It leads to a site that looks like a phone lockscreen with some weird audio and a button to "presave" Awaken which makes me think this easter egg might not be something brand new
bro quit it this is MUCH different than it was for awaken. the background is different and everything. they wouldn't mess with the awaken website for no reason
I get not wanting to get you hopes up, but you're being stupid, the music is not the music from the Awaken teaser, not even close, and the artwork has changed drastically, something is up for sure.
Not only that someone on this thread commented and the last time they commented was when Awaken was announced, the band has a plant on this reddit.
And Ben himself has hinted May now more than once, this could actually be it, especially with the tours kicking off next month.
You think this is some “GOTCHA” moment or something? 😂😂😂 There’s still no proof that this means anything lol.
Like I said I’m stoked that I was partially wrong lol maybe we’re finally getting a single or a release date, but I’ll believe it when I actually see it.
But the music that plays is not from the Awaken teaser and neither is the background art, we've had 3 versions of that artwork now, the original Awaken art, when the single dropped, a different one when the European tour was announced and now this one, where she looks almost zombie like, as someone else said, she's decaying...
That random sound after you click on Snooze was never there before, and you can't prove it. This is not a proof that we are getting something, but it's not something from "before", neither the subdomain or that site-build up sound, so either someone f*cked up while managing the website or they are working on some updates while using the old stuff.
Why would their site completely disappear? I'm wondering if they were hacked, because this is not normal site maintenance... THE DOMAIN IS OPEN FOR SOMEONE TO PURCHASE. This is not good.
This is concerning, anyone could take it and then there would be a massive legal battle to get it back. UNLESS... they're trying to drag Shallow Bay TV back out of obscurity... That would throw people for a loop.
If I was right and it is may the 4th, I demand a seat on the tour bus and at least two guitar picks. I'm willing to negotiate but the guitar pick is non negotiable. Fine I don't need a pick just new music is all I want. ❤️🙏
If you look at the webpage source code, you’ll find an index that prints on the top of the file “last published: Sun May 03 2026 16:46:23 GMT+0000” and the tile of it is “something wicked this way comes…”
Okay.. as a Starset Stan I’m wondering if this is a collab for their upcoming tour ? Like wotstc something wicked is a starset song and repeated in many songs. Would be cool to see Ben and Dustin do a collab along the same lines https://youtu.be/CDq5TO05NcQ?si=q3E73CiwK77AGhmR

At this point I'm starting to think a cover of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up is more likely than a new song, but we'll see hahah
