GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[Navaru]

This weddings horseshit.

Listen, if I'm expected to do all this fucking, I'd at least like a proper meal first...

[SamuraiDrifter]

Black Sabbath and Sufjan Stevens are good Christian entertainment, and I enjoy both. The important part is FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA.

I really hate most social media, especially Facebook. I deleted my personal account last year and just have an alt to keep up with a couple of pages, including BoC. I'm way happier without it.

But would you procreate with it?

I don’t use much social media except Twitter and Instagram for music promotion, and Discord for talking to people I like

In my post I say I'm okay with speculation and optimism, its more about overanalyzing someone's actions in their accounts or the people involved: the users that made the videos, ian pic, marcus personal insta, and I'm worried that if any of them were to read all of this speculation surrounding everything they do or knowing that people have browser tabs on their stuff pressing the refresh button or looking up the cache for their profile, they would be bothered or creeped out, since that thing is a bit different than just being happy about them giving a few likes on twitter on posts saying 'hope to see the new album soon' which is totally fine I also share that sentiment, but this on the other hand I feel its going a bit too far. I guess that if that's the case at some point mdg will come here and make a statement about it, if that happens I'm sure everyone would understand though.

It seems obvious some of these accounts were made to be found.

Take the Mike and Marcus twitter accounts, for example. If they just wanted social media accounts to quietly follow people for their own reasons, they could easily sign up using fake names and never be located. But they signed up using their real names, followed the BOC twitter, and in Mike's case posted a couple of song lyrics from Joni Mitchell and The Incredible String Band. And Marcus uploaded a BOC-esque piece of art as his banner to Twitter in the last couple of days along with all this other activity.

No one's prying into anyone's personal life here, these are public social media accounts that they've specifically chosen to connect not only with their own names, but with Boards of Canada, and they have a long history of hiding breadcrumb trails under accounts on multiple websites (AtalantaFugiens, Hell Interface, Sheol Boundary back in 2013).

This is intentional. They know full well people are going to be scouring the social media accounts connected to these various pages.

I agree with this. With being this secretive, and the whole campaign for TH, they know that we are crazy, and leave no stone unturned. This is kind of what you get for being so secretive.

And, in a shocking twist, a very reclusive man who values his privacy retracts and clears his social media account when a bunch of rabid internet fans try to follow him...

I appreciate your sarcasm like anyone else, but it's not weird to have socials when you're a parent and perhaps like to keep tabs on your children. Or maybe he just likes to browse Instagram without further ado. All this has nothing to do with being a reclusive internet shy person like they perhaps once claimed to be.

[Fredd-E]

I also think that them posting a video for that song is merely just a coincidence, not that they did it because Fredd-E made a joke/pun with it.

Don't burst my balloon, yet.

While there are a few people on this board who can go a little crazy with the skepticism (we've all been there) and even fewer, but still too many, people who can get a little too personal with it, I don't think the brothers mind unless we start digging up personal info. If Marcus was seriously butthurt about us lurking on his insta I'm sure we would know. I'm sure he doesn't love that he has random people around the globe looking at his followers and that's why he made the account private. I don't think anything from these past few weeks has gone over the line. I think its important to know that these events have pretty much confirmed that the brothers (or someone close to them) is reading this forum constantly, or at least has been recently.

Perhaps one of the moderators?

wow, that actually didn’t cross my mind could very well be the case.

All joking aside. People should try and practice more of Occam's Razor in here. Difficult for me too.

Not related to this "campaign", but what do you think about this yt account?

https://youtube.com/user/laciryl

It was created in 2006 (same period as many of their accounts) but posted videos only after the societas x tape broadcast. It now shows the blue dot as well but I'm sure nothing has changed since the beginning.

Hi, that's my YT account. I made these mixes as my own personal X Tapes.

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA LISTEN TO BLACK SABBATH

I prefer Sufjan Stevens. He's good Christian entertainment.

I respect Sufjan, but as a believer, the bros' music actually makes me feel closer to God.

[TheStatPow]

This might sound absolutely dumb but. Could this be contractually obligated activity? like warp getting a bit pissed BoC hasn't shown any activity in a while?
