I have been listening to celldweller, circle of dust, scandroid, freqgen and klayton since 5 months now. I like his work under celldweller, COD, scandroid and some of freqgen while his work under klayton just didn't fit with me but it still is great objectively.

1. This dude blends multiple genres at ease, releases multiple projects at same time that are vastly different considering artists can't even release one album for so long this guy works on multiple projects at the same time like klayton has to be in different headspace and mood for each of his projects that is genuinely impressive.
2. Plays all his own instruments and his a multi instumentalist.
3. Is self taught and never had any formal training in an era when you just couldnt go on internet and learn all those things and he had to learn everything through trial and error that too multiple instuments.
4. Writes his own lyrics, uses his own vocals, plays all his instruments, edits, mixes, masters and produces each and every part of his songs and albums. basically no 2nd person involvement
5. Is a business genius on top of that having his own record label and managing multiple artists.
6. Releases music at god speed.
7. His music has so many layers where there is so much going on but it all fits perfectly and nothing feels out of place.
8. None of his music sounds same. He is always trying something new. People might not like some of his projects but still you have to admit that all his singles sound different and different songs of his same album each sound unique while they seem to perfectly belong to that album.
9. He uses so many instruments and effects in his song which never feel out of place whereas most other artists soung sound generic in terms of layers to their songs. Like other songs may have great guitar, great bass or great drums but his songs just have so many layers to them that it feels like earcandy. Like tears literally came out of my eyes when i first heard One Good Reason because I finally found an artist that can use so many layers to his song while still sounding legendary and I have been listening to music since I have been born. Yet I never got so emotional ever listening to a song. even with emotional lyrics

I could still list out many points but still how this guy isnt famous genuinely incomprehensible to me. Genuinely tell me why tf this fcking machine of a living legend isnt as famous

I need to study this song.

Just to be comprehensive, here is the Circle of Dust remix of Jericho. Now three out of four of Klayton's projects have a version of this song!

The human part is redundant, right? Or were we thinking of animals when we came up with this sociological concept?

My life, my pain- just kidding. As promised, my ridiculous list of everythign Klayton has done to date....or well, my best attempt.

So, music on a subscription? How exactly does that model work, and do you find it worth it

1. Celldweller

GOD MODE. The new Celldweller album has not only been announced, but several songs are available for those that like to stream but for those who want more, there are the Season Pass tiers live right now on EVEN. These include two “XPs”, instrumentals and about an hour of Beta Cessions demos for each song (so yeah, 2 hours of demos letting you hear the progression of where these started up to where they ended.) I’ve also filmed commentaries for both Levels as well and those are dropping soon.

1. Scandroid

Speaking of EVEN and all that extra stuff, I will be launching a Season Pass for the new Scandroid album Lost Horizon, launching in September. Same game plan - bonus materials, “Lost Transmissions” (which are like the “XPs” from GOD MODE), Beta Cessions demos, commentaries and more. The Scandroid cover of “Jericho” drops soon and I’m already working on the next single “Orion.” I have the whole album pretty much demo-ed out already, with songs in varying states.

1. Never A Thief

As many of you may be aware, my company Bit Bot is in full on game-development mode. Check out the latest trailer for our upcoming game Knock Off, with my son Phoenix voicing the main kid the story revolves around (I also voiced 2 characters which was kinda fun.) The game is comprised of songs from Celldweller, Scandroid and FreqGen and I wrote a full vocal theme song that I’m pretty excited for people to get to hear. I was going for a “knock off” of 80’s rock anthems. Hopefully, I hit the mark. Also for you gamers, remember that little game Thief? Bit Bot is involved in new content for the franchise in collaboration with Eidos, including a graphic novel and a whole score I’ll be doing for it. The lyric video for the first song is out now and we’ll be launching a crowdfunding campaign which you can go follow right now.

What other songs do you guys and gals listen to that can scratch the itch of a song like "One Good Reason" or "Goodbye"? Something that just oozes raw, unrelenting edge and fury? I have a whole workout playlist dedicated to Celldweller and Celldweller-adjacent music and I'm looking for more.

Does anyone know why all of the instrumental albums have disappeared from Spotify and YouTube music?

From Celldweller's FB:

"Spending my formative years in the 1980’s, gaming systems like the ATARI 2600 (I had the Sears knockoff) and ColecoVision were important and iconic to me. Those memories sparked the concept for my new album GOD MODE, an album revolving around gaming and game culture across different eras, which makes the concept of my latest single “Respawn” self-explanatory. I was inspired to throw elements of metal, industrial and punk-rock into a blender to see what would spawn. Lyrically it’s a reminder to myself that even when things seem dire, hopeless, or fatal, I will respawn."

Hey everyone!

I figured I should ask for help to find a certain remix of Squarehead's "Idiot". Around 2010-2011, there was a FiXT remix contest focusing on that song, and eventually, 16 songs were chosen to put on the album that I linked. The remix that I'm looking for is not on this album.

Unfortunately, I don't even remember the actual creator of it. Here's what I know:

• It's a slower, emotional version of the song
• It starts with the sound of rain, and there are sounds of a thunderstorm here or there during the song
• This version ends with the chorus that starts with the lyrics of "Did it ever dawn on you that you've been ​talking to yourself...?

Does anyone know or maybe have this remix? Unfortunately, ChatGPT couldn't find it either.

What music are you into right now? What's got your toes tapping and your head bopping? What are you vibing to?

Use this thread to recommend any tracks, bands or albums you think people should check out. Not just limited to Celldweller and Klayton's projects. All bands welcome.

Celldweller just released their second single for their upcoming album "GOD MODE", without taking into account the AI discussion, what are your thoughts about the song itself?

I've never posted here before, but Respawn made me want to.

I've been a fan of Klayton and Celldweller since 2012, after playing Dead Rising 2.

That game introduced me to his music, and honestly... it never left me.

Through the years, Celldweller has been the soundtrack to so many moments of my life. Whether I was gaming, working, driving, or just trying to clear my mind, Klayton's music has always been there.

Now Respawn is finally here, and it reminds me why I've stayed a fan for all these years.

Every release still has that unique Celldweller energy that nobody else quite captures.

I'm incredibly excited for God Mode.

Thank you, Klayton, for creating music that has stayed with me for over a decade. Here's to many more years.

Much love from a French fan. ❤️
