LP5 - Inferno

[4hmr]

There is a nice symmetry related to:

Thursday 16 April - Tape 05 video released
Wednesday 22 April - Inferno announcement
Tuesday 28 April - Inferno streams announcement
Monday 4 May - ?
Sunday 10 May - ?
Saturday 16 May - ?
Friday 22 May - Inferno streams in 7 cities

These dates are 7 dates separated by 6 days which numerically mirrors the new logo. I have my hopes up for 4/5, 10/5 and 16/5 for more stuff, maybe a track or two?

dang i had hope for this

someone on reddit discovered that the audio of the tape has been posted to Amazon music in hi-res. Judging from the length it has there, this could be Acts of Magic from the album(?)

That would resemble the use of New Seeds in the Cosecha Signal One video, more so than Tape 05.

Ready for the first 5 minutes?

Could be that something happened and we just don't know about it yet. Honestly was not surprised about nothing being posted yesterday as it was Star Wars day (Star Trek has always been better) and the influx of things already posted. The weird "Intro" track from the BoC Amazon Music thing was discovered yesterday, no?

Oh hey! Lars used to pop up in here. Did he score tickets?

[Blink of an eye]

Been almost ten years since I last posted here. Very, very excited to hear this album.

[outhudd]

Could it be that we have 3 tracks from the album already?

Introit, Father and Son, and Acts of Magic?

Tape 05 sounds lo-fi compared to the introductory video. Inferno could have a mixtape quality, where the recordings have different timbres from track to track. Societas was referenced in an album description, and there is a continuous mix…

I've been thinking a lot about this too, making more and more sense to me given how varied the snippets of music we've heard so far have been (and the visuals, come to think of it).

The reference to Societas in the press release makes me wonder if we're getting a wider range of moods, tones and styles on this album than anything they've done before - let's hear some post-punk/industrial BOC!

[rd1994]

I've just been thinking about this earlier. Past albums of theirs did have a few tracks with silence at the end. So yes on the surface the difference of the "normal" album and the "continuous mix" is just 9 seconds but in reality it could be much more

I think it seems he did!

i feel like i'm going insane trying to read that

[irv]

I think the first part of the last bit says PHOTO (something) ING

[dolochov]

It's a screenshot taken from the videoclip of the incoming single

[Den]

I agree, the timing of this feels like it’s associated with a single.

[Remulo]

The first part kind of reads as "The viewing", not so confident on "viewing", but the first word is definetly "the". Is the last word "started"?

[irv]

Middle line looks like 'STARRING'

[Altruizine]

Looked like ”introducing” to me for a sec. But meh, I’d rather wait this one out than try to decipher. I wonder how soon we’ll see more based on their previous activity patterns.
