Pre-orders available here.
Following the success of their crushing debut single "slay ur enemies," LUNA KILLS are keeping the momentum alive with the release of their second single, "sugar rush." The electrifying track balances ferocious riffs with haunting melodies, capturing the exhilarating highs and devastating lows of chasing fleeting thrills.
The band explains, "'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."
Reflecting on the song's creation, the band adds, "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."
LUNA KILLS have also revealed an exciting lineup of tour dates and festival appearances, starting with select shows in Finland and culminating in an album release show on April 5, 2025, at On The Rocks in Helsinki. They'll hit the stage both as headliners and in support of notable acts such as Blind Channel and Warmen, bringing their ferocious live energy to fans across Europe.
Novacaine Rating: 10/10 "HOW HAVE I NOT DISCOVERED LUNA KILLS SOONER?! Sugar Rush is an absolute powerhouse of a release, showcasing the jaw-dropping vocal talent of Lotta Ruutianen and a masterful blend of hard-hitting yet irresistibly upbeat instrumentals from the band. I can't recommend Sugar Rush highly enough—it's a must-listen!"
