CIRCLE OF DUST - FULL CIRCLE: THE BIRTH, DEATH & REBIRTH OF CIRCLE OF DUST (DOCUMENTARY)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ธ.ค. 2019
- The untold story of the essential, genre-defying ‘90s industrial project Circle of Dust. Explore the early career of visionary artist, composer, musician and producer Klayton, who would later gain recognition for his category transcending project Celldweller.
Assembled from over 30 interviews and dozens of hours of VHS footage from Klayton’s personal archive, get access to never-before-released videos & stories on the history of Circle of Dust. Journey back to Circle of Dust’s inception, the signing of Klayton’s first record deal, assembly of a live band, subsequent legal battles and eventual dissolution of Circle of Dust in 1998, to the formation and independent success of Celldweller. The story ultimately comes full circle, with the resurrection of Circle of Dust in 2015.
Descend into the history of Circle of Dust, spanning over two decades, for an exclusive behind the scenes look at each album, starting with the debut Self-Titled album (1992/1995), Brainchild (1992/1994), Metamorphosis remix album (1993) and Disengage (1998), culminating with Machines of Our Disgrace (2016).
With over 2.5 hours of bonus footage, including live VHS bootlegs, a mini-documentary featuring Klayton’s collaborative side project Argyle Park, an in-studio expose on the gear and production of Circle of Dust, lyric and music videos, Full Circle is a testament to Klayton’s enduring vision, creativity, and persistence.

From basement dweller to Celldweller
You being here is a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
*Basemendweller
Wow synapse
its totally a Telltale Crime (real life horror story) that will give small children bad dreams...
Celldweller came from his mom calling him her cellar dweller.
Never forget Klayton's beautiful long hair.
Still looks cool ! But yeah what a hair that was !!! At list he did not lost his gift his talent he is the MAN
I like the comment at the very end of documentary: "Unauthorized reproduction of this recording is strictly prohibited by Federal Law but that probably won't stop you anyway" ;)
By the way, they put that line onto every physical release or pdf booklet :D
@@CyberCat333 I've noticed that over time and it always gets a good chuckle from me.
He is quite aware of how the internet works.
@@AllianaCordova Ever since the release of Soundtrack for the Voices of my Head volume 1, hahaha
Old CoD Klayton lookin' like an Aztec God of fitness.
Talk about a walk down memory lane. I interned at REX in the early 90's while in college. I got to work with Tyler , Alex and Amy. I was at the adat fail show. Still to this day one of the most memorable shows. A circle fan to this day. As are my friends that I turned on to Circle. Thank you.
Wow holy shit 👏
When is Celldweller Documentary coming? Because this was amazeballs!
probably when Klayton retires as CellDweller and just focuses on his Record Label 😊
I mean, that's basically this
There’s been a small one on his live tour or part of it and for the end of an empire as well too
1:15:50, THAT'S ME!!! Haha! I'm glad I am part of the documentary. Thank you, Klayton. God bless you. :)
mee tooooo!!!! How unreal is that?
I needed CoD when I was in high school. Now I'm in my 40's and in these strange days I need them again.
I am so glad I got to see COD live in Dallas Texas in 94 at a place called the Engine Room. Klay was so cool too. They were scheduled last minute to play two nights in a row, I drove like 100 miles to get there in a borrowed truck the first night and they cancelled the show because the venue wasn't going to let them do a sound check. I stood there on the sidewalk outside and BS'd with Klay, drilling with all kinds of production questions and he helped me out with great answers, truly helped set the course for me musically and even more for live shows. He gave me a COD sticker too which was so cool. I drove back the next night to see the show and it was just awesome \m/
Pure gratitude. I cannot say enough.
Thank you Sir Klayton
I was born in 1994. The new album was my first experience of Circle of Dust. And now CoD is in my top 5 artists along with Celldweller and Scandroid. Klayton, you are my greatest inspiration.

1:11:10 Outro / credits / Circle of Dust fans videos
Just wanted to say that disengage was an album that shaped my music taste. I love celldweller but circle of dust was groundbreaking. Seems like angel dust should be mentioned. Thanks for 25 great years of music.
