HOKKA have released new single \u201cVampire\u201d on September 9, bringing together Lost Society\u2019s Samy Elbanna and The 69 Eyes drummer Jussi 69 for a collaboration spanning two generations of Finnish rock and metal. The song arrives alongside an official music video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elbanna contributes vocals as well as guitar riffs and solos, while Jussi 69 handles drums. Rather than treating the two musicians as peripheral guests, \u201cVampire\u201d builds much of its identity around their contributions, combining a prominent central riff, a large chorus and a modern rock production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Joel Hokka, the song also carries a personal dimension. He described working with the musicians involved as a privilege following what he has experienced in recent years and called \u201cVampire\u201d a \u201c100% pure rock\u2019n\u2019roll joyride,\u201d adding that he hopes it becomes part of the soundtrack to Halloween 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
