Japanese wolf-masked rockers Man With A Mission will release their eighth album The Circus on 23rd December via Sony Music/Century Media, and have shared the video for ‘Firestarter’.
‘Firestarter’ is also the theme song for the new anime series The Vermillion Mask. Its video is a playful one: the band become a “spice” that causes chaos inside a man’s body.
The Circus is the band’s first original full length album in four and a half years. It gathers songs teased over the past year, including ‘Kizuna no Kiseki’, their collaboration with milet that opened Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc. It also includes ‘The Animals’, from the film Beasts Clutching At Straws, and ‘ONE’, the anthem for football club Cerezo Osaka. Mixing legend Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, My Chemical Romance) worked on several tracks.
The band will tour all 47 prefectures of Japan, and international dates are promised soon.
