Following the global success of ‘The Rumbling’, as the season four opening theme for “Attack On Titan”, Japanese rock band SiM unveil ‘FREEZE ME UP‘, the opening theme for the upcoming TV anime “BLACK TORCH”.
The song is featured in the anime’s newly released main trailer, offering fans a first listen to the track alongside a preview of the series’ supernatural action. ‘FREEZE ME UP‘ will also appear on SiM’s forthcoming seventh full-length album, “HOOMAN AFTER ALL”, dropping on 2nd September.
Speaking on the new track and “BLACK TORCH”, vocalist MAH comments:
“Manga is a universe. There are as many galaxies as there are readers. This song is my attempt to express, through sound and words, the BLACK TORCH galaxy that expanded inside my own mind. Congratulations on the anime adaptation!”
The announcement arrives shortly after the band revealed their HOOMAN AFTER ALL World Tour, bringing their latest music to audiences all across the globe. The tour arrives in the UK in January 2027.
ABOUT BLACK TORCH:
Jiro Azuma is not your average high schooler. Hailing from a long line of ninja, Jiro has been brought up by his grandfather in the ancient warrior art of the shinobi. Jiro also happens to be a particularly skilled communicator able to converse with the animal world. But life takes an abrupt turn thanks to a mysterious encounter in the forest with an injured black cat named Rago.
Only, Rago’s feline appearance is deceiving… It turns out the “ordinary” cat is the stuff of mononoke legend–the Black Star of Doom!
Swarming in the shadows are more mononoke, eager to exploit Rago’s uniquely immense powers. To fight back against the tide of dark spirits, the undercover Bureau of Espionage is poised to seek and destroy.
Of course, everyone has their motives when it comes to Rago’s powers. But Jiro and Rago are ready.
A shinobi clash between boy and mononoke is about to ignite!
