    The ARG connected to this seems like brilliant fun! From the wonderfully named youtube-account "Perkeleman's" post under the video

    So I checked the mining company website and at first thought it was a legit company, seems to be actually more lore about this Video/Song. On the bottom it said something about the AMOS incident which got me curious. Googling some more, turns out what happens in the Video is the AMOS incident, the guy we see is Employee David Lehner, obviously making it David vs. Goliath.
    There even is a facebook profile of him: https://www.facebook.com/david.lehner.1042
    On that facebook profile I found out in a comment that you can log into the employee access on the Adaptive Minerals website with the Email being: david.s.lehner@adaptiveminerals.com and the password being thomas, then you can find some emails there with password locked attachements.
    I didn't get any further than this so far, but I love the lore/puzzle around this:D And the fact that it's so under the radar, makes it even more intriguing.
    Edit: There's a discord server that's also on the tracks of this Alternate Reality Game, you can find the guy linking it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ARG/comments/fzlz3p/woodkids_new_single_adaptive_minerals/

      Had no idea there was a new album out! I loved The Golden Age. Thanks for this, Apos!

        No problem! I actually waited a few days to see if someone else was going to post about it. This album is great, I really like Goliath, Reactor and Minus Sixty One the most. Check this fan art:...

        One of the few things that helped me through this weird year is my anticipation for Woodkid's new Album S16. I love the new tracks and the worlbuilding. Here's a little fan art that shows how how I imagine the story to end:
        David discovers the "Sanzu Bridge Facility", a secret location beneath the factory of Adaptive Minerals containing a device, the "Sanzu Brige", that can create life with the help of a rare mineral, Alternate Sulfur S16. He manages to overload the device in order to destroy the monster Goliath. Woodkid, a robot powered by S16 and part of the Sanzu Division, tries to catch the monster's hand to save it but David withholds him since the device would disassamble Woodkid, too.
        Woodkid asks David to let him go and save himself from the collapsing facility. Then he drifts into the air and vanishes together with the monster into the black void of Death where they both reassemble and can be together forever.
