"Before Celldweller there was Circle of Dust, my ’90s industrial-metal project. For any of you familiar with my current projects (Celldweller, Scandroid, FreqGen), you can hear the origins of my production and songwriting styles in those early Circle of Dust albums. Although I put the project to rest in 1997 I resurrected it in 2015 and with 20+ more years of experience under my belt decided to write a brand new album – Machines of Our Disgrace." — Klayton

Lyrics:
Paralyzing elixir of contempt
Overriding sobriety's attempt
A narcissism
We so eagerly embrace
Smile as we assemble
The machines of our disgrace

Submission
Without a fight
Corrosion
Mind parasite

Metastasizing
In such a willing host
The real disease
Has been misdiagnosed
Dehumanizing
And difficult to face
We've built our own destruction
The machines of our disgrace

"The people surrendered their liberties, and threw away their human dignity"

"You arrived here at a critical moment"
"Galaxy M12, year 2116"

"I heard you were rather famous on earth"
"Well, I see my fame has reached the stars"
"Then let me give you a bit of advice: here, among the stars, it is better not to be quite so cocky"

"Government of the people, by the people, for the people"

"Shall not perish, from the earth"
"They gave up their rights as individual human beings"
