Description: | Celldweller is a Detroit, Michigan-based Electronic Rock project that was created by multi-instrumentalist Klayton who was a former frontman and songwriter for the bands Circle of Dust, Argyle Park and Angeldust (with Criss Angel). Celldweller's music is multi-faceted, often labeled Electronic Rock and more commonly being described as a combination of Rock and Trance for his earlier works[3] and as Metalstep for his more recent works. Celldweller songs have frequently appeared in movies, trailers, television shows, and video games. Wish Upon a Blackstar era (2009–present) Writing and recording for the second Celldweller album has been underway since 2004. Originally slated to come out in the summer of 2006, the album has been delayed numerous times. In March 2009 Klayton announced that the title of the album is Wish Upon a Blackstar. Of 50 songs, he has narrowed it down to the 10 that will comprise the album. In a blog post on his website, he elaborated on wanting to release the album in 'Chapters' with each Chapter consisting of 2 songs. In April 2009 Klayton revealed the tracks Wish Upon a Blackstar would contain, and has also stated that many of the leftovers will be on the second volume of The Beta Cessions. As of early 2012, four of the five Chapters of Wish Upon a Blackstar have been released, with the remaining Chapter set to be released on June 12, 2012. During the recording of Wish Upon a Blackstar, Klayton also began work on his follow-up to Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head Vol. 1. Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head Vol. 2 will be released in the same manner as Wish Upon a Blackstar: as handfuls of tracks are completed, Chapters of the full album will be released digitally until the full collection is complete and the album is released on physical media. Chapter 01 of SVH Vol. 2 featured four songs, including a 20 minute ambient piece (a first for Celldweller). Additionally, a Limited Edition CD of Chapter 01 was released on 7 December 2010 that contained a bonus short ambient track, 'Distants'. In addition to working on Wish Upon a Blackstar and SVH Vol. 2, Celldweller kept busy on other fronts. He produced the remainder of the debut Blue Stahli album, appeared on the soundtrack of the Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3 game Dead Rising 2 with a new original song, 'Kill The Sound', as well as a selection of previously released Celldweller songs, and also did remixes for BT and Jes. Klayton confirmed in April 2010 that, for the first time in five years, he would be taking Celldweller on the road. The live band would consist of Klayton and fellow FiXT recording artist Blue Stahli. The first leg of the tour, in fall 2010, included shows at Triton Fest in New York City, Dragoncon in Atlanta, Georgia, and EBM Fest in Toronto. In November, 2010, Klayton announced that he is planning to release studio recordings of the alternate live versions of Celldweller songs played on the tour. The first of these releases, Cellout EP 01, is available as an iTunes exclusive, released on January 25, 2011. On May 4, 2011, a 4-EP bundle was released via Groupees in a 72 hour only exclusive online sale with 20% of the benefits going to Red Cross for Tornado Relief. The EPs in the promotion were Cellout EP 01, Chapter 01 of Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head Vol. 2, Chapter 03 of Wish Upon a Blackstar and the Unreleased EP, which contained previously unreleased songs and remixes including a song titled 'Senorita Bonita' from the Chapter 02 of SVH Vol. 2 and a Beta Cessions demo, 'Atmospheric Light'. In May, 2011, Klayton mentioned in one of his live streams the possibility of launching a Celldweller VIP Membership, which would give 'access to unreleased demos, video, news, discounts & more'. It was to be launched in 'early/mid July', 2011. On November 24, 2011, Klayton has announced that he is going to release Wish Upon a Blackstar on March 27, 2012. Chapter 02 of Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head Vol. 2 was released on February 14, 2012 and pre-orders of Live Upon a Blackstar began on the same day along with an announcement about the delay of Wish Upon a Blackstar to May 22, 2012. On March 2, 2012, Klayton released a new SVH song, 'Elara' as a single. The MP3 Album version of Live Upon a Blackstar was released on March 26, 2012, one day early.However, the Live Upon a Blackstar Blu-Ray DVD was delayed to April 17, 2012 and was delayed again, to May 22, 2012.

Background[edit]
Klayton worked in earnest with the producer Grant Mormhan (formerly of Leaderdogs for the Blind) on the album, which was scheduled for release in February 2001. There had been several questions about any Celldweller songs to be released. Although, Klayton was having three albums from his former band Angeldust rereleased under Criss Angel's name, he had begun working on the album. Klayton agreed with various online companies to provide unused songs for download in high quality.[5]
Various delays kept pushing the album's release date back.[6] During this time, Klayton kept fans up to date with numerous Celldweller logs through his website and via email and, in 2001, released raw files of the song 'Symbiont' to give fans and fellow musicians a chance to remix Celldweller's music.[7] Eight remixes were chosen and uploaded to the original Mp3.com, most of them making it to the top of the Electronic and the Electro-Industrial charts. The exposure led to over 500,000 song plays on Mp3.com.[citation needed] The 'Symbiont' remixes became a digital EP six years later.
The album was released in early 2003 and debuted at #17 on Billboard's Internet Sales Chart.[8]Celldweller included a guest appearance by the Taproot drummer Jarrod Montague. In 2004, the album received five awards at the Just Plain Folks Music Awards, winning Album of the Year, Producer of the Year, Industrial Album of the Year, Metal Song of the Year ('One Good Reason') and Best Industrial Rock Song ('Switchback'), and also runner-up in Best Industrial Song with 'Stay with Me (Unlikely)' and Best Rock Song with 'I Believe You'.[4] Prior to the album's release, 'Symbiont' was used in Track Down. However, the distributor of the film was mistakenly credited as 'Miramax'. Later, the song 'Switchback' was included in the list of Extreme Mode songs for the popular iPhone OS game Tap Tap Revenge.
10 Year Anniversary Edition[edit]
On May 1, 2013, Klayton announced that for the 10th anniversary of the album, it would be re-issued with updated artwork and a second disc with the songs released during the Groupees promotions, remixes, rarities and unreleased songs, all remastered for this release.[9] The unreleased song, 'Uncrowned', which is an outtake from the original album and from Wish Upon a Blackstar, was finished by Klayton for this release. The song was written in 2000.[10] The album was released a day earlier than the original release date and those who had pre-ordered the CD version of the album on FiXT, had their copies shipped and delivered a few days early.[2] Klayton signed fifteen copies of the deluxe edition CDs which were mailed at random when the pre-orders were shipped.[11]
