It’s been a very long and very quiet hiatus for the Clique, at least until the DEMA website was uncovered back in April. The website contained numerous cryptic posts, letters and file names scattered throughout the site, and the Clique immediately went to work deciphering the cryptic clues left by the dynamic duo.
While theories of the album’s release date began circulating, the clues slowly began to die out, leaving the Clique stuck at a dead end with nothing to do but wait.
Until now.
Last night, almost a year after the hiatus began, a distorted 8 second clip appeared on the DEMA website. Fans were quick to jump on the new clue, immediately getting to work on deciphering its meaning.

It should be noted that it sounds like "Bienvenidos" not "Bienvenido".

The file name for the distorted clip is listed as “_ _ n_ot_myo_nly_fri_en d” which sparked a new theory that actually makes a lot of sense.

It was also noticed that TOP deleted all the eye photos from their Facebook page, with the exception of the cover art. Reports were also made that Tyler liked, then unliked, a photo on Instagram.

The discovery was also made that two new TOP songs titled “Jumpsuit” and “Nico and the Niners” are now listed in two different music databases.

If that isn’t enough to give you hope that the hiatus could finally see its end, then head over to StubHub and search Twenty One Pilots. The search brings up one event, Lollapalooza Argentina 2019 which is set to take place in March.

While it’s a lot to take in, it should also come as no surprise within minutes of the discovery of the distorted clip, TOP began trending on Twitter.
