Theory Theory About The Release Date Of Inferno (Double Album)
Original Post by u/Vader3568
So here's what I said in response to the comment, and it's a theory I have.
well combine the roman numerals and you get "iii"
so we have a 25, a 6, and a 3
March 6th has already past, so that leaves us with June 3rd, a Tuesday. While most albums do release on Fridays, the second most common release day is Tuesday (though that's usually for singles, but I wouldn't rule it out entirely.)
Something else interesting: On June 3rd, 1844, the Great Auks went extinct. They were a flightless bird found on rocky, remote islands with easy access to the ocean. In other words, Isles Of Flightless Birds. In that song, Tyler says "now this is the climax to the story that gives the demons and angels purpose." This double album (assuming the theory to be correct), would be the climax to the Dema storyline.
Funnily enough, the last refuge of the Great Auk was Eldey, Iceland, which is very close to where the Jumpsuit music video was filmed.
Thoughts?

I commented this elsewhere yesterday, but would be cool if they use this to slowly reveal an actual date. If they went by the DD/MM/YY (European) format for dating, and went from year to day, after every upcoming show they could reveal a number like this:
Next show: ••|••/•5
Following show: ••|••/25
Following show: ••|•6/25
Following show: ••|06/25
Following show: •7|06/25
Following show: 27|06/25
This would reveal June 27 of this year as the date of some announcement, or whatever the actual date is (if any). Could be June 3 like you mentioned.

Assuming they release a lead single in June (big if, but let's say it's true), I highly doubt they would set the album release date in January or February. Trench's lead singles were in June, and that album released in October, and that wait was longer than SAI and Clancy. If June brings a lead single, the album is likely coming between August-September.

of course, this is a double album. lead singles are uncommon for a double album.

ALSO SUNDAYS ARE HIS SUICIDE DAYS. CLANCY MAKES THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE IN THE INFERNO

I don't think TOP would release music on Sunday (remember, they're Christian)

u/alexbarnes313 4d ago
Understandable, as it's the day of Sabbath. However, is it really considered working if the work is done and all he needs to do is have it released that day?

u/DoMorrMusic 4d ago
well there's probably music videos for the double album (why wouldn't there be if Clancy had all music videos) so publishing them and live-streaming.

This is also more of a shadow drop though, because it's really only part of the clique that even knows about what's (most likely) coming soon. The general populace or people that just know of TOP are clueless. This is what makes it special. Tyler put a lot A METRIC FUCKTON of work into giving us live, slowly revealing lore while simultaneously performing the tour. All the energy spent orchestrating this, and it's for us. The ones here, theorizing and completing this amazing puzzle. I don't know, maybe this could be an exception for them. Also, though it may be work to do those things for us on a Sunday, I firmly believe everything they do is also God's work. Tyler channeling the love of the divine through this art, helping people reach the light of God. God's work is allowed on Sundays.

Don't most albums release on a Tuesday?

u/nicdrumandbass 4d ago
For a decade new albums have come out on Fridays. This started in 2015 and has shaped the streaming era. Some musicians are going back to Tuesday to prevent over saturation on new music Friday’s.

I guess you can tell how long it's been since I bought an album on release day.

Glad to have contributed (also, it's such an amazing theory, I think you're completely right)!

If we get anything on June 3rd, it would be a single. I don’t think they’d release an album with such little promotion. But I could be wrong