This makes the earlier Ask Celldweller episodes make much more sense. I only became a fan around a year ago, so seeing all this stuff surrounding CoD was slightly confusing. Not sure how likely it is, but if you ever do make another CoD album (with Dust to Dust a part of it of course) and it continues off where Machines of our Disgrace does, I'll be here.
Also super hyped for Satellites so far. Into the Void has been one of my hype songs ever since its release.
My wife bought me the Celldweller original album by mistake for Christmas one year, and it was the best mistake gift ever. I had never heard of Klayton's music prior to that album, but have enjoyed every bit since then. Keep rocking!
I think its adorable how artists hate being labeled. Circle of Dust "isn't" Industrial... riiiight. And Sisters of Mercy isn't Goth Rock either. That said... this stuff was ahead of it's time, really. I've been a casual fan since the 90's, rediscovered a couple of years ago, and now my son and I are mega fans. CoD is now generational... how's that for making us feel old?
Для того, кто сделал русские субтитры есть огромный коттедж с огромным троном стоящим посреди огромного райского сада в райском раю. Спасибо!
Ха-ха, от такого коттеджа я не откажусь. Спасибо!
Thanks sooo much for this amazing gift! That was simply great. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Klay and all the FiXT guys!
Отдельное спасибо тем прекраснейшим людям, которые напилили русские субтитры - дай Бог вам здоровья и щастья, ребят!
Чёрт, если бы не ты я бы не узнал что они есть)
@@Watcher1011 пожалуйста ^^
Спасибо за спасибо! :D Рад, что сабы несут пользу в массы.
❤️
This was great!. You've been a part of my musical environment since 1993, and have never left it. Thanks for the gift of your awesome music.
Since 1993? How old are you now?
@@thmahnd I'm in my mid 40's, I saw CoD a dozen or so times in the early-mid 90's. I was at some of the shows in the footage here. Always amazing shows, the video footage just doesn't do justice :)
THis is so great!! And there I am at 1:13:51 Thanks Klayton! You know how to satisfy your fans!!! I wish I could tell my 90's self about this! He'd be so stoked!!!
My full clip: th-cam.com/video/L_GZ9pPSLKA/w-d-xo.html
I was at that Florida show at Club Detroit. I had never heard C.O.D. before that night. There are no words to describe the vibe at that show. I've been a fan ever since. I have become friends with Daren aka Klank. Circle of Dust is truly one of the greatest bands I've ever seen or heard! I still crank the albums...AT FULL VOLUME!
btw, I've been praying for this to happen for a very long time. Godspeed!
Krasniy! thanks for the russian subtitles!!
It wasn't Klay, it was us, who made subtitles. Russian fans. :)
Dude. Metal hair Klayton.
I was at the first Cornerstone show. So far ahead of their time. Amazing.
So glad I found this. It brings back so many memories. I was at that show in Tampa in the little hole in the wall. I remember Klayton introduced himself to me and I had no idea who he was. I was like whoa, sorry dude, I had no idea what you look like. He was cool about it though. Good times. I'm still a huge Circle Of Dust fan.
Thanks! Умеешь делать подарки к новому году!
I love the new Circle of Dust album Machines of Our Disgrace so much. Been listening to all your projects since the late 90's, when I first discovered your sound. I so hope you don't quit or give up on this project. I want more, we all want more!
Awesome doc! I stumbled across Circle of Dust back in 1994. I was wandering through Camelot Music (remember music stores?) and I spotted Brainchild on the rack and thought it looked cool, and the name sounded cool, and I looked on the back and the song titles all sounded badass, so I took a chance and bought it sound unheard. And when I listened to it, it blew my mind open wide, and that album, along with the self-title, have been a massive influence on me ever since!
Seeing younger non red haired long haired Klay is great xD
Amo sus canciónes que si algún día en la vida me consigo a este señor le doy un abrazo 🫂
Ojalá conocer a Klay algún día, es un genio y creo que el artista mas talentoso que he oído
I wish I had a credit card to buy your stuff and support you. Guess TH-cam will do. You're awesome Klayton.
