Eastern European band Raizer kicks off 2018 with this intense remix of Circle of Dust’s "Outside In." Delivering Raizer's futuristic sound of fusing EDM with rock, they’ve kicked up the electronic programming and created an upbeat version of the sentimental track. Sharpening their skills of drum & bass with heavy guitars, the mix showcases how their sound has developed since their debut album, "We Are The Future", was released on FiXT in early 2017. The remix will appear on Circle of Dust's upcoming full-length "Machines of Our Disgrace" remix album. Check out the song HERE.


New York rock band The Plague deliver an intense remix of Circle of Dust's "Embracing Entropy" (feat. Celldweller), as frontman and writer/producer David Adam Monroe re-vamps the entire track, more akin to a cover than a remix. Re-recording and re-producing all the primary instruments, from guitars and bass to drums and synths, the track transforms from an electronic opus to an aggressive onslaught.

"When I got asked to do this remix, I was blown away. Celldweller and FiXT were a huge influence on me making 'The Plague' record, so it was incredible honor to work on this Cirle of Dust remix.  I loved a lot of the drum phrases in the original so I tried to preserve some of them, and of course slap on some fuzz guitars!” - The Plague

When the album "Machines of Our Disgrace", released in 2016, the first new album from Circle of Dust in nearly 20 years, many believed this to be a one-time return for Klayton to release under the moniker. Now in late 2017, "Dust to Dust," marks the first new single from Circle of Dust's forthcoming 6th full-length, yet to be titled, studio-album.

"Dust to Dust", continues where Machines of Our Disgrace left off, as a modern industrial assault of thrash metal riffs, cryptic audio samples, aggressive vocals, blasting beats and memorable hooks.

"Dust to Dust began as a simple guitar-tone experiment. As I was messing around with guitar tones, I hearkened back to a bunch of my fav old school thrash tracks and I just started spitting out riffs. I knew after a few minutes this wouldn’t end as production experiment but live on as a new Circle of Dust track." - Klayton (Circle of Dust)

For nearly two decades CIRCLE OF DUST has inspired fans and fellow artists of the industrial music scene.  Founded by Klayton - who is most well-known for his project Celldweller and owning the independent record label FiXT - CIRCLE OF DUST began his experimentation with melding sci-fi inspired industrial and electronic-rock, a sound that he has since become known for mastering.  It is with great excitement that CIRCLE OF DUST has teamed up with Loudwire for the exclusive premiere of his new track “Contagion,” the first piece of new music to be released in nearly 20 years.  Listen to “Contagion” HERE.

The debut of “Contagion” comes with the news that CIRCLE OF DUST will be re-releasing remastered versions of all five previously released albums, each featuring bonus material, new tracks, and more.  This sequence of releases will all happen in 2016, capping off with a completely brand new CIRCLE OF DUST album, to be released in December of this year. 

The first re-issue is of the self-titled debut album, ‘Circle Of Dust,’ which will be out on March 4, 2016 via FiXT.  Originally released in 1992, the entire album was created using a Mac Classic with 1mb of system RAM and a 40mb hard drive along with an Ensoniq EPS 16+ mono sampler. The album has been meticulously remastered with modern sonic precision, improving upon the sound of the original tracks.  Additionally, the album features nearly an hour of bonus material including a rare acoustic version of "Onenemy," raw  4-track cassette demos, and a series of unreleased songs, demos and b-sides simply titled - "Dust." Pre-Orders for the self-titled re-release are available now via iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and the FiXT web store HERE.
