Luna Kills unveils new single 'Waves' • GRIMM Gent

Finland’s electrifying alt-metal powerhouse, LUNA KILLS, continues their ascent with the release of their captivating new single “WAVES.” Taken from their upcoming album “DEATHMATCH,” set for release on April 4th, 2025 via SharpTone Records, the track dives deep into the struggles of repetitive cycles, self-doubt, and the painful realization of misplaced trust. The song’s stunning music video, which premiered exclusively on Finnish television MTV3’s Levyraati last Friday, delivers a visually striking interpretation of the song’s emotionally charged themes.

“We all have patterns we struggle to break, and “WAVES” is about drowning in the same mistakes, searching for a way out,” shares vocalist Lotta Ruutiainen. “The song is about believing in someone or something that constantly lets you down; yet being unable to walk away because it feels like giving up on something you’ve worked so hard for.”

With “WAVES”, LUNA KILLS masterfully blends soaring vocal melodies, crushing guitar riffs, and atmospheric production, solidifying their status as one of the most exciting new acts in the alt-metal scene. The track serves as the fourth single from DEATHMATCH, following the success of “LEECH,” “sugar rush,” and “slay ur enemies.” It further sets the stage for what promises to be a defining album for the band.

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.
