Bronx Artist Sinned Closes Out “Ritual III” Anime-Crime Horror Series With Final Chapter “814”
THE BRONX, NEW YORK, US – August 24th, 2026 – The Shadow’s revenge saga comes full circle – and sets up a darker sequel – in the eighth and final episode of the psychological horror music video series.
Bronx recording artist Sinned, performing under his alter ego The Shadow (also known as The Scapegoat), has released “814,” the eighth and final episode of his anime-crime/psychological horror music video series Ritual III. The track, produced by Flagman, premiered Friday, August 14th.
About “814”
“814” centers on Dennis, also known as Shadow, as he carries out an elaborate revenge plot against Milano – asociopathic young woman who, in Yin & Yang Episode 2, tried to manipulate Dennis into murdering her estranged ex. After luring Milano into a deadly trap, Shadow plants evidence framing her ex for the murder, leading to the ex’s arrest and eventual death at Rikers Island.
When a supernatural force resurrects Milano, Shadow realizes she has been returned to him as an undead assassin. Driven by years of buried resentment, he turns Milano loose on his former best friends Mandy and G, who had become involved with each other despite knowing Shadow was in love with Mandy.
The episode closes on a flashback to Shadow and Mandy’s past, introducing Nina, a mysterious succubus. Rather than resolving the story, Nina’s arrival signals a far darker supernatural threat – setting up an all-new storyline and the sequel to the Ritual III series.
The Story Behind “814”
The “814”/August 14th concept is rooted in real events: the real-life “Milano” reported seeing the numbers 8-1-4 everywhere she went, and Sinned would go on to unknowingly become involved with women closely connected to that same date following his and Milano’s falling out. The number’s significance dates back to 2017, when Sinned released his first-ever EP, titled 814.
Ritual III (2025–2026) serves as a director’s cut of that original project, expanding it into a full cinematic universe.
