Circle Of Dust Releases Machines Of Our Disgrace (Definitive Edition) On 2-LP Vinyl
September 19, 2025
Artist News, Artist Press
Celldweller, Circle of Dust

Circle of Dust, the ‘90s industrial-metal project of artist/producer Celldweller, is back, releasing the anticipated 2-LP vinyl edition of Circle of Dust’s explosive 2016 comeback album, Machines of Our Disgrace 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 Releasing with the Vinyl is “Digital Messiah,” a relentless fusion of mechanical precision and raw aggression. Klayton’s signature blend of crushing riffs, glitch-laden electronics, and razor-sharp hooks creates a sonic assault that feels both futuristic and apocalyptic. Lyrically charged with themes of control, faith, and the rise of a false savior in a digital age, the track surges with urgency and atmosphere, perfect for fans of Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, and Celldweller. Its explosive chorus and cinematic breakdowns make it ideal for high-energy rock and metal playlists, while its cybernetic edge connects with synth-industrial and darkwave audiences. “Digital Messiah” isn’t just a song, it’s a statement, marking a powerful new chapter for Circle of Dust and primed to captivate both long-time fans and a new generation discovering the project for the first time.

The Browning Releases OMNI [ULTRA]
August 27, 2025
Artist News

“HIVEMIND” (Zardonic Remix)

OMNI [ULTRA] has arrived and is now available across all platforms from FiXT.

OMNI [ULTRA] features the original ten tracks of OMNI plus remixes from BIOHEX, Jonny McBee, Kaixo, OMNI [ULTRA] features the original ten tracks of OMNI plus remixes from BIOHEX, Jonny McBee, Kaixo, Kodeseven, Darksiderz, MACHINYST, and Zardonic, plus new single “OVERLORD” with SWARM and THE DEFECT. This upgraded two disc edition of their latest full-length creation is more than an album.  It’s a visceral descent into a futuristic fusion of deathcore, industrial, EDM, hardstyle, drum & bass, and rave metal laced with industrial textures, cybernetic rage, and raw emotional fire. 

https://youtu.be/QGyqxxQHylc

The original OMNI was a visceral journey through the depths of deathcore, featuring ten powerful tracks, including collaborations with Nik Nocturnal and THE DEFECT. The album showcased some of The Browning’s heaviest songs to date, like “HIVEMIND” and “Poison,” which together have amassed over 3.5 million streams across all digital platforms. “Deceiver,” the third release from the album brings a blistering critique of the deceitful narratives perpetuated by those in power. Accompanied by an adrenaline-fueled official music video, “Deceiver” blends the explosive energy of metalcore with the dark, mechanical undertones of industrial and the raw emotion of deathcore and its inspiration – the iconic delivery found in Rammstein’s “Du Hast.” The explosive single “OMNI” featuring THE DEFECT, which premiered at Revolver Mag, served as a harbinger of the album’s fierce energy. The album ends with the ominous double capstone of singles “Come To Grips With Death and the End” and “Soul Drift” which flip a complete 180 while still maintaining the fierce vocals with “Soul Drift” illustrating the very definition of rave metal.
