Kenshi Yonezu – IRIS OUT

Kenshi Yonezu’s masterpiece “IRIS OUT.” Known as a theme song for the anime Chainsaw Man, this track has been crafted with a rather unusual tone to match the show’s atmosphere.

While it carries an overall rock flavor, you can glimpse gothic elements here and there—likely to align with the series’ world, where devils appear.

It has a somewhat matter-of-fact delivery yet interweaves shouts, making it thoroughly engaging to listen to.
