GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[sixtyniner]

Nice find. That would be compatible with my vague memory that Pioneer may have been on Sheol quite a while ago, maybe from the beginning.

Are you talking about this specific bandcamp banner img? https://f4.bcbits.com/img/0021464126_100.png

and what tool did you use to look at this metadata?

Actually, I used this URL: https://f4.bcbits.com/img/0021464126_0.png
It seems on Bandcamp using "_0" rather than "_100" keeps some of the original metadata
And I used exiftool

I'm not sure if my previous post was deleted or did I just didn't send it, but did you guys had smartphones in 2001? There seems to be other people in the audience recording with smartphones.

It does look as if there are 2 or 3 rectangular shaped screens to the bottom right of the video, but these are just the CRT screens at the front, at an angle.

I don't know man, this look like a phone to me: https://imgur.com/a/rTzgbvz

nah, it's a CRT TV.
(also, smartphones in 2001? the Nokia 3310 was released in 2002 lol)

That's definetely just one of the CRTs, being cut off by an audience member in such a way where it looks rectangular.

The little silver telly on Marcus' side albeit I am not sure if this is the same live performance, just an example of their setup.

In the video, it is at a bit of an angle to the camera, making the screen seem smaller.
I'll admit for a second or two I just accepted it as being someone recording the gig on a camcorder with a visual display before remembering that as well as rear projection, they would tend to have televisions with visuals for the audience as well.

Random theory about the recent goings-on:

What if they're doing the opposite of what we have been figuring out?

We were all hooked on numerology with the pioneer stuff but ultimately decided that that wasn't what was happening, and then lo and behold, they post to the HI facebook page on the HI YouTube/Pioneer 11 anniversary...

We find the HI Facebook so we wait for more posts there, and then they delete those and black out the account...

We notice that it's been one burst of activity per day, and then from the next day till now, no activity...

This, tied with the possible confirmation with the "Heard From The Telegraph Lines" post is suspicious.

Could all be nothing (it's probably nothing) but what if it's intentional?

I don't know man, this look like a phone to me: https://imgur.com/a/rTzgbvz

It's a TV partially blocked by an audience member. It was a regular part of their setup. Also in 2001 there weren't really phones you could record with.

That HI bandcamp banner being the exact same date as the "Uuh" Sheol Boundary video is as close to a slam dunk as you can get. I am totally sold that Sheol Boundary is one or both of the brothers. Hot damn!!

It's also interesting that apparently that Pioneer Plaque banner has been around for years and none of us even knew about it... I was semi-losing faith in the possibility of a release soon because of the mushroom cloud banner being on the BoC YT page for years before Tomorrow's Harvest came out, but if the Pioneer Plaque banner has already been here for years that just makes me even more sure that we'll get a release soon! #BoC2021

[TheStatPow]

Wow, nice find sixty.

[Jango9]

The date in the plaque's EXIF data points to it becoming a thing about 4 months after Tomorrow's Harvest came out, if they've been secretly foreshadowing the next project since almost immediately after the last one then that'd be absolutely wild lmao

I think the next album is going to be a continuation or heavily related to Tomorrow's Harvest. It would make a lot of sense for them to be hinting at both if they're closely connected.

Am I the only one who has felt that this group, collectively, were searching for "more" after the TH ARG? This sense of these hidden clues everywhere, like we were all expecting to unlock the next level?

How wild is it that these accouts and pics have (apparently) been around so long and it's only now they're being discovered. I don't even care if there is a new album coming or not (directly related to these latest bread crumbs) - this has just been...well....weirdly fun!

and to also think how many more years ahead they could be..

Let's not forget that this tweet was liked by BoC...

A pretty simple interpretation of Sixtyniner's find is that the Pioneer Plaque image was actually just thrown together for the Sheol channel 7 years ago and doesn't necessarily mean much about a next album theme or anything.

But why then use it everywhere else? Some of their other channels don't have a banner at all...

Guys I'm aware there were no smartphones in 2001, I was trying to say maybe the recording wasn't real. But I guess I see what you mean about the TVs.
