Circle of Dust is an industrial/thrash metal band formed by Klayton Scott, commonly known as Celldweller.

Circle of Dust was the main project of Scott Albert (a.k.a. Klay Scott, Klayton) after the disbanding of his previous band, Immortal (No relation to the famous black metal act of the same name). For the touring line up, the band was joined by lead guitarist Daren ”Klank” Diolosa and Scott's brother Dan ”Levler” Albert.

Subsequently, Albert continued to produce several other projects under a variety of pseudonyms. These projects include (most notably): Celldweller, Argyle Park, Chatterbox, Klank, and Angeldust.

After the band's breakup, Klayton released one last album, Disengage in 1998. The liner notes to Disengage contained bits and pieces of an interview he had done, in which he explained that he had chosen to disband Circle of Dust and start anew with a later project called Angeldust (which also featured Criss Angel).

Ah, the 90's, the golden age of industrial metal. Bands like Ministry, Godflesh, Fear Factory, Pitchshifter, KMFDM, and many others were at the top of their game. One of the lesser known bands that were also at the top of their game was Circle of Dust with their masterpiece Brainchild. At this time, Circle of Dust fit well along the lines of Ministry-esque industrial thrash albeit with a bit more of a range of electronics. The band broke up in '98 for multiple reasons, with frontman Klayton going solo as Celldweller.

Now, Klayton is back with Circle of Dust, releasing singles until the new album is released. How does their return fare? I'd say they came, saw, and kicked ass.

Take some brutal thrashings of Slayer, a bit of classic Stabbing Westward, and some of the experimental aspects of Celldweller and you have "Contagion". Klayton's vocals are quite varied, he can go from clean Trent Rezor-esque sneers to guttural screams. The Slayer-esque riffs will tear your skin, and the rapid speed of the guitars and drums towards the end will blast your skull.

Circle of Dust has certainly come back with a bang, and brings one of the most intense industrial thrash metal songs I've heard in a while. If you like industrial, thrash, or both, do yourself a favor and check this killer track out. Can't wait for the new album.

Hope you found this review helpful, feel free to comment!