Visa gift cards seem to work well, looking forward to the new album as well
I was at that show when the adat (sp?) machine failed. I was soooo excited to see you play. I know you say it was the worst, but it's still one of the best shows ever. it's a CORE memory for me.
Keep coming back to this because this is amazing
6:32 is really adorable istg
Wow what a great chistmas gift ! That documentary was a blast, love Circle Of Dust, Celldweller and Scandroid. I'm a huge fan of your music and your approach of making music.
Cheers from France !
Forgot FreqGen lol
Just watching this 4 years after it came out. I want more Circle of Dust!!
Maybe I was a little late with my opinion. But I want to say a few words, as guys at the end of documentary. My favorite song from Circle of Dust is "Rational lies". This thing just blows my mind. Always. But I like listening to the song in old concert recordings even more. Because the sound is more aggressive, dirtier or something, than on the record. And it gave charm. Uuuh, just fantastic!
Same but with Argyle Park, that project blows my mind, like the first song Klay made for AP was a cover that had nothing to do with its original song lol and sounds amazing, so raw, so industrial, "Drive she said" and later became "The Communist Masters of Decit"
I love Argyle Park
At list circa 1996/97 I got to “print “ CIRCLE OF DUST “ tshirts what an honor it was…. I still have the eagle looking logo on my leather jacket.
I am a Brazilian American true fan of Circle of dust and all klayton music
Brainchild Mindwarp was on repeat during my play through of Alien 3 for the Sega Genesis back in '92. I remember getting lost in it all and realizing that the game was over. Props to the COD/Celldweller days, but that Mindwarp album really kicked ass!!!
I love this! A couple of years ago I did an informative speech on the life of Klayton for a class and it was so hard to find the information that is now easily accessible in this video.
Absolutely amazing!
What surprised me is that you got Mr. Mann to interview.
Happy Metallic Christmas
thank you Klayton!!!
Who here is an O.G. Circle of Dust fan and used to post in the Flaming Fish chat rooms in the 90's & early 00's under "New York Posse" about all things Klayton, Circle of Dust, Level, Klank, Argyle Park, CHATTERbOX and the myriads of small connections to other bands like The Way Sect Bloom and Rivot etc.???
16:43 clever edit of your real name 😏
Amazing to see this!! Brainchild was one of my absolute favorite albums ever back in the 90s. I wore my cassette out lol. I was super inspired by that album and circle of dust for my own music endeavors. Thanks for this!
I've been a fan since the first show at Cornerstone Festival! That was where I saw my first pair of Docs and I had to have a black pair. I was then the first kid in school to have a pair and all the preppy jocks picked on me for wearing "combat boots". Then the following year all of those same preppy jocks were wearing Docs because since they were wearing them, it was then cool. I did a speech about the Brainchild album and led off with 'Deviate'. Those kids didn't know what hit them! No one understood it and I was fine with that. I was always one to go across the grain. CoD, Brainchild and Metamorphosis were life changing albums for me! It was awesome to get my Metamorphosis CD signed by Living Sacrifice also.
Thanks so much for posting this Klay! Thought I might never get to watch it. I'm not done watching yet, but this has inspired me to make some music of my own on a new setup I recently got and solidified the idea that for new years, since we're going into a new decade, I should post a video all about my shorter but maybe still interesting story in music, to look back on what this decade has brought me (since most of my big progress has been in this decade) and to look forward on what I want to do and generally what the future might hold. Cheers to the new decade!
Holy cow, Klayton is a beast... I want to start playing a guitar , but I have absolutely no way to start...
damn man thats great documentory. Im too young to witness you at start of your career, but what you come to is very magnificent. I like industrial and i love Circle of Dust
Wow! this is some seriously interesting background- and to think I discovered Celldweller and Circle seperately, it took awhile for me to realize they were the same talented dude haha! I love all the songs, but I think the debut CoD is still my favorite
Respect from Russia! 😍👍
I know what to watch now instead of a movie 😏 Oh, hell, it is also kinda documentary movie 😅
my pen name is Steve Dustcircle.
ahh, Klayton, you've done some living, my friend.
