Finnish alt-metal band Luna Kills will release its debut album, “DEATHMATCH,” on April 4, 2025, via SharpTone Records. Pre-order it here.
The band also has released its second single, “sugar rush,” following the success of the previously released “slay ur enemies.”
“‘Sugar rush’ captures the drive to pursue happiness in the face of persistent self-doubt,” the band said. “Centered around the struggle to find happiness despite a constant sense of never measuring up, the song delves into the pressures of a world that demands overachievement and monetization of everything, ultimately draining the joy from passions that once gave life meaning.”
Reflecting on the song’s creation, the band said: “At the time, before we started writing ‘sugar rush,’ we had been working on other songs for a long period of time and we felt really exhausted and after multiple failed attempts of trying to force ourselves to focus, we felt that we needed to reset our brain and mindset. ‘sugar rush’ became a powerful outlet for all that we were going through, a way to channel exhaustion and frustration with the pressures of perfectionism and constant productivity. The creative process itself almost became a form of catharsis, a reset, allowing us to confront those feelings directly and then transform them into something meaningful.”
Luna Kills also has revealed a lineup of tour dates and festival appearances, starting with select shows in Finland and culminating in an album release show on April 5, 2025, at On the Rocks in Helsinki. The band will hit the stage both as headliners and in support of acts such as Blind Channel and Warmen, bringing its live energy to fans across Europe.
