Circle of Dust - Neophyte

Purchase/Stream 'Machines of Our Disgrace':

Machines of Our Disgrace marks the 5th full-length studio album for industrial music pioneer Circle of Dust, after a near 20 year hiatus. Created by artist/producer Klayton, best known for his multi-genre project Celldweller, Circle of Dust returns to Klayton’s industrial roots with metal riffs, pulsing electronics and catchy songwriting.

Klayton pushes the envelope of fusing modern metal and electronic production with gritty industrial noise & samples on Machines of Our Disgrace, while incorporating both aggressive and melodic vocals with thought provoking lyrics about man’s technological evolution. Songs like “Contagion” and the title track “Machines of Our Disgrace” question our relationship with technology while “alt_Human” and “Neurachem” explore the world of biohacking and genetic modification. The tracks “Hive Mind” and “Humanarchy” provide commentary on man’s place in modern society’s political and scientific moral ambiguity. The emotionally charged “Outside In” shows Klayton’s softer side in a heart-gripping track with lush harmonies, acoustic guitars, pulsing sound design and introspective lyrics.

Machines of Our Disgrace is the album fans have been waiting for the last 20 years and is sure to stand as one of Klayton’s crowning achievements. In anticipation of a brand new album, Klayton remastered and re-released the entire Circle of Dust back-catalogue in 2016, featuring the albums Circle of Dust (self-titled), Brainchild, Metamorphosis, Disengage and a side project titled Argyle Park, each originally released in the 90s.

An old vision to replace
A new knowledge to embrace
You will ascend
Until the end
For this is your beginning
Neophyte!

Love how this song is "Buzzaw" (Celldweller demo from 2004) and like a modern version of Nightfall from first Circle of Dust album💙

Definition of Neophyte:
1. A new convert to a religion: See also, Proselyte
2. A Novice
3. A beginner in a new subject: See also, Tyro

Looking up word definitions so you don't have to. In this context and other contexts used in Klaytons music the "Neophyte" is a new religious convert.

Best purchase I've made all year. I tell you, it isn't easy being the only atheist in a family of Mormons, but this song never fails to pull me out of the doldrums.

WIPING ALL THE DUST OUT of THE CIRCLE of MUSIC MAKING

[Brian-rxsp]

Speaking as a person who isn't a big fan of COD beyond a few tracks, this doesn't really sound that much like a COD track to me. It sounds like a slightly heavier Celldweller track, which is probably why I really like it.

[m.s.dimass]

Мне кажется...
Или я ЕДИНСТВЕННЫЙ здесь русский?




Кстати, песня чёткая! Могу целыми днями нажимать кнопку рестарта!

[ChuckSunshine]

My soundtrack to the new dark ages! Circle of Dust is back, and just in time!

[adaisychainazathoth]

hoped for a lyric video for this song, but honestly the hive mind lyric video did it for me :p
