Building on the momentum of their acclaimed album DEATHMATCH, Finnish alternative metal trailblazers LUNA KILLS have returned with their searing new single, "LOWER," released via SharpTone Records.
The track delves into the existential weight of alienation and the struggle to align one’s authentic self with societal expectations, perfectly capturing the internal tug-of-war between self-acceptance and the paralyzing fear of wrong choices.
Renowned for their innovative fusion of nu-metal intensity, modern production, and gaming-inspired electronics, LUNA KILLS—fronted by the uniquely versatile Lotta Ruutiainen, whose range shifts seamlessly from jazz-inflected melodies to visceral fry screams—continue to solidify their reputation as one of the most exciting acts in contemporary metal.
Since their 2019 formation, the quartet has rapidly expanded their reach from the digital airwaves of Beatstar to fiery European live stages, proving that their evolution is as unstoppable as their sound.
LUNA KILLS have added new dates to their 2026 tour schedule, featuring major festival appearances and headline shows across Europe, as well as select support slots for Future Palace and Vianova.
