Finnish alt-metal act Luna Kills has shared “LEECH,” the third track taken from its upcoming debut album, “DEATHMATCH,” set for release on April 4, 2025, via SharpTone Records (pre-order here). Watch the music video below, and stream the song here.
“‘LEECH’ is a raw depiction of battling depression and thoughts of self harm,’ vocalist Lotta Ruutiainen said. “Its lyrics portray the denial and avoidance of facing the depths of the illness, even as it spirals out of control. Ultimately, it conveys the painful understanding of staying in that place, where fear and self-hatred have entwined so tightly with one’s identity that they seem impossible to separate.”
Ruutiainen shared insight into the creative process, saying, “The song was one of the last few we wrote for the album, and the music came together in a more relaxed and joyful manner than the lyrics might suggest. It’s one of those songs that came together quickly because everyone instantly connected with the melodies and rhythms and had a shared vision for it.”
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.
