i would probably take a week off and celebrate furiously. Getting multiple carry outs and some weed.

On some of the official pages like Facebook there was a photo of geometrical object floating above the sea. I can't seem to find it any more. I've seen it a couple of months ago. Anyone knows what I am talking about?

Good lord, the fact that image exists and it's not real is cruel and unusual

Couldn't have said it better myself, hahahaha!

opothecary, if you're still out there, i'd love to know your thoughts on the numerology or any theories!

The Instagram just liked my friend's comment on the new video: "Hopefully this is the start of something good!"

Suddenly, the hype is becoming real...

It was one of page covers I think. At that time there was a discussion in Societas X thread about Wind Tunnel sample and I remember making a post referring to 30,000ft plus seeing that photo of a floating object and I made a comment how cool it would be if their next album would be space-themed. I am also pretty sure the date of the photo was some time around Societas X, not so recent. But now it seems to be gone. Please someone else confirm this wasn't a dream. This is my post from that time.

Ugh I don't know what to believe or think right now! Anyone courageous enough to reach out to PIC on IG and ask him if this account is legit?

I'm curious too. But I have a feeling he would know if it were real. The guy took virtually all of their publicity photos (for the TH era too) and Geogaddi's album cover. He's definitely inner circle with them.

Absolutely, and that's why I'm inclined to believe there's something to this...I had no idea he was following it until it was mentioned above (don't check IG much anymore).

I would second this request. It's time, Opethecary! We need your magical thinking

The account is obviously legit but it should be obvious to anyone who has seen this social media activity over the past 3 years that it doesn't tell us anything we don't already know. Getting hyped over something like this is a bit stupid, you should already know it's in the works, I doubt they'd leave their fanbase hanging like that without a final statement saying they're retiring.

It's the close proximity of the likes and liking things that hint at something happening soon that are the reason for hype. Plus them liking things that hint at even more than a new album (i.e. unreleased music. Which surprised me because these guys are notoriously paranoid about their unreleased music.)

They're my favorite band so of course I'm going to be hyped at any hints at the future. Nothing wrong with that, friend.

They're not hints, it's community interaction, and it's what a lot of artist's social media accounts do without necessarily meaning anything unless it's an explicit statement because the like can mean any number of different things. It is also known that their social media accounts are managed by other people.

MDG: "to clear this up: the myspace page was taken over by warp some time ago, and is now maintained by both warp staff and a couple of friends of the band, on a 'when time permits' basis."

Obviously being excited about a new release is fine, but don't set yourself up for disappointment is all I'm saying. "They've" been doing this exact thing for 3 years. I remember that years ago "they" even liked someone's post on their facebook asking them to perform live, but obviously nothing has happened since then either.

In my mind, they are going to drop a new record sometime soon. And some time after that, their box set. Like they did with the whole album represses in late 2013. That would be a perfect storm for them.

I guess we'll see. It feels a bit different this time because of the amount of activity. They usually do a few likes and disappear. This seems to be getting more and more common along with videos.

And call it a feeling, but for some reason I feel that this "community interaction" with the likes is more meaningful for BOC than other artists. Because this is the only way they choose to communicate.

I'm personally with Arvy on this. But I know not to get too hopeful until there are further signs.

If you ever needed any more proof that it isn't them controlling the social media account