What a great christmas gift! I wasn't even alive when CoD startet and I only caught up to it when the new album was released and I was like "huh, this celldweller guy did some interesting stuff". I loved the new album and got hooked on disengage as well. The other old albums haven't quite gotten to me yet, but I'm sure they will.
“Everything we do matters”. Metamorphosis was my first exposure to CoD!!!!!!
Klayton, Это потрясающее документальное повествование! Оно передало всё, что ты ,Клэй, пропуспил через свою Душу.
Это и яркое истинное Вдохновение твоё, побуждающее созидать воистину неповторимый синтез многих музыкальных жанров и направлений.
Это и радость успеха на сцене, чувство значимости для многих людей, ощущение популярности и любви к твоему творчеству. Огонь во всех смыслах!
Это и чувство Боли и Душевного падения в период бюрократических разборок, которые ты не мог контролировать. И как больно ,когда такую талантливость и уникальный креативный ум просто превращают в Прах :_(
Опрокидывают проект, отбивют всякое желание возвращатьмя к нему и оставляют при этом огромную кастрюлю дёгтя в душе, напоминающую о тяжёлом периоде творчества .
Правило в нашей вселенной такое - хочешь добиваться определенных целей и делать так ,как желаешь - Делай это сам.
И Клейтон , чёрт побери ,ты это сделал!
Ты возродился из Праха ,словно Феникс!
Воистину сильнвй дух и желание творить и творить вновь ,не смотря ни на какие преграды!
Мне очень понравилось, как ты,Клей , очень точно осмыслил весь свой путь:
"Как корабль назовёшь, так он и поплывёт"
Circle of Dust- Круг (область) Тлена (пыли, праха)
Был и прах ,из которого Клей воскресс
И замкнулся и Круг его творчества.
Клейтона слова : " У меня была Мечта - проект CoD, Возможность осуществить её и потом Покончить с ней. И вот снова я снова вернулся к ней и Круг этой истории Замкнулся!"
Офигенно! Полюбил, люблю и буду любить твоё творчество ,Клейтон!
Огромное спасибо за неповторимые эмоции, музыка помогет в трудные времена и даёт силы и мотивацию на новые решительные действия, а это воистинну уникальный талант!
Вдохновения, Терпения ,и море Позитива тебе ,Клей!
Да прибудет с тобой Сила!
Еба выдал
stumble on this by accident,,,, So nostalgic woooooowwwww thanks!!! early 1990s kid here....
A C.O.D. fan since 94' I only recently came across the anniversary edition of the original on itunes. The remix just sounds amazing. Definitely one of those "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!" moments! 😆
I learned about Circle of Dust the moment you released the remastered version of it. I fell in love with it and I still listen to all of it daily to this day.
I was aware of Celldweller existing, but I wasn't aware of other projects. The way I discovered Celldweller is kinda funny, another musician called ZeBlaZeD, added me to friends on steam and one day, while I was playing payday 2 he asked me about a remix of his which was a remix of one of your celldweller songs, I said that it was really fitting to payday 2 gameplay... and after a short while I got curious about how the originals sound like. The "End of an Empire" got me hooked. So here I am to this day. And I have listened to all of Klayton's albums. Industrial music is... generational. Definitely. It's never a bad idea to sample until it slaps. My jam.
This is the best gift for Christmas! Marry Christmas Klayton and everyone!
yes klayton!!!! im excited to see this man.
Awesome upload, really love this documentry of my favourite artist!
That was awesome. Thx Krasniy, we love u
This documentary made my day! Thanks Klay.
bought a COD record off BMG or Columbia house (first album).. Great album ..they had that edge we're it was different than other artists considered 'industrial metal" ... just an mix of guitar and synth ...., distinct sound .... thanks for the DOC .
Best documentary ever. Hope you have a merry christmas.
