Hiii, Mex

I appreciate your support in these difficult times. Solidarity.

I've only just started to be able to even listen to anything else.

First listen was on release day. I was left feeling kinda like it was ok...next thing I know, it's ...

I was tempted to fire up my VPN and see if I can get the tracks early off Bleep

I got my FedEx tracking yesterday, woke up today to the tracker telling me I owe duties.

Soooo tack on another $45 to release my package and I don't know if I'm going to ever financially recover from this album release

Order dispatched!

Me as well - my original order email said it was expected to be shipped May 26th and I got the dispatch email at 1:55am my time - woohoo!

BOOOOOO - got an email from FedEx with an expected delivery date of Monday.

I mean, this is a birthday present for me and Monday is ...

Only 3999 comments on this thread before the first people heard the new album - seems like nothing compared to the leadup to Tomorrow's Harvest.

...time to retire Part II and start Part III?

Mine hasn't shipped yet (to Canada), however, checking my original email, it says it should be shipping tomorrow (May 26th). My shipping option was 3-5 business days, I was kind of hoping to have got a notification by now, but I guess it's all estimated timing and what not.

I'm really intrigued by the fact that the credits so specifically say all tracks were written and produced by Mike Sandison and that Marcus Eoin is only credited as a performer. I can also see why they might be reluctant to do interviews this time around as that might lead to a lot of personal ...

They have an estimated shipping date on the order confirmation email. Mine is May 26. Delivery estimate 2-7 working days.

Base on the announcement they made the day after pre orders were taken, the date on this confirmation seems to be what they are going by.

When I placed the order originally ...

With the recent post of listening parties around the world, I found out a local record store to me is actually hosting one and...I am actually getting emotional about this. I never thought in a million years I would even have a chance to go to one of these, and for Boards of all bands???

I am ...

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this now and it just gets better with each play, seriously.

There's something familiar, alien, new, tormented, old, haunted...just so much packed into one beautifully crafted audio visual experience. I'm in awe and I can't wait for more!

When I ...

Holy fuck I absolutely LOVE Prophecy. I am beyond excited for the rest of the album, OMFG!

4th? 5th? listen now....I *really* like Prophecy. I really get a hint of an older track around 1:30 ->2:00 (from their unreleased stuff). I can't put my finger on it, but it sounds familiar...in a good way.

I had no idea what to expect...but goddamn do I like what I'm hearing! Hell, already had to update my signature, heh

Oh yeah! An entire Pandemic happened between album cycles. My man, what an Era we've had. Forgot we survived the apocalypse and live in hell now. Inferno!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sick Times, just before Collapse. Boy did they nail it.

Only issue is that Palace Posy (Apocalypse) is next.

I'm with llydia ...

What year was that from again? That was before the pandemic, I believe, right?

It seems this bsky user received a tape *after* pre-ordering Inferno: https://bsky.app/profile/epsilonaus.bsky.social/post/3mkgwaoffp22b

The tapes are the piece of this that I still don't really understand. I thought that they might be tickets to listening events, but sounds like the web page is ...

Gotta say that I really appreciate how this snippet of a BOC interview from 2000 aged in light of the new album:

"One time we were out in the woods on a really wet day. My friend bet me I couldn't start a fire using only one match. But I managed ...

Useless tidbit:

Number of hexagons in the new BoC logo: 7
Number of letters in Inferno: 7

I feel dumb that I didn't notice that! Nice!

So now we have:

- 7 hexagons
- 7th major release (arguably, if we count High Scores and Twosim)
- 7 deadly sins
- 7 letters in the title

I also just thought ...

Apparently, someone from Bleep posted an update on Reddit about the red vinyls

Welcome to a roundup of our most anticipated pre-orders.
