Yasuharu Takanashi (Naruto Shippūden, Fairy Tail) is composing the music.
The official English website for Shogakukan's Monthly Hero's magazine describes the original manga:
Killing Bites are underworld duels between human-animal hybrids.
One beast who knows no fear will fight in this animalistic world full of fear and insanity.This ultimate battle of the beasts will shock you to your core!
