Luna Kills – Deathmatch – Album Review

3rd April 2025 0 By Jon Deaux

Luna Kills‘ Deathmatch”is the musical equivalent of being repeatedly slapped in the face with a frozen fish while riding a roller coaster through a thunderstorm.

I fancy myself something of a metal connoisseur. While the Plebeians waste their time with whatever drivel people listen to these days. I’ve been cultivating a palate for the finer, more aggressive arts. And this album is deliciously brutal.

The vocalist has this ability to switch between guttural screams and soaring melodies faster than I can injure myself on a new household appliance. The musicianship is more complex than the Navier-Stokes equations and the Standard Model Lagrangian.

The track SADIST particularly stands out as it combines the philosophical depth of Dostoevsky with the subtle nuance of being hit by a freight train. It’s as if Nietzsche formed a metal band while having an existential crisis.

The production is a bit muddier than my literary references; it’s raw, authentic, and, dare I say, ART. Unlike my grandsons’ paintings, which his mum insists I display on the refrigerator despite my 1,500-word critique explaining their derivative nature.

Over all this is a solid effort
