11 Great Things In Metal This Week (11th Dec)

11. Circle Of Dust - Machines Of Our Disgrace

Kicking this week's list off is veteran industrial metallers Circle of Dust, who released their long-awaited fifth album, Machines of Our Disgrace, this Friday.

In the world of rock n' roll, the term "long-awaited" in reference to albums is overused. But it's justified here since Machines of Our Disgrace is Circle...'s first album in nearly 20 freakin' years!

The last time we heard from the American quintet was in 1998, when they unveiled their Disengage record. But based upon the aggression and energy of Machine of Our Disgrace, it doesn't feel like Circle of Dust has aged a day. If you're a fan of industrial rockers from Fear Factory to Marilyn Manson to PAIN, this is something more than worth your time.
