Was the website ever real? 👀

For months now, this website has been posting cryptic images, dating back to May. The site was created using Canva and registered through GoDaddy. It was only registered for a year, meaning it would eventually need renewing, but we are nowhere near that point yet. It is now September and the website has suddenly stopped working and is showing a Cloudflare error.

That could mean a few things. The site could have been taken down, the hosting could have been removed, the DNS could have been changed, or there could simply be an issue with the website. So I don’t think we can say for certain that it has been deleted. The last image posted was of a gravestone/angel sculpture. Could this suggest the death of the band? Maybe. But if that is what this was all leading to, why would the band create and pay for a new website, post cryptic images for months and then just end it? They could have simply made an announcement. This is why a big part of me believes the website might not belong to the band at all. Maybe it was cheaply made by a fan who eventually got bored, stopped paying for it or decided to take it down. But then that creates another question. Why go through all that effort and spend money on a website just to do nothing with it? And then there are the images.

If it wasn’t the band, where did this person get them? They weren’t obviously stolen or AI generated. They appeared to be genuine, previously unseen photographs, and not just random locations that anyone could have photographed. Some were from locations across the world, including places very close to the band themselves.

That is the part that makes absolutely no sense to me. A fan making a strange website is believable. A fan somehow getting genuine, previously unseen images connected to the band and locations around them is a completely different story. So right now I can see two possibilities. Either the website was connected to the band and there is a reason it has now disappeared, or it was an incredibly elaborate fan project that someone eventually abandoned.

If it really is the band, I hope we get answers soon. If it isn’t, then honestly, what a complete waste of time from whoever was behind it. I just can’t understand why someone would go through all of that purely to disappear.
