Developed as an agent of contrast, Celldweller combines the electronic and the organic, darkness and beauty, aggression against sensuality, with the ability to find its home in the mosh pit as easily as on the dj’s turntable. The debut album ranges from the guitar-based electronic rock of “Switchback” and “I Believe You” to the unique blending of heavily distorted guitars and aggression with drum & bass and trance in “The Last Firstborn” and “Own Little World.” The styles are further contrasted by the electro-orchestral Depeche Mode-esque “So Sorry to Say” and the hauntingly beautiful down tempo track “Welcome to the End.”



The Celldweller album, released independently, debuted at 17 on the Billboard Internet Sales Chart and won Album of the Year honors at the Just Plain Folks Music Awards. The album has garnered Top 40 Metal Radio charting and “I Believe You” reached 11 on the R&R Alternative Specialty Show Chart. Guest appearances include Jarrod Montague of Taproot, Kenny James, Fluffy Starr, and mixes by Ben Grosse and Grant Mohrman.



The artist, performer, producer, songwriter, programmer, and re-mixer Klayton has an extensive musical history beginning in the early nineties, with work on such projects as: Circle of Dust, Argyle Park, Chatterbox, Criss Angel, Level, Klank, AP2, and Prong. Klayton took home 7 awards at the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Awards, including, Producer of the Year, Album of the Year, 1 Industrial Song of the Year, and 1 Metal Song of the Year.
