Yungblud Releases Brand New Single "Abyss" + Launches BLUDFEST Festival
On March 30th, 2024 - The highly anticipated anime series Kaiju No. 8, based on Naoya Matsumoto's manga series, Kaiju No. 8, will have an exhilarating opening theme by YUNGBLUD called Abyss. A song written specifically for Kaiju No. 8 by YUNGBLUD, 'Abyss' was recorded during the band's tour in Japan last year. Dan Reynolds, the frontman of Imagine Dragons, co-wrote the song.
"I think there are times when we feel that the world is cruel and not necessarily made for us. I think that's expressed very beautifully in the story, and it's really in line with what I'm trying to achieve myself. To find my place in the world, to find my friends. Don't suppress your hidden talents and power, even if you can't be proud of them yourself. Because everyone is beautiful."
- Yungblud
