Chainsaw Blood (Chainsaw Man ED1)

Vaundy's "Chainsaw Blood," the first ending theme to the Chainsaw Man anime, is a jolt of feral, funk-laced rock that mirrors the series' grimy, blood-soaked anarchy. The Japanese polymath — singer, producer, designer — builds the track on a snarling, distorted guitar riff and a propulsive, almost danceable rhythm section, his vocal shifting between a menacing low growl and frenzied, half-shouted hooks. There's a raw, garage-rock looseness to the production, intentionally rough-edged, splattering energy everywhere like the show's signature gore. The English-and-Japanese lyrics gesture at hunger, instinct, and the thrill of violence — fitting for protagonist Denji's chainsaw-fueled, desire-driven existence — but the words matter less than the visceral attack. Emotionally it lives in adrenaline and chaos, a controlled mania that refuses any softness. Vaundy, known for genre-hopping versatility, here weaponizes his range into something deliberately unhinged, channeling 70s funk-rock swagger through a modern alt sensibility. Culturally it arrived as part of Chainsaw Man's much-hyped 2022 debut, each episode famously closing with a different artist's ED, and Vaundy's set the bar with its sheer kinetic confidence. It's a track for blasting at full volume, for pre-game hype, for anyone who wants three minutes of glorious, grinning aggression. Played loud, it makes you want to break something — joyfully.
