💥 THE VIBE

- Think “Master of Puppets” with a violin section so intense you’ll feel possessed by the ghost of Cliff Burton.

- “Welcome to the Jungle” with timpani thunder like it’s being summoned by Thor himself.

- An emo symphony for the MCR lovers – “Helena” with weeping cellos, anyone?

- “Thunderstruck” with… well, literal thunder.

🧥 WHAT TO WEAR?
