The Cult of Vantablack

Tonight’s episode follows a cult that forms around a metal band, turning fandom into ritual and concerts into ceremonies. The story tracks how admiration hardens into devotion, how music becomes a language for something darker, and how crowd fervor can mask real danger until it’s too late. It’s a focused, unsettling look at obsession, groupthink, and the ways charisma and noise can fuse into something that demands more than applause.
