Alternative band LUNA KILLS: Nu metal-inspired LEECH single pounding alongside a dark story

LUNA KILLS release the third single from their upcoming album “DEATHMATCH”. The album, which will be released via SharpTone Records on April 4th, has already featured the single “Slay Ur Enemies” and “Sugar Rush”. The new “LEECH” clearly follows in the footsteps of nu metal and tells of a dark inner battle.

“LEECH is a raw description of suicide and the fight against depression. The song reflects the painful situation where you realize that fear and self-loathing are starting to become part of your identity and it is impossible to separate them. Even though the subject of the song is dark, the song itself was created in a really good atmosphere and in a lighthearted way. It was one of the last songs written for the upcoming album, and it hit us all right away,” describes singer Lotta Ruutiainen.

music video for “LEECH” has also been released. The new single can be heard live this Thursday at the prestigious ESNS/Eurosonic showcase festival in the Netherlands, where LUNA KILLS has been invited to perform. Following the DEATHMATCH album release tour in Finland this spring, the band will also be performing at numerous summer festivals, the first of which is Poland’s largest metal festival, Mystic Festival.
