MAN WITH A MISSION have released their brand new single ‘Firestarter’, an explosive rock song which also forms the theme song for the new anime series of The Vermillion Mask.
The searing new single launches with call to arms tribal drums before breaking into an uplifting and determined anthem focused on pushing through adversity, where it rises like a phoenix with frenzied raps, riffs and a soaring chorus.
Regarding ‘Firestarter’ bassist Kamikaze Boy says, “I created ‘Firestarter’ with the idea of making a powerful song that could push these young characters forward on their adventure as they carry the burden of a cruel fate.”
Filled with power, intensity, and a driving sense of momentum, the track captures the energy and force of MAN WITH A MISSION today. The result is a song which propels the characters of The Vermillion Mask forward as they face their harsh destinies head-on.
2026 has proved another strong year for MAN WITH A MISSION’s presence in TV and film, as ‘Firestarter’ follows the release of the recently released single ‘The Animals’, a raging punk track written for the Japanese film Wara nimo Sugaru Kemono tachi (English: BEASTS CLUTCHING AT STRAWS).
The new songs join the recently released ‘ONE’ in offering another taste of an exciting new era for the half-man, half-wolf collective, which is set to further evolve throughout 2026.
