[TRAILHEAD] Zero Collective
Viral for Hawthorne Heights "Zero" album

Google-fu did not present me with much discussion about this Hawthorne Heights viral yet, so I'm guessing it's just in the beginning stages or is going to roll out when the album, "Zero" comes out. Another dystopian future concept album, the viral probably won't be at the same tier as Nine Inch Nails or My Chemical Romance, but it has potential. So! I'll present what little there is so far and people might pick up on it when it gets off the ground.

There's a Twitter account and a website for the Zero Collective (rebel group) that's currently down due to an attack by the C.A.L.M. (the Coalition of Alternative Living Methods).

I did find this in the page source...

Code:

0182810339 Is there anyone out there? 4900343-0-421 978a9356250 5438q04302ll-b 76a6443892w432 Stay away from the parachutes... 03050s0x99w90 0893495830210at7xp 70q90gxpp9345737 Join the resistance. Fight. 39392laz890321xj7 679483830w00040400w0ds Fight. 693939-SPARK-AD89Q9Q9Q9

4900343-0-421 978a9356250 5438q04302ll-b 76a6443892w432 4900343-0-421 978a9356250 5438q04302ll-b 76a6443892w432 hAVE i lost you in the c.a.l.m.? 4900343-0-421 978a9356250 5438q04302ll-b 76a6443892w432

It could either be some kind of code or just garbled nonsense, but certain parts are repeated more than others which makes me think a code? Nothing that I've seen before.

Tied into the "not same tier as NIN or MCR" thing, I say that because a glance at the WHOIS information indicates the Zero Collective site is registered to the drummer. The campaign is probably going to be run by the band. Take it as you will.

With a bit of googling i found

We've done special pre-orders in the past, but nothing compared to what we're doing this time around. We decided to step it up a notch and involve YOU each step of the way! We'll be uploading special content over the course of the next few weeks and if you've pre-ordered you've already seen the exclusive videos, pictures and blogs that we've posted. Every pre-order package includes a digital download of 'ZERO' which will be delivered right to your email before anyone else has a chance to buy it!

We've added several new packages since the launch including an exclusive shirt, limited edition silk-screened posters (designed by Matt), old stage banners (scrims), instruments used in the making of 'ZERO' and tons of cool experiences.

im guessing this is part of the "cool experience" ^^ keeping an eye on it though

also the source code mentions parachutes and its one of the singles apparently http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/hawthorneheights/updates/21689

I got the same DM too. They also posted a pic of a "CALM" crate on twitter a few days ago.
