LUNA KILLS Releases New Single "LOWER" Through SharpTone Records
On June 10 2026, Finnish alternative‑metal quartet LUNA KILLS unveiled a fresh single, “LOWER,” under its existing partnership with SharpTone Records. The track debuted alongside a striking music video, both made available immediately on the band’s official YouTube channel and on all major streaming platforms through the link https://bfan.link/lower.
The new single arrives a year after the band’s 2025 album DEATHMATCH, which cemented LUNA KILLS as a formidable force in the European metal landscape. Since that release, the group—comprising vocalist Lotta Ruutiainen and three instrumentalists—has been on a relentless touring schedule, headlining venues across the continent and securing spots at prominent festivals. In addition, they have announced support slots for Future Palace and Vianova, a move that broadens their exposure beyond their core fan base.
Musically, “LOWER” marries the band’s trademark heavy riffs with unexpected melodic interludes, preserving the aggressive intensity that fans anticipate while probing new sonic territories. The band explained that the lyrics grapple with feelings of alienation and the burden of external expectations, framing the song as a dialogue between the gentle acceptance of self and the crushing dread of doubt. This thematic duality is reflected in both the composition and the vocal delivery.
The accompanying video, produced by Guilty Visuals and edited by Lucy Alienne, showcases a series of stark, atmospheric images that echo the song’s introspective mood. The visual narrative has been highlighted through the band’s social media channels and is readily accessible on YouTube, reinforcing the single’s impact across visual and audio platforms.
SharpTone Records, founded in 2013 by Markus Staiger and Shawn Keith, has represented LUNA KILLS since their debut. The label’s roster spans a mix of metal and hard‑rock acts, and it has facilitated worldwide distribution of the band’s releases. By consistently issuing singles and accompanying videos, SharpTone and LUNA KILLS maintain momentum between full‑length albums, a strategy that keeps the group’s presence alive in a crowded market.
Following the launch of “LOWER,” the band has added new dates to its 2026 tour itinerary, featuring headline shows and major festival appearances across Europe. This schedule, coupled with the fresh single and its visual counterpart, positions LUNA KILLS to sustain and grow their visibility within the alternative‑metal scene.
Today, “LOWER” is available for streaming and purchase on all major platforms, and the band’s official channels are actively promoting the track in the lead‑up to the upcoming tour dates. The single represents a clear next step in LUNA KILLS’ evolution as a leading Finnish metal act, underscoring their commitment to artistic growth and audience engagement.
