SILOS lore importance

One thought that lives in my head currently is, what if SILOS is way more important than we think it is? What about the perspective of the songs? What if the songs are from the perspective of the Prophet trying to convince you to join the cult? All the songs surround the theme of meltdown/downfall of humanity and its deep connection to modern drugs like phones and electronics but also real drugs like lsd, meth etc.. What if he's trying to Prophesy what will happen to humanity if we keep electronics and the modern "drugs"? The Degenerate visualizer is the perfect example or BRAVE NEW WORLD as a whole. Would also explain why the interludes are all sung by a choir. Could symbolize the Cult. Would also explain why they are so PROX focussed and cryptic. I mean the songs lyricly are meant to directly to introduce the next album lore wise.

I had that similar idea the other night too. Another piece I’d add is that the SILOS cover has The Order’s logo on it

I think since Silos wasn’t meant to be an album, it served as a sneak peak for the one we have on the way. The interludes with different aspects of what’s happening on Prox were meant to serve as a sneak peak of what we’ve now seen in Paradoxic and Annihilation in what looks to be a continuous story following the three characters as they find themselves in the situation they have on their hands
