Additionally, the duo formed by Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun sent letters via email to fans about the narrative of Twenty One Pilots’ latest albums
Without releasing a studio album since May 21, 2021, Twenty One Pilots indicated that they should release the seventh album of their career in 2024. On the morning of this Thursday, the 12th, the duo formed by Tyler Joseph (vocals) and Josh Dun (drums) changed the covers of almost every other work on music streaming platforms.
On platforms like Apple Music It is Deezer (hasn’t happened yet Spotifyfor example), the covers of Vessel (2013), Blurryface (2015), Trench (2019) and Scaled and Icy (2021) had a red ribbon on top.
It is worth highlighting how, with the exception of Blurryface, red ribbons covered the eyes in the images on the respective covers. So far, the band has not revealed details of the release date of a possible single or their seventh album. However, the insider altguywho anticipated releases by other artists, said how Twenty One Pilots should release a song by the end of February 2024.
Remembering that an insider already anticipated that we would have a new single by the end of the month. Is coming! https://t.co/LQPwpoVmIy

Furthermore, in the United States, the duo sent around 1,500 letters home to fans, with some information about the narrative that has been conveyed on the albums since Blurryface. The document was written by the character Clancyrepresentative of Tyler Joseph.
I’m not as scared as I used to be.
Their mystery begins to fade as a method to defeat them becomes clearer. I no longer feel helpless. I can be smarter than them. This new power of psychokinesis has skyrocketed and I believe it can work again. I stand here, looking at the line where the referee defines the sand as the starting line. All the while knowing there is a finish line across the Straits. Their compass lies, but mine remains true.
I left embers of inspiration, I just hope that the spark that was left became a torch and together we create hell.

Below, understand the narrative proposed by Twenty One Pilots since Blurryface
It all started with Blurryfacerepresenting the insecurities and negative side of Tyler Joseph. The singer took this to music videos and stages, painting his neck and hands black. In Trenchthe duo elevated this narrative to a thousandth power.
On the disk, Blurryface is represented as Nicobishop responsible for controlling the citizens of the fictional city of Dema. With him are eight other bishops – and they can be seen in the clips from “Jumpsuit,” “Nico and the Niners” It is “Levitate.” Through the three videos, Twenty One Pilots told a story.
In “Jumpsuit,” Tyler Joseph is chased by Nico. Josh Dun and the Banditos (fan representatives) try to save the singer, but the bishop captures him anyway and takes him to Dema. Following on “Nico and the Niners,” Josh can invade Demasaves his friend and leaves with him to Trenchbasis of resistance against the forces of evil.
Finally, in “Levitate,” during a celebration in Trenchthe bishops manage to capture Tyler and take him to Dema again. Remember this part, because Scaled And Icy starts from there.
In the narrative established by the band, Tyler It is Josh created the new record under the control of the bishops and Dema – this would explain the change in tone, because it wouldn’t be the band itself producing Scaled And Icy. In an interview with Kerrang!the vocalist explained why the new era is “more joyful.”
“A somber record would not be appropriate [nessa época de pandemia], the idea of escaping was more appealing to me. The reason why [o álbum] it seems almost disconnected from the reality where the album was created is intentional. It will feel a little lighter because of it,” he stated.
A curiosity: Scaled And Icy also serves as an anagram of “Clancy is dead.” Clancy first appeared in the universe of Trench, who also fights the bishops. It was presented through letters on a band website called Dmaorg.info. This advertisement Demaapparently, wanted us to believe in his death – for unknown reasons.
