“Via Miseria IV“
Album (Nuclear Blast Records)

With “Via Miseria IV”, HOKKA have created a darkly pulsating work that not only depicts pain, but transforms it into something unique. Between inner demons and the attempt to find stability, a tension between self-destruction and quiet hope unfolds. “Blackbird” opens like an inner monologue between rage and survival, while “In The Darkness” makes the feeling of being lost almost tangible – fear as a familiar voice. “Heart Said No” finally exposes the vulnerability that lies behind the harshness. This album tells of loss, identity and the courage to recognize beauty in one’s own abyss.
