Tracklist #
The song MANTRA from the album amo.
The song nihilist blues from the album amo.
The song in the dark from the album amo.
The song sugar honey ice & tea from the album amo.
Mantra directly ties back to the Neosages/Mantra cult. Nihilist Blues, while only getting a lyric video release, seems to contain some cryptic messages that might relate to the ARG lore as well. In The Dark is the first music video Oli ever directed and has significant ties to the lore, introducing an organisation called ARC/HIVE. Sugar, Honey, Ice & Tea has strong ties to Mantra (showing the Mantra suit and some articles about cults), containing imagery about angels and more. Connections to other songs have not (yet) been found.

Lore significance #
The song Mantra was long suspected to be related to the ARG and a link was made between the D8 log and the ARC/HIVE company we see in “in the dark”. The Trinity analysis document first introduced on 19-06-2024 confirmed this.
The D8 log introduces us to ARC/HIVE and Dallus Lauren. Project D.U.S.T. goes deeper into the research at this organisation from 2021. Another project ARC/HIVE seemed to have some involvement in is the production of synths, as we see in the Tekka Interview.
The Science Study introduces a rare phenomenon causing people to be born with pink hair. This relates back to the mysterious leader of the MANTRA/Neosages cult, Skys. The cult resides in a location called October Palace, which we can also see in Sky_&_the_Starjammers.png. We learn more about the Mantra cult from Dr Lee in the Nex Gen leak ‘UNBELEEVABLE’.
Skys and Dallus are members of the Trinity, as we learn in Trinity Analysis Document.

Documents #
The D8 log is a log from Ikaro Lauren, activating EVE and witnessing her genesis. The document also deals with his grief around the loss of his father, Dallus Lauren.
Operation Trinity is a file discussing ARC/HIVE's operation to retrieve Karl Strassman, Dallus Lauren and Skys from the Mantra cult from Novosovia. We learn from the Project D.U.S.T. research proposal that the 'special six' were also retrieved during the operation.
This document proposes projects D.U.S.T. and project S.Y.K.O. The proposal was written by Dr. Elias Mortem, Lead Scientist at ARC/HIVE.
The Science Study is a newspaper dated 2037, describing the phenomenon of radiogenic leukotrichia, a mysterious genetic anomaly that causes pink hair. The newspaper also features other articles about spiritual science, the third eye and a picture we are told is young Skys in the Unbeleevable video.
The Nex Gen leak file includes an email from Nex Gen's Susan White, who is addressing the UNBELEEVABLE episode from CRAP TV. This fictional episode where Dr. Lee MD speaks about the cult of MANTRA and Genxsis contains compromising information for the company.
