Genre:Heavy Industrial
Circle of Dust was a mid-1990s heavy metal/industrial band in the Ministry mold created and run by Scott Albert who is now famous for his solo band Celldweller.
The band spawned numerous offspring projects, primarily lead by both Klay and his lead guitarist, Darren “Klank” Diolosa, including Klank, Angeldust (with Criss Angel later released as the Mindfreak Trilogy), Argyle Park, and Chatterbox.
Circle of Dust was popular in Christian circles during most of the 1990s, even though Klay Scott broke up the band in 1995. After their breakup, Klay released one
“last” album, Disengage. 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 but all music was released under Criss Angel:Mindfreak Trilogy), as well as various photographs hinting at feeling rejected by
churches. Circle of Dust was criticized by some Christians for not having religious enough lyrics, while other Christians criticized the music for being too chaotic.
While there have been many other Christian bands involved in similar controversies, Circle of Dust was often considered to be one of the most controversial.
The first release was an indie demo tape of all things under the title:
