Brainchild (Circle of Dust album)
Encyclopedia
Brainchild is the 1994 second album by Industrial Metal
band Circle Of Dust
. Originally, the album was released as Brainchild - Mindwarp. But R.E.X. Records demanded Klay Scott make a second Circle of Dust album. But there wasn't enough money to make another album, so R.E.X. re-released the album as Circle of Dust - Brainchild, now considered the second Circle Of Dust album.
The song "Telltale Crime" is the only Circle of Dust song that has a music video.
The video includes the band's live musicians, Daren "Klank" Diolosa (of Klank
) and Klay's brother Dan Levler (of LVL). In 2010, HM Magazine ranked it #37 on the Top 100 Christian metal albums of all time list with Doc stating that "Without a doubt, this is one of the coolest techno/industrial hybrid metal releases ever. Paradoxically, it was the relative presence of a song structure and memorable groove that really distinguished this release from other 'noisier' entries within the genre."
