Twenty One Pilots have officially announced the Clancy time of Thursday (February 29). The four-year calendar quirk was the perfect time to reveal that the final chapter in Blurry face The saga will unfold when the Columbus, Ohio duo's seventh album is released on May 17.
Ahead of the release of the video for first single 'Overcompensate', singer/guitarist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun shared the album's fiery artwork earlier in the day, which features the pair standing in the middle of a field licking flames, titled sits vertically above Joseph's hood. -darkened face.
The graphic “Overcompensation” opens with a floating shot of an ocean before a female voice and insistent keyboard appear over a map of Trench's fictional country. The drone-like shot flies over a barren-like island before dropping to Dema as an ominous voice cries out, “welcome back to the Trench.”
The scene changes to an empty arena bathed in red light, with Dan in the middle of the floor playing the thunderous beat of the song, as a masked Joseph materializes to sing to a room full of sullen youths in gray T-shirts. With the beat slowing down, Joseph breaks into his signature rap beat, “I earned my stripes/ Three hundred pieces in my Adidas jacket/ Bless your ear holes while you react/ Hypocritical bewildered, don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate/ I feel that I was right here/ Same twitches in my eyes,” before singing the melodic chorus, “Flying off the dangerous turn symbol/ Don't hesitate maybe overcompensate/ And then until I catch my peripheral/ Don't hesitate maybe overcompensate.”
Climbing to a high point in a pulpit-like spot – not unlike the platform Joseph often climbs on during the band's concerts – the singer then reveals 'I am Clancy', opening his jacket to reveal braces with their rune-like letters horizontally. Near the end of the clip, the audience stirs and Dun and Tyler move to the front of a classroom while a series of mysterious symbols, maps and legends are projected onto their faces. It ends, of course, with yet another inexplicable image: a bright-eyed Clancy dressed in black holding up a pair of animal horns before smiling slyly at the camera.
Because the crowded 21P building is littered with more Easter eggs than a Taylor Swift concert, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Clancy's release date is exactly nine years after the first album was released in 2015. Blurry face epic. Last week the band kicked off the release of the new album's story via the four-minute recap video “I Am Clancy,” which served as a reference to the story of the allegorical walled city of Dema, the rebel Banditos. team and the villain of the story, red Nice, also known as Blurryface.
The upcoming album is billed as the final entry in the long-running story that began with the group's discovery in 2015 Blurry face album and then continued in 2018 Trench and 2021 Scaled and frozen. The news was accompanied by what appears to be his color theme Clancy album, paperwork, which was spotted over the band's digital album covers on streaming services. Blurryface's story began with a red and black color scheme before switching to yellow for Trench.
