Interview by Kris PetersNot often a band's music comes across our desk here at HEAVY that literally makes us sit up and take absolute notice, but when it does, and you then find out it is the first ever single release from the band…Such was the case when we heard Next Time Send A Killer, the debut track from Berlin-based heavy outfit Luther. A crushing cesspool of malevolence, Next Time Send A Killer also contains a plethora of styles and influences that many a more seasoned band have tried without half the impact achieved by Luther in their sonic introduction to the world.A sentence in the band's press release says, "through music Luther communicates emotions of isolation, betrayal, rage and escapism", and for once that was no exaggeration. At times angry, at others beautiful and others again a slit to the throat, Next Time Send A Killer is an amalgamation of everything you thought scared you as a child then dialled up a double notch. Thinking (but hoping we were wrong) this might just be a case of one great song followed by a dose of mediocrity, HEAVY reached out to the band, who sent us two unreleased songs and their music videos, and they were just as good, if not better.Of course, we had to chat with Luther in order to introduce them to our friends, with vocalist Leo Luther kindly offering up some of her time."We formed in 2024," she began when asked to introduce Luther, "and we are somewhat of a… I wouldn't say supergroup, but that's the kind of concept. We are all people who were in different bands but in the same scene, and we met each other, liked each other, so we started this project."We ask Leo to run us through Next Time Send A Killer in greater detail."This comes from me wishing to experiment with some very… angry music," she measured. "And I think that angry music is also like trap metal. I know it's not the most common sub-genre of metal, but there's also some metalcore and a little bit of djent in there, and that's how it was born."We ask why Luther chose that particular song to introduce them and their music to the world."You're not gonna like this answer," she laughed. "Basically, in a band where you want to be successful, you need to have some sort of strategy. I was like, fuck the strategy, we're just gonna do what we want (laughs). So there are two songs that have this type of sound identity for us, and those are the songs we released with Next Time Send A Killer and Oyster, which were released together. Now we are working on a debut album that literally has nothing to do with metalcore. That was not the wisest choice, but I thought fuck it. We liked that song, now we like another one, so we're gonna do it that way."In the full interview, Leo talked more about their debut single and the reaction to it. We discussed the next two songs to be released, Give The People What They Want and The Most Famous Rat In The Sewer, going into detail about the imaginative song titles for their music.Leo mentioned the debut album and what we can expect, took us deeper through their musical styles and influences and ran us through the balancing act of getting things right in the creative process and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
