I can confirm it’s etched all over the image. I noticed something funny, I was taking some pictures and the center in the back page does some sort of optical illusion effect. Will try to upload them over the weekend. Since a long time I don’t upload a picture to a forum, any advice? The last time I tried it complained about the size of the file.

However I can’t find the coordinates image, if anyone can helps, haha. EDIT: found it! it's very, very tiny detail! lol. Not sure if I would find it myself alone.

Thanks for checking that out! I’m probably going to buy the record even though I don’t play them anymore. Haha.

fall tour dates announced. its all solo shows. i seriously doubt theyre gonna play a full solo show for only 50 minutes. i think the shows will be at least 1,5 hours or 2 hours. i cant imagine them not playing anything old. but i seriously wouldnt be pissed if they simply played self titled + lucro sucio + intertiatic + widow. also anyone noticed how john frusciante is credited with recording on youtube and tidal but not on instagram? also, saying that eva and willy are "additional" means that eva is out of the band probably

Last few legs around 1:45/50 min. So we can expect something like that.

They can also stretch Lucro live and make it longer than 45 min. But wtv they decide they will include some old tunes.

I have no clue what's going on with this star map cryptic high concept stuff, but lyrically what I'm really getting is Cedric reflecting on how his life fell apart in Scientology and wanting to repair the damage done to his and Omar's relationship.

I know I said idk about the star map stuff but the lyrics in vocifero do mention "22 parallel lines" as well as a biblical reference to putting blood on the door in the Book of Exodus in Egypt I think? Egypt is at the 22nd parallel. Gotta keep digging I guess lol
