Circle of Dust formed from the ashes of Immortal, a Metallica influenced thrash band.
I actually had that version but wanedt this Circle of Dust version instead, as that is what it really is. I'm not sure why Scott Albert, or whatever he is calling himself these days, decided to release it under a different name.
This would be the last album released under the Circle of Dust moniker for a few years because of problems with defunct label R.E.X. Both these first two discs are out of print and sell for an average of $25 on ebay.
