    "Inferno, Hell, The Abyss. Recognize it? This is what we are turning our world into. Here in the purgatorial chambers they cleanse our memories and birth us into the world again. But part of us still remember, tall buildings of metal, glass and stone, cathedrals and dark citadels that reach crimson skies. And so we build, a replica of our cradle, recreating the homeland, breaking the illusion with one of our own. A new hell to rival the old" - Atrium Carceri

    The noise from outside was the first thing I noticed; a deep, omnipresent thrumming, like someone was operating large machinery. After I got outside I saw that my dome had materialized within a large structure of some sort. Walking around I found that this structure held quite a few pieces of integrated machinery. Most of the places I went to were either cold and dry, or uncomfortably hot and moist. The people here seem dejected and confused whenever I talk to them. My traveling companions all split up around when we arrived, so I’ve been alone for the past week.
    Found raven-lady in one of the deeper parts of the structure today. She was looking through what looked like an accumulation of human bones and other garbage, with some rats or roaches or something of that nature scurrying about in it. Apparently, this collection has been growing for the past 10,000 years. Going by the continual pitter-patter of more things dropping into it, it’s still growing. I saw steam rising out of a pit a little ways away from where I found her. From what I could see, the pit goes down far enough that there’s no light in it past a certain point. There were turbines at the top-most layer, so I’m guessing that’s what’s powering this whole mess. I left, eventually finding a bit of the structure that had been damaged. Some sorta robot was there, repairing the walls and putting machinery back into place. I think this place might be alive.

    Really like the voice at the beginning. It just radiates with sheer weariness and hopelessness, yet holding a degree of strength and resolve, unwilling to give in just yet. To hold on, if only to spite the doom and darkness looming ahead. Never give in to that darkness, even if you are on the brink, never give it satisfaction.

      @@paolovallejo5500 As someone who has only stumbled upon various ambient sub genres in the last few years I have come to agree with you. There are some exceptions of course. Yet I have come to view most of the darker metal I like as the darkness of smoke during a tremendous fire. This stuff is the darkness of the abyss. Be it deep water, deep space, or the underworld, this is where I come for the 'truly dark' as you put it.

    An Inventor... A Wizard... and Their Magic.
    There are four friends. As kids they're in an industrial school. Life is changing.
    One becomes a master of the system, one: a rebel against it, another dies, one disappears.
    Can a few lost souls cope in this unfeeling world of industry, greed and lies?
    Or will they fail, become agents in it, support its dark interests...
    Sometimes genius, rebellion and a naturepunk revolution need to occur
    To save this twisted world of pollution, machines and fire
    and turn it back
    to a growing world of protected nature.
    It takes a little magic.

    I can imagine Anubis sitting on his throne, inside a great pirimid!

    "Hell? Hell you say? Ha! Oh poor soul, you don't know nothing. There is no hell, only the living dungeon inside the flesh, that was created from Ubbo-Sathala, as we were coming into existance, That and only That is true hell. Your body and mind are not yours, what sort of hellish experience is worse than not owning yourself?"

    Thank you for making my needing to read Dante’s Inferno for an English class much more interesting.

    I like this music. A good steady beat, yet has an eerie mystical feel to it. Almost as though I am Dante Aligheri exploring the depths of Hell and the music is Virgil.

    The size of corridors is for two main reasons. One could be to impress a guest. Another would be to accommodate the size of something.
    If you look at the image, it's very large. So either there's something very large in there, or they just happen to like wide spaces.
