AFTHARSIAS
////////////////////////
Simply put, the word means 'incorruption'.
In this particular case (the EP) however, it also signifies a certain stagnation, especially Oudeis' own supposed or perceived inability to progress and evolve in his sound and designs.
Certainly many of you have felt this way - stuck in a loop which doesn't break.
If you look at this loop in two dimensions, then it's a vicious circle.
However, and at that being somewhat optimistic, in three dimensions the circle is actually a spiral, which means there is some sort of evolution and change involved (it's not a closed steady state system).
Thus "Aftharsias" is a murmur of discontent about the experience of being stuck in one small, claustrophobic cycle which does not seem to end. And hopefully it's a step forward technically and conceptually.
However it is important to point out that this particular EP is not as dark as the majority of Oudeis' productions. This is a somewhat brighter take on this topic.

mostly dark stuff accompanied by occasional word vomit