Bought the DVD last year🤘🏼
I still have my Circle of Dust hockey jersey that I got at a show in Elgin, IL.
I was working from home today, and just sort of got lucky to see that was premiering after lunch.
It was really interesting to see what was happening in the background while all this great music was being created. As someone who found and loved this music later on, it was very cool to see the life cycle and rebirth of Circle of Dust.
Thank you for making this!
Loved watching this documentary ^-^
disengage was my first cassette album I heard. I got scared
I have the early albums. The original and re-issue. Also the brainchild album. Even have the original argyle park. Been listening for years. Great to see circle of dust getting more known
I really enjoyed watching this, it's great to finally hear about the ups and downs and the rebirth.
Also love finally being able to put names to faces. :)
I’m from Michigan and a buddy turned me onto Circle back in ‘95. I was a sophomore and was REALLY into thrash and heavy shit. I don’t know who turned him onto them but what That dude said about not having the I
internet and how this kind of thing spreads word of mouth intrigued me. I didn’t even know it was a one man band until tonight. Lol. Loved Brainchild. Listen to it all the time to this day. Deviates guitar solo is fucking epic. My buddy was a NIN, Ministry, Front 242 guy. I was a Slayer, Machine Head, Obituary guy. Hence……Circle of Dust. 😂
good to see this. the Brainchild record is the reason i even started writing music way back in jr high.
Thanks so much for sharing this! My first ever industrial metal concert that I attended was CoD show at Cornerstone 1992.
We all love you Clayton circle of dust will always live God bless you you for everything that you stand for you stand for integrity passion inspiration boldness meekness and endurance perseverance and you sir are a MASTERMIND!!!!!!
This is amazing. Thanks so much for making and sharing this!
Pretty psyched about this. Been waiting 20 years to hear about circle of dust history and the reasons why it ended back in the 90s. Would love to see an Argyle Park documentary if enough footage is available.
Amazing stuff and documentary, I really enjoyed it. I didnt even know anything about Circle of Dust tbh... know that I know about it, I love it even more!
oh boy here we go! im commenting before i watch cuz im so excited.
Brainchild = 1994 = in Brazil = major major influence - thanks Klayton
I love this documentary, hope to see one of Celldweller or Scandroid in a future^^
Oh.. I noticed some live footage from 2003-2004 that isn't on the Internet, so when are we going to see it? (:
hopefully one day
This was an amazing watch. Thank you for returning full circle and embracing your creations.
Always record stuff. So much awesome history preserved!
Thank you for all this Klay!!
I'd like to thank you for this. It gave me a whole new perspective of you as an artist and a new appreciation for what you had to go through to get to where you are.
Absolutely superb documentary! Loved all the music, clips and interviews!
Very informative and good doco - kudos to Klayton and the crew for sticking this through to where they are now.
Eye came in late! will eye be able to resee this again, from the begining?
Great Xmas gift! Thank you!
Best Christmas ever man. You've outdone yourself here Klay. I always wondered what went on begind the scenes in circle of dust. Well now I know. Thanks man. Also merry Christmas.
I'm ready. 😍🤟🏼
Thanks. This is a great story.
Let's GO!
Is it just me or are they really going out of their way not to mention Cornerstone by name? Among other details that have been cleverly glossed over. When I met this young fella years ago he had a different name even.
My hype is prepared! How is yours?
This is so great story, like a full film. Started to watch 5 min and didn't notice the end already. So I was right that Klayton outstripped time on 90th - brilliant music combination.
p.s. I found out about COD only 5 years ago and fell in love. I couldn't imagine how did start this band... Amazing history about grand creator.
p.s.s. Thanks for rus subs. Watched in origin, but subs perfect ^_^
I love this so much. My favorite songs are Mesmerized and Blindeye
I bought this on Google Play a few months back. What I would like to see either on Google Play, or if not here on TH-cam is the mini doc on Argyle Park that was for the special edition of the physical release. It would be much appreciated🙏👍 thank you!✌
thanks!!! it's just great !!! you are the best Klayton!!!
