LUNA KILLS has officially dropped today their highly anticipated album, DEATHMATCH, via Sharptone Records, bringing their signature raw energy and fierce attitude to fans worldwide. Accompanying the release, the band has unveiled a brand-new music video for ‘love u’—a track that perfectly encapsulates their bold sound and unapologetic vision.

“This is one of those songs that came together really fast, in just a couple of days, somewhere between being inspired by anime soundtracks and feeling furious about unsolicited opinions on what kind of band LUNA KILLS should be. And just like that, love u was born" shares vocalist Lotta Ruutiainen. "It’s the first song that we wrote for DEATHMATCH and it became sort of like the blueprint of what the album was going to be like. The name of the song and the intro kind of lulls the listener, but it’s quickly very evident that the song is not about that vibe at all and it really takes you for a ride and punches you in the face.

The song's lyrics are about controlling, obsessive behaviour towards someone and falling into a delusional toxic kind of love that is and has not been reciprocated in any way.”

‘love u’ follows the success of previous singles "WAVES," "LEECH," "sugar rush," and "slay ur enemies" further demonstrating LUNA KILLS’ relentless energy and artistic vision leading up to DEATHMATCH.

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.
