What Viewers Should Expect From 'Into the Void'

According to Consequence,  Into the Void is being executive-produced by the same team behind Vice TV's popular pro wrestling docuseries, Dark Side of the Ring.

Episodes of that series feature a narrator who talks through the story. Historical video clips and sit-down interviews are used to provide additional insights.

The trailer for Into the Void looks as though the series will follow a similar setup. Additional interview subjects shown include Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, Zakk Wylde and record producer Dennis MacCay.
