SOCIETY add another dimension to the track’s aggressive edge. Jussi 69’s presence further strengthens the song’s connection to the darker side of Finnish rock, giving “Vampire” a natural link to THE 69 EYES’ unmistakable world.

At the center of HOKKA is the creative partnership between Hokka and Rantasalmi, bringing together experience from two influential Finnish acts while allowing the new project to develop its own identity. Joel Hokka’s background with BLIND CHANNEL represents a more modern chapter of Finnish heavy rock, while Rantasalmi’s history with THE RASMUS reaches back to the foundations of one of the country’s internationally recognised rock bands. “Vampire” demonstrates how those different perspectives can collide without feeling forced.

With “Vampire,” HOKKA continue shaping a project where different eras and corners of Finnish rock meet. The addition of LOST SOCIETY and Jussi 69 makes the new single an especially notable collaboration, combining youthful aggression with decades of experience. HOKKA have opened another door into their world — and this time, something is waiting for you on the other side.
