They might be referring to the track itself as it is on streaming?

It seems to me that they believe embracing nothingness brings them certain freedoms and comforts. Freedom from mind control from predatory religions. Comfort in being able to let go. Beauty in seeing the fragility and uniqueness of what our lives are; knowing there is no permanence. The lyrics in the song Nothing Is Real accuse Jesus of "offering eternal life when you knew it was not right." Anyone presenting the idea of eternal life to a human will absolutely change how they then think and act. Unfortunately, that has led many humans down a dark path. That dark path horror show is represented by the bold religious visuals we've seen with Inferno. Prophecy at 1420 Mhz boldy contrasts those who support the mind control of the idea of eternal life to those who embrace nothingness. The latter half, after "god" speaks and reassures that nothingness is truth, that seems to be where it represents how embracing nothingness leads to the beauty, freedom, peace, and comforts that follows. It's just you and your loved ones. We are our own spiritual element (pic of weird family from video and shirts). Embrace and believe in only ourselves. This album may be their own statement as to spirituality and the human condition. That our spirituality stems from a sense of self and our idea of a God is basically just because we instinctively recognize there are certain numbers/patterns/ideas that resonate with us and everything around us. But when we die, truly, there is nothingness that awaits us. It seems to be presented in a way that's more than a flimsy fictitious statement for the sake of a cool concept album. With Introit being a pre-worship ritual, 1420Mhz being the frequency reserved for listening to messages from "out there", from non-human sources. Seeing the titles of the tracks to come. They look like they are fighting cult-like religious mind control with it's own weapons. This is their presentation of their own spiritual statement. The cult of BoC is nearly here and there are no Blue Oysters involved, lol.
I'm hesitant to speak much deeper than that as the internet isn't a good place to have divisive conversation. Conversation may get heated here these next several months. Please just remember to be kind and respectful of each other.
Despite disagreeing with their statement, I have watched and listened to this again and again. Robert Beatty absolutely nailed the video. BoC absolutely delivers the phenomenal music. Utterly amazing.
I sincerely hope there will be video to accompany the entire album. Doubtful, but as I've said about TAPE 05, the music feels like a message and the video feels like context. But perhaps we have all the context we need. Perhaps Robert has just done such a good job that it's hard to imagine hearing the rest of the album without visuals.

I may be projecting, and it’s satisfying for me to think about it this way, but it feels like they’ve been revealing the new direction of their sound in since 2016 through the Nevermen Remix work and Societas X Tape.
The ‘live’ drum sound in Prophecy At 1420 Mhz evokes the Mr. Mistake Remix, and the groove feels connected to Treat Em Right.
There vocal cries and OM sounds in Mr. Mistake sound similar to some of the vocals in PA1420 Mhz. And there’s the Hindustani flute line at the end of Mr. Mistake - the flute that begins the new track also has a Hindustani-like timbre but they’re detuned. I think we may hear more Indian Classical influence throughout Inferno (I’m also thinking of the M. S. Subbulakshmi track on Societas). Industrial raga.
Also, did anyone notice that the percussion in the outro of PA1420 Mhz sounds like gamelan?

power is, in a sense, the religion of the modern world

Greater Awareness of Itself
The zero-energy universe hypothesis proposes that the total amount of energy in the universe is exactly zero: its amount of positive energy in the form of matter is exactly canceled out by its negative energy in the form of gravity. Some physicists, such as Lawrence Krauss, Stephen Hawking or Alexander Vilenkin, call or called this state "a universe from nothingness", although the zero-energy universe model requires both a matter field with positive energy and a gravitational field with negative energy to exist.
