Argentine-born, now Madrid-based rockers Lujuria released their album Skullnight on May 29, 2026 via Candy Flip! Discos. Produced by founder Matt Houdini, it collects ten songs written between 2020 and 2025 across several countries, with various collaborators, tying together alternative rock, hard rock, grunge, stoner rock and modern heavy production with a strong 2000s rock-culture feel.
Themes run through freedom and its consequences, addiction and self-destruction. "Liberty Boys" opens the record with high-powered rhythm and big choruses; "Riding the Tiger" is straight-ahead hard rock/post-grunge; "Daga" mixes dark synths with an industrial edge; and "Glory or Death" features Chilean rapper Teorema. Drums on "Sweet Disorder" and "Glory or Death" were recorded by Andy Villanova (Argentina's DUKI). Closer "Do It for the Pibits" was the first song recorded and marks the start of the Skullnight era.
Houdini on the album's idea of freedom: "It comes with consequences."
Lujuria formed in Buenos Aires in 2006, won MTV Latin America's La Zona, sold out the Whisky a Go Go, released Sextortion (2018) with Jesse Hughes and Nick Oliveri, and in 2025 played Noches del Botánico in Madrid alongside Queens of the Stone Age.
