Behind The Tracks: Luther - Next Time Send A Killer (Single) (2025)

THE DEBUT SINGLE: "Next Time Send a Killer"

Luther debuts with the single “Next Time Send a Killer” Prod. Riff Grimez (aka Brian Spencer). The track leans toward a blend of metalcore, djent, and trap metal. Lyrically, the song traces the journey of someone unjustifiably attacked, isolated, and stripped of all resources and recognition - yet through pride and resilience, they crawl their way back into the light.

“Next Time Send a Killer” has drawn comparisons to the sound of artists like POPPY, THROWN, and KIM DRACULA, resonating with fans of genre-bending, alternative metal. Mixing and mastering were engineered by Enrico Tiberi, a fellow band member.

MUSICAL INFLUENCES AND SOUND

Despite Luther’s debut single “Next Time Send a Killer” touching on elements of metalcore, djent, and trap metal, the band is defined by a genre-blurring approach rooted somewhere around progressive metal, hardcore, emo, and nu metal. Their upcoming debut album draws inspiration from legendary acts such as Greyhaven, System of a Down, and Loathe.

BAND FORMATION AND BACKGROUND

Formed in 2024 in Berlin, Luther is powered by lead vocalist and strategist Leo Luther, Enrico Tiberi’s visionary production and bass lines, Stefanos Kaisaris’ vibrant electric guitar, and Javier Scorcia’s progressive drumming. The band also frequently features like-minded collaborators from the alternative metal scene.

LYRICAL THEMES AND CONCEPTS

The themes explored throughout "Next Time Send a Killer" delve deeply into personal defiance, struggle, and survival in the face of overwhelming odds. Through their music, Luther communicates emotions of isolation, betrayal, rage, and escapism. Each track is a contorted journey toward reclaiming power from those who seek to diminish the individual. Luther also often criticizes societal dynamics as well as the music industry environment through a slightly perverted yet freeing humor. Luther would probably like the person you are when you are alone.
