The story of the warrior and the sensai continues as HOKKA presents their second single “Death By Cupid’s Arrow.” Following the powerful debut of “In The Darkness,” the new track expands HOKKA’s cinematic narrative with intensity, emotion, and epic scale. “Death By Cupid’s Arrow” arrives alongside another epic music video bringing the next chapter of the story vividly to life through striking visuals and dramatic storytelling. Both singles have already been performed on Finnish national television during the country’s major New Year’s Eve broadcast, introducing HOKKA to a nationwide audience and marking a significant milestone for the band. Joel Hokka comments on the song: “Cupid’s arrow to the chest or a knife in the back — it’s all the same. Death by Cupid’s Arrow is a song about the not-so-nice side of love. Time after time, a poor broken heart cries out its pain as it drowns.” HOKKA has just announced their first live shows for 2026, giving fans the opportunity to experience the power and storytelling of the warrior and sensai saga on stage for the first time, starting with their first club show on May 7 at Tavastia in Helsinki, followed by confirmed Finnish festival appearances at Kesämössö in Lahti, Tuska in Helsinki, Ruisrock in Turku, Ilosaarirock in Joensuu, Kuopiorock in Kuopio, and QStock in Oulu.
