Luna Kills is a Finnish alternative metal quartet that has rapidly evolved from their 2019 debut 'Before the Satellites' into a leading voice in the 'pop-metal' and electronic-nu-metal resurgence. Based in Finland, the band consists of Lotta Ruutiainen, Samuli Paasineva, Lassi Peltonen, and Jimi Kinnunen.
Their sound identity is defined by the intersection of heavy riffage and gaming culture, a connection solidified by their inclusion in the mobile game Beatstar. Ruutiainen’s jazz-trained vocals provide a unique harmonic sophistication that contrasts with the band's aggressive, high-energy instrumentation. Their signing to SharpTone Records for the release of 'DEATHMATCH' (2025) marks their transition into the international metal scene, aligning them with peers like VUKOVI who blend alternative rock hooks with heavy production. Critical consensus highlights their 'refreshing' take on the genre, noting that they avoid the clichés of traditional metal by embracing digital textures and modern pop structures.
