IO Interactive are kicking off the teases for the next Hitman map in a really neat way with a fake band and real vinyl record.

The latest Hitman map, taking place in Thailand, is set to release sometime this month and IO Interactive has started the marketing push for it. They created a twitter account for a band called The Class and various other social media pages for them, even going as far as to make a Bandcamp page. The music video for their “latest” song is clearly using in-game footage of what appears to be the next area and even features Agent 47 standing ominously in a record studio. If the included press release is to be believed, the area will take place in a luxury hotel in Thailand. The music video is for a track called “Are We Stars”, but the vinyl itself lists two more songs on the other side of the record, “Shine a Light” and “Gun Show”. Coincidentally, there are three more maps to be released for Hitman: Thailand, USA, and Japan.

Band Bio:

Brooklyn-based alternative rock band THE CLASS started out as a collaboration between lead singer Jordan Cross and guitarist Heidi Santoro. The pair met in London, where they both studied at the prestigious St. Claremont’s School of Art. Cross and Santoro were joined by Scottish drummer Quentin Moriarty who’d been a part of the Dundee punk rock band Defilers of Kilt.

Togehter, the trio travelled to Cross’ native New York, primarily playing clubs before releasing their first EP Soft Currency through long-time publishing collaborator Monumental Records. Cross’ soulful singing combined with Santoro’s signature riffs hit a nerve with the millennial crowd.

But succes cam at a cost, and tragedy struck one night as Cross’ long-time sweetheart fell to her death in a terrible accident. Destroyed with grief, Cross withdrew from public eye for at time but eventually emerged stronger and with great creative force.

The Class are currently working on their second album, Providence, having already recorded three new songs at the Himmapan luxury hotel resort on the Chao Phraya river in Thailand. Check it out:
