Circle of Dust

Circle of Dust, the 90s industrial / electronic-rock project created by visionary artist/producer Klayton, marked the beginning of the musical career of the man who later went on to create independent success as <a href="spotify:artist:4BKyei61gtyDFxlKhcvBJJ" data-name="Celldweller">Celldweller</a>, as well as forming his own label – FIXT. Along with four full-length Circle of Dust albums in the 90s (<a href="spotify:album:4IGW2xQy5lgZWeGOjoVoc6" data-name="Circle of Dust (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition]">Circle of Dust (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition]</a>, <a href="spotify:album:6qdFE1hi3ruhW56E424lAM" data-name="Brainchild (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition]">Brainchild (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition]</a>, <a href="spotify:album:1mI0YSgo2Lb7GVDJ7G12qU" data-name="Metamorphosis (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition]">Metamorphosis (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition]</a>, <a href="spotify:album:5h5XUxJ1oMVrTYiNVQBNTm" data-name="Disengage (Remastered)">Disengage (Remastered)</a>), Klayton created a side-project under the name <a href="spotify:artist:2IIRfan7YtrHcldR6G8EmM" data-name="Argyle Park">Argyle Park</a>, which featured a vast collection of guest collaborators, including Tommy Victor of Prong, J.G. Thirlwell of Foetus and Mark Salomon (Stavesacre/Crucified).


The rights to the Circle of Dust &amp;amp; Argyle Park albums were unavailable to Klayton as the original labels they were signed to shut down in the mid-90s. After 2 decades of pursuing a deal to re-gain ownership of the albums, Klayton was finally able to reclaim the rights in 2015.


As Klayton began planning the remastering and re-release of the original albums, a new idea began to grow. He decided to not only re-release each album, but to fully resurrect the project and create a new full-length Circle of Dust album, released December 2016. <a href="spotify:album:0vgWSDnnyWqDHtImuZ8NH1" data-name="Machines of Our Disgrace">Machines of Our Disgrace</a> marks the 5th full-length studio album for industrial music pioneer Circle of Dust, after a near 20 year hiatus. Circle of Dust returns to Klayton’s industrial roots with metal riffs, pulsing electronics and catchy songwriting.
