Following the release of their highly anticipated album DEATHMATCH last year, Finnish alternative metal powerhouse LUNA KILLS are already charging forward with a brand-new single ‘LOWER’ via Sharptone Records.
Speaking about the single, the band shares:
“The lyrics of the song are about dealing with the feeling that you don’t belong anywhere. You feel the weight of not fitting into the expectations that society or others have placed upon you, or even the expectations you have for yourself. It makes you question your reality, and at the same time, you slowly begin to feel like you’re fading away piece by piece and turning into someone you don’t recognize. The song carries a theme – both in lyrics and music – about the contrast between the softness of accepting yourself and the world you have built around yourself and the crushing weight of a never leaving dread whispering whether you made the right choices.”
Following the explosive momentum of DEATHMATCH and standout tracks including ‘WAVES‘, ‘LEECH‘, ‘sugar rush‘, ‘slay ur enemies‘ and ‘love u‘, the band continue to evolve their unmistakable blend of crushing heaviness, modern production, and emotionally charged songwriting.
LUNA KILLS are without a doubt the most refreshing modern metal act in the scene, combining alternative and nu-metal vibes with electronics inspired by game soundtracks. Their frontwoman Lotta with her jazz singing background and incredible fry scream vocals brings the audience to their knees – unless they are speeding around in moshpits, as often witnessed in their fiery live shows. Even as newcomers LUNA KILLS have already opened the door to their beloved gaming world as their music is featured in the hit mobile app Beatstar. The band, first formed in 2019, has now taken their first steps on European stages, gained the attention of multiple rock radios in their native Finland and are moving forward towards their first full-length album with SharpTone Records.
