Klayton of Circle of Dust is back, and he’s stitched together a track that defies convention. “Neophyte” began with a long-forgotten riff—haunting his hard drive for over a decade. Described as having a Trouble / Black Sabbath vibe, the riff carried its own melody and lyrics that Klayton refused to let go.
Though the section bears little resemblance to the rest of the track musically, it makes perfect sense in the mad scientist mind of its creator. “I’ve always enjoyed crafting musical journeys that feel like actual journeys,” Klayton explains. “Consistency be damned—my natural instinct is to mash disparate styles into one cohesive, chaotic whole.”
This is more than a song. It’s a genre-bending odyssey, lovingly described by Klayton as a “tiny song-home” kicked into the world for others to inhabit—even just for a moment.
🗣 “I truly appreciate any of you that have willingly decided to live in one of my musical homes, neophyte or seasoned veteran alike.” – Klayton

🔗 Deep Dive into the Universe of Daedric & Circle of Dust:
Originally discarded, “Callous” rises from the ashes—reimagined, reengineered, and emotionally raw.
⚡ A Second Chance at Life
Daedric’s newest single, “Callous,” was almost left behind on the cutting room floor. First written in just 20 minutes back in 2021, the track felt dated and disconnected from the band’s evolving vision. But instead of abandoning it, Daedric did something bold—they tore it apart and rebuilt it entirely.
The result? A modernized version of “Callous” that pulses with atmospheric electronics and powerful dual vocals, perfectly aligning with the rest of their dark, cinematic soundscapes.
💔 Cold on the Outside, Bleeding on the Inside
Lyrically, “Callous” plunges into themes of betrayal, emotional abandonment, and revenge. The title reflects the illusion of indifference—punishing someone while secretly harboring pain. The dual vocals represent an inner conflict, almost like arguing with your own reflection in the mirror.
It’s not just a song—it’s a confrontation with heartbreak itself.

🌐 Deep Dive into the Universe of Circle of Dust & Celldweller:
Izzy Reign’s journey into music wasn’t born out of convention or industry expectations—it was a calling, a necessary act of self-expression that almost never happened. The first spark ignited when she saw Enter Shikari’s music video for “Sorry You’re Not a Winner,” a moment that set her on the path to forming a band and stepping onto a stage. But becoming the artist she is today? That came much later, through a different kind of battle—one fought in therapy rooms between 2023 and 2024. It was there she learned to strip away the fear, to embrace the discomfort of true creative freedom. No more molding herself to fit industry standards. No more second-guessing what she was “supposed” to do. She was finally able to create exactly what she needed to, no matter how different or unconventional it seemed.
Her influences are just as unexpected. While many would assume her sound is shaped solely by metal, her creative DNA includes Imogen Heap’s atmospheric innovation, the pulsing energy of Eiffel 65 and late ‘90s techno, and the bold genre-defying presence of Missy Elliott. They all left their mark, weaving together into the raw, emotionally charged music she now brings to life in metal.
Doubt has never been a stranger. It lingers in the background every day, whispering reasons to stop, to hesitate. But Izzy has learned to ignore it. “Do it anyway,” she tells herself. Life is temporary, and there’s no sense in holding back. The music industry didn’t erase her insecurities, but it did teach her to keep pushing forward, to grow both in her craft and within the ever-expanding community that now defines her.
Her latest work isn’t just about sound—it’s a message. A reminder that no one is alone. That mental health matters. That empathy is everything. Life’s struggles don’t have to mean the end, and it’s okay to not be okay. But finding a way to navigate those struggles, to seek help, is just as vital.
Staying true to her artistic vision means ignoring the idea of balance entirely. There is no calculated strategy to meet expectations or industry trends. Izzy writes from experience, crafting songs that reflect her own life in ways others can relate to. Connection is the only goal, the only expectation.
Collaboration is on the horizon, but so far, her journey has been a largely solo endeavor. That’s changing soon, and she’s ready to dive into creative partnerships that push boundaries even further. Signing with FiXT has already proven to be a turning point—not just for the opportunities it brings but for the community it offers. That, above all else, has been the most exciting part of the partnership.
When she’s not creating, Izzy finds solace in streaming on Twitch three times a week, connecting with fans in real time. She’s also a self-proclaimed nature addict, happiest when surrounded by trees, camping under the stars, or adding yet another plant to her already overgrown collection.
Despite her fearless stage presence, every performance is a battle against anxiety. The fear never fades. The nerves never go away. But that doesn’t stop her. She does it anyway. Forces herself onto the stage, into the moment—and once she’s there, she loves it.
The future is a blur of controlled chaos. There are no limits, no neat genre boxes. Fans can expect even more unexpected twists in her upcoming projects—more boundary-pushing, more unpredictability. Five years from now, she doesn’t just see a career. She sees a massive, thriving community. Not just fans, but people who uplift and inspire each other, who recognize their own worth. Music is just the vehicle. The mission is so much bigger.
As the industry shifts with the rise of AI and evolving technology, Izzy remains unfazed. Creativity has always thrived on tools, whether they’re instruments, production techniques, or even artificial intelligence. As long as the heart of music remains intact, innovation will never be a threat.
Beyond music, her ultimate goal is simple but profound: to make people feel seen. To remind them they are loved. And whether that’s through a song, a message, or simply existing as herself, she plans to do exactly that—for as long as she has breath.
