GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[re-phaelam-ed]

hmmm...those photos made me think of The Hills Have Eyes [original. not the new crap].
....that movie came out in 1977.

The Hills Have Eyes is filmed in Apple Valley/Victorville CA....just down the road from Yermo.

Damn, there used to be a Del Taco right down the street from where I work, but it closed down last year I feel left out.

Wait... guys.

Double Del = Double Album

Called it.

the only reason i think this place in Yermo was chosen is because it's a fitting backdrop
seemingly post-apocalyptic, ties in with the whole NCD thing, even ties in with the banner on Warp's boc page

okay seeing these makes me think that the bathroom symbols are probably not a clue. they just seem like a periodically repeated decor tile, not uncommon for washroom design of that era. the "men's room" seems to have its own version - the white tiles with the 1950s looking traingles.

however i do find it interesting that some people think the gas station isn't involved at all, since warp went through some effort to project a video of the place in a very public place across from a significant record store. which is quite a definite statement. and in this climate where every detail is being thoroughly scrutenized from all angles, surely they would have anticipated that someone would wonder where that gas station was? it's not a very big leap of logic.

i find it hard to believe that the projection was purely incidental, merely acting as visual wallpaper to create a "desert vibe." to me it seems like a very deliberate choice.

Has anyone been down this road yet?

Nuclear dawn. Trinity, the first nuclear test in Nevada.

I've been away for a few hours and don't have time to back track through the pages.

Interesting considering the atomic explosion image the band uses on their Warp homepage banner.

I'm sure they anticipated that some people would wonder where that image was taken. But my guess is that they never anticipated someone would actually be able to identify the place.

That pic in the bathroom looks like the Metaphase of mitosis aka when cells divide.

Relevant? Don't know.. It was just bothering me what that image reminded me of!

Curious that this symbol was found on the bathroom wall. Cell division or mutation as a result of nuclear testing. NCD references. And someone already brought up the 1977 movie "The Hills Have Eyes" with the mutant people living in the old atomic bomb testing grounds. The video last night showing this same filling station couldn't have been a coincidence...

i don't know - i'm pretty sure warp is well aware of how crazy BOC fans are.

yea thumbs up for finding out what it was, i'd no idea. very odd thing to put on a wall there.
the sprayed painted 'Punks Not Dead' overlaps one of them suggesting it has been there for a while but that could be easily done to make us think this. 'Punks Not Dead' could have been sprayed on it last weekend after the drew those diagrams.

its far out there stretch, but still, a very odd thing to find in there.

What are seed banks for?

i smell a concept album

This is trippy as fuck. http://youtu.be/NxMcfyDrjgI

Saw it on WATMM... Just pointing out the fakes.... Trips me out though.

Since we're on the topic of nuclear testing and the relationship to the geography of the filling station from last night's video, perhaps BOC will deliver an album dealing with the post apocyptic consequences of nuclear war or accident? The aftermath or rebirth (harvest) of our planet. Seems completely feasible now. Plus, this fits with the whole New Clear Dawn theme. I know that topic has been played out, but with all of the new clues, this concept can behin to make more sense now than it did a few years back when that site was first discovered. Pure speculation but equally awesome.

I don't know if someone have noticed it yet, but "yermo" in spanish means uncultivated place or wasteland, the opposite meaning of "cosecha"

I was skeptical about the nuclear connection, but these little details trickling in are beginning to convince me. The fact that signalquality.co.uk was updated in January is interesting, but what's more is that it redirects to a missing page on the EPA's website about radiation protection. Hmm.

edit: It looks like the missing page with the file name "radnet-chicago-bg.html" has been relocated here.

the mutants in hills have eyes were the result of nuclear testing.
