"Our choices echo through eternity..."

Circle of Dust, the ‘90s industrial-metal project of artist/producer Celldweller, is back, announcing a pre-order for the anticipated 2-LP vinyl edition of Circle of Dust’s explosive 2016 comeback album, Machines of Our Disgrace, featuring the new single "Invisible World" out now from FiXT.

Originally released in 2016 after a nearly two-decade hiatus, Machines of Our Disgrace is Circle of Dust’s fifth full-length album and a powerful statement piece from Klayton, better known to many as Celldweller and Scandroid. The album marked a massive creative resurgence, fusing metal riffs, glitchy electronics, and raw industrial noise into a sound that’s equal parts nostalgic and forward-looking. 

Machines of Our Disgrace isn’t just music, it’s a brutal mirror held up to humanity’s accelerating descent into technological dependence. Across 13 core tracks, the album unpacks themes of transhumanism, biohacking, surveillance, dehumanization, and the blurred line between evolution and manipulation. Tracks like “Contagion” and the title track “Machines of Our Disgrace” explore our surrender to the machine and the consequences of automation and blind progress. “alt_Human” and “Neurachem” dive into the ethics of gene editing and synthetic enhancement. “Hive Mind” and “Humanarchy” challenge the illusion of individuality in a digitally homogenized world. On the hauntingly emotional “Outside In,” Klayton shifts gears, revealing a fragile, human core beneath the circuitry with acoustic guitars, layered harmonies, and cinematic sound design.

The album was unflinching, both sonically and lyrically, combining dark, aggressive, and energetic moods into a cohesive and cinematic listening experience. It’s a definitive work of industrial rock and a bold creative milestone in Klayton’s expansive career.

Now Machines of Our Disgrace is available as a 2-disc vinyl, featuring the full original album and an entire second disc of original new songs and remixes from Sebastian Komor, The Anix, The Plague, Zardonic, and Voicians. It also features the new singles “Invisible World” and “Digital Messiah” showcasing Klayton returning to his early 1992 roots of the self-titled Circle Of Dust album, taking inspiration from “Technological Disguise” - a nod to his earlier work.

Released today with the pre-order announcement, “Invisible World” is a defiant anthem that launches listeners headfirst into a dark, dystopian industrial rebellion. The track delivers a high-octane blend of industrial metal, thrash, and gritty cybernetic rock. The single continues Circle of Dust’s legacy of genre-defiant sound design and razor-edged commentary, combining the aggressive pulse of industrial metal, the precision of thrash, and the dark energy that’s become the project’s signature. Longtime fans will find themselves back in familiar mechanical chaos, while new listeners will be slammed by the track’s fierce modern production and unrelenting pace. It’s a track that doesn’t ask questions, it kicks down the door.
