***THE ALBUM AND THE FILM THAT INSPIRED IT***
"The City Beneath" is a longform dark ambient piece inspired by the epic, groundbreaking 1927 science fiction silent film "Metropolis" by German director Fritz Lang. The composition explores the themes presented in the film and in particular, the subterranean city of the oppressed working class. 

***RELEASE INFO***
"The City Beneath" was composed and recorded in early May of 2010 and released as a CDr on Black Drone: 13 Series on May 13, 2010 (catalog # 13-7) in an edition of 26 copies. Black Drone's plan was to do a series of 13 CDr releases on their 13 Series sublabel on the 13th of each month, in editions of 13, 26 or 39 copies. However, the project was not completed and ceased after catalog number 13-9. Remaining copies of releases were distributed by Black Drone and other international distributors like Wolvenpact. By 2011, "The City Beneath" was completely sold out and had gone out of print. The original recording was very slightly tweaked, cleaned up and overall remastered in late July 2011 and re-released on Subterrestrial Netlabel. New front and back covers were created from the original graphic materials.
