The Machinations of Dementia is the debut album by the instrumental progressive metal band Blotted Science, released September 18, 2007 on guitarist Ron Jarzombek's EclecticElectric label. It was issued in Japan on June 22, 2011 via Marquee/Avalon.[1]

The album had been in the making since 2005 but progress stalled when original drummer Chris Adler had to bow out due to commitments with his band Lamb of God; his successor, Derek Roddy (ex-Nile, Hate Eternal), left over "musical differences" after a six-month tenure.

According to Ron Jarzombek, "75 percent"[2] of The Machinations of Dementia was written utilizing the 'Circle of 12 Tones', derived from the Twelve-tone technique pioneered by Austrian-born composer Arnold Schoenberg in the 1920s.
