Milan Records has released the first soundtrack to CHAINSAW MAN by electronic composer kensuke ushio. The album is available now and features music composed by ushio from the first three episodes on the new anime series. Today’s album is the first of an eventual three volumes of 11 songs to be released from the first season of the series, with additional soundtracks for arriving Wednesday, November 23 and Wednesday, December 28. kensuke ushio brings with him to the project a resume of solo electronic music released under the moniker “agraph” as well as scores to A Silent Voice, Space Dandy, Devilman Crybaby, Boogiepop and many other anime titles.
The composer kensuke ushio said:
“When I first read the original CHAINSAW MAN, I thought, ‘what a mess!,’ and I created the music based on that initial concept. I chopped, stretched, and distorted the finished music, carefully butchering it as if I were grinding the music down – because he is a chainsaw man! This album is the result of that work – messed up chainsaw beats that were created based on that initial impulse. I hope you enjoy it.”
