Metropolis Records is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based record label, distributor, and mail-order store specializing in the electro-industrial, synthpop, futurepop, darkwave, and gothic musical genres.

Metropolis Records grew out of a small record store located in the popular South Street area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Digital Underground, opened in April of 1991, and specialized in the relatively young genres of Gothic and Electro-Industrial music. Although the scene was small, it didn’t take long before people were seeking out Digital Underground from across the entire middle eastern corridor. In 1992, the record store expanded to become a mail order company as well. By this time, records were being directly imported from major industrial labels in Europe, thus offering a much wider selection of imported music.

In 1999, Metropolis Records purchased a few other electro-industrial and goth focused music labels, including Pendragon Records and 21st Circuitry.
Record labels distributed through Metropolis include A Different Drum, Alfa Matrix, Cleopatra, Nilaihah, KMFDM, Projekt, Strange Ways, DSBP, and WTII.
