Amid the uproar that plagued Zac Brown’s now infamous Vegas Sphere concert, the Church of Satan stepped in. A spokesperson for the sect publicly dismissed accusations that the concert featured satanic or ritualistic elements.
The unexpected comment came after fans and critics interpreted specific visuals from the show as “demonic” during the band’s ongoing residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
The Church of Satan Steps Into The Conversation
Criticism erupted online after segment clips from Zac Brown Band’s Las Vegas Sphere shows were shared on social platforms. Some concertgoers had described portions of the production as featuring “demonic” or satanic-like imagery. The accusations cited fiery landscapes, skeleton designs, and horn-like crowns in the visuals.
In light of all of these, experts who appear to have vast knowledge in this area decided to lend their voices. In this case, it was the Church of Satan.
A representative for the church, Rev. Unholiness Jared Mammon, spoke with TMZ about the development. He revealed that he could confirm that the country band’s show was not a satanic ritual because the church still hosts some. By this, Mammon meant the symbols at Vegas Sphere were not a presentation of their routine.
The satanic reverend stated that the outcry stemmed from misinterpretations of artistic imagery rather than genuine occult practice. The Church challenged social media commentators to understand better what real rituals entail, suggesting that much of the online reaction was fueled by exaggeration.
Mammon added that the criticism could be linked to centuries-old hysteria where masses describe “everything that amounts to glorified Halloween decorations as ‘Satanic.” He noted that the music industry constantly faces such accusations once individuals or groups use non-Christian imagery.
The Highlight of Zac Brown’s Concert At Las Vegas Sphere
Jared Mammon doubled down on his opinions, noting that the band did nothing in connection with satanic rituals. However, he added that all publicity was an advantage for the church of satan. The reverend hoped that the uproar would lead people to do more research and learn the truth about satanic rituals.
Las Vegas Sphere lived up to its full potential per usual, when the Zac Bronw Band took to the stage performing some of their iconic songs. The concert came complete with a total sensory display of sacred symbols, a depiction of hell, and paranormal patterns. The festive crowd got a fill of scenes involving skeletal figures, cracked landscapes, and intense flames.
Many described these as hellish and reminiscent of underworld activities. Fans online stormed Zac Brown’s comment section across their social media pages to condemn the imagery. The accusations that flew around included references to “satanic and demonic rituals.” “What’s up with the demonic worship scene?” someone asked on X.
“Too bad. Just watched a clip of the Sphere concert and WOW! Way to go, all evil and demonic,” another concerned fan queried. More music lovers and concertgoers shared their opinions on Instagram, all berating the country music group.
What Zac Brown Envisioned
Before taking over the Las Vegas Sphere for their transformative concert, the band, through the lead performer, Zac Brown, opened up about their goal. The concert commenced following the release of their seventh studio album, “Love & Fear.” Brown shared that the residency represented a transformative era for the band.
Per American Songwriter, Zac Brown and his band members prepared for the Las Vegas Sphere concert two years ahead, seeing it as an opportunity to raise the bar in their careers. Speaking to USA Today, the “Chicken Fried” crooner described the show as the “most ambitious show” they had ever attempted. The band kicked off their residency on December 5, with shows running through December 13. Presently, they have added more dates for January 2026.
