"Second Circle" is a song by American electro-industrial band Finite Automata.[1] It was released on May 1, 2015 by the band as a self-release in digital format, and licensed to Beyond Therapy Records. The track is a reference to the Second Circle of Hell according to Dante's Inferno, and deals with the concept of perversion and blind lust as a means of control. Originally intended as the first single off of the band's follow up album to their 2012 release, Recurse, it is now considered a stand alone release by the band. The record was re-released on Latex Records in 2016 following Beyond Therapy Records' dissolution.
Recording[]
"Second Circle" was originally written in 2011; approximately the same time Finite Automata was finishing up their debut release, Here Won No One and rehashing material for Recurse. However, at the time, producer and front-man did not believe the song fit stylistically with the current releases, and shelved it for release on the next album.[2] Despite not having been released until 2015, the song has been part of the band's live show since 2011. Like its predecessor, the release was again mastered by of and , however unlike previous releases, the single was also mixed by Sochocki as well.
