Nameless MonsterEGOIST

EGOIST “Nameless Monster” Music Video -Short Ver.-

The opening theme of the smash-hit anime PSYCHO-PASS.

The composer is ryo from supercell.

Speaking of ryo, I used to associate him with lots of bright, pop songs, so this kind of dark drum’n’bass felt really fresh at the time.

And not just fresh—it’s a real adrenaline booster thanks to its catchy melodic sense and skillful song structure.
