Luna Kills – continue their ascent with the release of their captivating new single

Finland’s electrifying alt-metal powerhouse, LUNA KILLS, continues their ascent with the release of their captivating new single “WAVES.” Taken from their upcoming album “DEATHMATCH,” set for release on April 4th, 2025 via SharpTone Records, the track dives deep into the struggles of repetitive cycles, self-doubt, and the painful realization of misplaced trust. The song’s stunning music video, which premiered exclusively on Finnish television MTV3’s Levyraati last Friday, delivers a visually striking interpretation of the song’s emotionally charged themes.

“We all have patterns we struggle to break, and “WAVES” is about drowning in the same mistakes, searching for a way out,” shares vocalist Lotta Ruutiainen. “The song is about believing in someone or something that constantly lets you down; yet being unable to walk away because it feels like giving up on something you’ve worked so hard for.”

With “WAVES”, LUNA KILLS masterfully blends soaring vocal melodies, crushing guitar riffs, and atmospheric production, solidifying their status as one of the most exciting new acts in the alt-metal scene. The track serves as the fourth single from DEATHMATCH, following the success of “LEECH,” “sugar rush,” and “slay ur enemies.” It further sets the stage for what promises to be a defining album for the band.

1. love u
2. LEECH
3. SADIST
4. sugar rush
