Second Circle

"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.

"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.

[2] Despite not having been released until 2015, the song has been part of the band's live show since 2011.
