Sorry if this has been addressed, but what exactly is this? It's very reminiscent of the metaphase stage of cell division to me (chromosomes line up and are segregated to opposite poles of the cell by spindles). Is that what it's meant to be?

I noticed that there are no zeroes:

699742628315717228936557813386519225

So it could be a base-9 code. So I subtracted one from each digit to make it base-9 compatible:

588631517204606117825446702275408114

I then converted it to base-36, which contains all 26 letters (plus digits 0-9). I used Wolfram Alpha to convert using the following query:

convert 588631517204606117825446702275408114 base 9 to base 36

The result (hiding block form) is:

v6v0cr75impurum6rit8id

I immediately noticed the word "impurum" in there. It's a Latin word that means "impure", which could relate to the theme as implied in the track titles ("Sick Times", for example.)

The word "id" is also in there. And "rit", similar to "Uritual"?


That was nice of them to let us know about the harvest ritual ahead of time.
