There’s A Brand New Mystery Surrounding Brand New

The band’s fans have identified a countdown, which’ll seemingly end on November 6. What could it all mean?

There’s A Brand New Mystery Surrounding Brand New

Brand New fans on Reddit are convinced they’ve found evidence of something new coming, something scheduled for November 6, due to the discovery of a mysterious countdown.

User SirBrothers posted: “[RABBIT HOLE] It looks like there’s a new Brand New countdown”, and proceeded to provide his evidence – uncovered with the assistance of fellow Reddit users /u/LongIslandWeatherman and /u/fusionano. Foremost amongst it is a post by a user called /u/ax20fb0a7 – the user name actually representing code for the date of November 6.

Said post points to a website, knowgodsjustwork.com, which features nothing more (right now) than a set of what appear to be a set of codes. These move around the page, as you refresh it – and, according to SirBrothers, the site hides a bunch of subdomains and directories, and even Morse code, that all lead back to that same date: November 6. 

Then there’s 451.knowgodsjustwork.com. Head to that site and you’ll see a set of boxes with letters beside them. Tick the ones needed to spell “fightyourdemns” (selected in that order), and, well, you get this:

That’s a photo by Thobias Faldt, who shot the cover for Brand New’s latest album, Science Fiction, which we wrote about in no little detail over here.

FightOffYourDemons.com is, of course, the URL for the band's own official site.

What any of this will lead to, nobody’s sure. “It could be a really well-done troll,” posts SirBrothers. But the rabbit hole, OMG, it goes, and it goes, and it goes. Check out SirBrothers’ original Reddit post here if you’re ready to get weird.
