LUNA KILLS have announced their debut album!

Titled DEATHMATCH, the upcoming album from the Finnish alternative metalcore band is their debut full-length album, and is scheduled to be released in April next year, via SharpTone Records.

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; sugar rush. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from slay ur enemies, which was released back in October.

Speaking about the new single, the band shares, “sugar rush captures the drive to pursue happiness in the face of persistent self-doubt. 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.

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.”
