Hok-key was created in 1994, as Comedy metal band. During 1994 – 1997 the band played series of concerts in Minsk and other cities of Belarus. In 1998 the band took a time out.
A year later, Hok-key, with new strength and new members, started work on a new program. Over the 2000 – 2002 period Hok-key played about twenty concerts in Belarus and abroad, took part in numerous festivals, radio and TV talk shows. In 2003 – 2004 the band was in the amorphous state and took a second timeout.
In August 2005 Hok-key was reanimated as melodic metal band with violin. The first album was released in 2007. In 2011 they recorded an experimental EP “Legacy” with lyrics in belarussian language. The band is constantly experimenting with the sounds – particularly in recent works by adding elements of folk-rock and electronic music, resulting in the release of “Znak Biady” (“Time of Misfortune”) with Belarusian lyrics and folk rock influences.
