So the EP's have nothing to do with the concept of the trilogy? Not even Chaining the K-thing?

They're regarded as addendums to the full lengths that preceded them as far as I'm aware so should probably be included, if you want to see it in that way.

That's what I read somewhere as well, but then somewhere else stating that that isn't the case eother. So, it's probably safest to not include them as part of the trilogy.

In terms of theme I have no idea what the connection is between the proposed trilogy, I can't say I really care though as lyrically they're so self indulgent any real understanding seems to go more on personal interpretation (which probably appeals to some but doesn't exactly gel all that well for connecting records together) but Kenose is a rather ideal bridge between SMRC and the ultra dense FAS. The same goes for Katechon and Paracletus too in many ways. I'd find the transistion from album to album a lot easier, and far more satisfying, if the two EP's were included.

I did play the five in order as well yesterday (Christamss day ) and even though playing the three full-lengths back to back already does the trick, playing the five back to back makes for an even better flow musicwise.

I really need to do that at some point, it's quite an undertaking though, especially if want to stay consciously aware of it throughout.

It's an interesting way to spend Christmas =P

Chaotic, confusing, but at the same time heavy, dark and obscure.

"Apokatastasis Pantôn" is a mindblowing song.
