I never intended on falling for Klayton. I don't even listen to electronic music per se. But I am so on the same wavelength as this guy. I just love this album and the book soundtrack. This is the most underrated artist I've come across
"A start, an end, a rise and fall No system eternal and no one immortal Creation, all must end in destruction We cannot change the fate of civilization" so fucking hard bro
At the edge of the hellfire, It's the end of an empire. At the line of the gunfire, its the end of an empire. Again Again Agaiiiiin ITS THE END OF AN EMPIRE!
@@NickQuarfordTf are you talking about, Celldweller already “sold out” years ago doing Dead Rising 2, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and Need For Speed: Underground. And it’s not selling out, it’s gaining money and publicity for the use of your songs, selling out is when you sacrifice the soul of your band and in turn ruining your music, or going back on the true message of your music, Celldweller doing Cyberpunk 2077 wouldn’t have done that. Let me guess, you don’t like things that are popular and mainstream.
@@justarandompenguin it's sad but also good as MODERS! YOU GOT AJOB TO DO!!! NOW PIRATE THE RAIDO OF CYBERPUNK! Aka making a chaneel just for the mircal and others who never made it
I have been playing End of an Empire songs for a while in the car with the kids. On a school assignment, my 10 year old daughter listed 'End of an Empire' by Celldweller as her favorite song.
+apcook34 YOU! YOU DEAR SIR! YEAH; YOU! THIS IS HOW YOU RAISE YOUR CHILDREN MUSICALLY! I'M IMPRESSED 'CAUSE I WRITE IN CAPSLOCK! STAY THAT WAY AND MAKE THE BASE FOR THEIR (MUSIC)EMPIRE! :DD
Once upon a time, a sweet lovely woman named Wish Upon A Blackstar appeared. She was beautiful and graceful with sweet melodies that blended well and synths that could make a man drown in tears. Then before her appeared a gruff man named Celldweller (The Album). He was more rigged and based with drums and many riffs that felt sad and powerful, but he himself knew how to push through the pain and became great. They approached each other... fell in love... and had amazing wild sex. After nine months, this amazing child was born with both heavily well blended riffs and absolutely gorgeous synths. He was named... End of an Empire. Theeeeee end. ^^
Thank you so much Klayton for creating this song, it is indeed the end of an empire. Although it’s kind of sad that this song reminds me of a game of mmorpg (like RF online) that I used to play with my friends a long time ago. Sadly, our game services didn’t properly reach their agreements with the server moderators and closed our favorite game. So we had to say our last goodbyes and close our game. But it was good to have an experience full of great memories and nostalgia.
2:50 Time, Love. Both of the chapters names in the song. It is being hypothesized that the next chapter names are Dreams and Death because of the following lyric. Just a little interesting factoid.
I am an American. Do you hate me? Because I do not hate you just because your Russian. This song is probably talking about the United States going into anarchy. What are your thoughts?
Wow I can hear so many elements from the songs of his original albums songs, sooo nice to hear a return in some ways to the original, while still bringing new ones to the table
oh really? I didn't say what kind of blood. and besides the war never changes quote wasn't from fallout. its from general mcarthur.and yes fallout did use it but they didn't make it.
Man I loved being a fan when this was just releasing. I remember clearly when Time released and I heard this song and I realised that it wasn't just celldweller and wish upon a black star. I knew Klayton will continue to only get better. You cannot descibe the feeling I had when I heard his song playing in Planetarium in Warsaw, Poland during a space show on planetariums celeing screen. An artist I loved for over a decade making it out of first internet, than gaming, then tv, and then even into the sciences. Insane.
Listen closely to the lyrics of many of his songs. It's allusory to the matters of the world many try to call "reality". He's brings truth, in musical form. True soul music
I think it's not just pointless squealing noises, in the end, when he does it it's like a staccato of shots, or the thump of artillery in a battery, a part of the whole of the song, not just an emotional tear into it.
Now *THIS* is the Celldweller I knew and loved! Your debut was your best work, you've needed to come back to your roots for a long time. We've missed ya!
This might be better than anything i heard from WUAB....that album just didn't grab me (and it had dubstep which i just can't get into).....and after listening to this 5 or 6 more times today, this just kills all of WUAB imo - best song since the debut album....love that klay is using some tasty riffs again!...don't get me wrong ...i love alot of electronica as well as alot of metal. I just feel klay is a great riffer who should use it a bit more..
+Gunter I disagree. The phrase can mean you are good at many different skills but someone who specializes in 1 skill will still be better. In general, the more skills you are able to perform, the fewer weaknesses you'll have. Just because you may not be the best in anything, doesn't mean you are worthless. Where others fail because the task is outside their comfort zone, you'll thrive.
+Gunter i also disagree with this statement. because the true saying is "jack of all trades but king of none" which means they are good at multiple tasks but do not excel in one.
Purchased this album when it came out, was building my own radio for my car and all I had to listen to was this album on my phone and a bluetooth speaker. Even after the 3 months of listening to only this album when commuting, I often still play it when working or at home. It's helped me get through some tough times. Thanks Klayton, I'd like to shake your hand one day.
Normally when a band I like releases a new album, I tend not to like it at first, sometimes it grows on me and sometimes not but this is fantastic right from the first time hearing it. I think this album will be absolutely fantastic. :)
qwertyqwrtyqwertyuio I know that but I can't really think of a better word to use. I was referring to other bands anyway. Also, Celldweller is kinda like a one man band.
To the people in the comments: Klayton likes for everyone to find their own personal meanings in the music that he makes, so there's no need to tell a fellow listener that they're wrong about what the songs meaning is supposed to be. Just let people have their own opinions, and please be respectful.
Indeed , I found Brainchild Circle of dust in 1995 when I was an Xtian -28n years on and now a Coven Master in an Order of 9 angles ( one of many Satanist orders ) I still love his music . Allthough still get irritated by the reminders of how much of Melek T'aus's holy wyrd has been appropriated to create the vile Xtian lie employed by Emperor Constantine to cement Rome's power over the masses and perpetuated by the decieved . The gifts of Muse would see Klayton a demigod if accepted in mainsteam ,lol. Veni , omnipotens aeternae Diabolus! Agios o satanas.
Celldweller is back. With a bang! This new track incorporates all the things I love about his music and also brings new elements to the table! I love how progressive it is! It's 7:30 minutes long and yet when I listen to it, it does not feel that long at all. I also like how there are different acts: a beginning, an interlude and an ending - helps in telling the story. It is a bit repetitive with all the "It's an end of an empire" lines, but, honestly, that doesn't really bother me at all. Overall, a great start of what would most definitely end up being a great concept album! Can't wait for the rest of the Chapter to release! Klayton will always do what he feels is right with his music and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Klayton is one wicked bastard... :D There are parts of song where he divided 1st voice with 1st guitar and 2nd voice with 2nd guitar into separated stereo channels.
ARGH! Why does no one know about this guy?! not even 300 thousand views?!?! EVERYONE'S heard his music (in movies and games), and his stuff is SO WELL produced, and diversified! I've been a fan of Klay since his Circle of Dust days, and followed ALL of his projects. love everything this guy touches. favourite artist BY FAR
This song is too damn amazing... I don't remember when or why I stopped listening to celldweller, but I'm officially putting an end to that unnecessary hiatus.
This is so beautiful, it gives me a rollercoaster ride through my feelings. And those goosebumps all the time. Thank you Celldweller for such a masterpiece of music, it is really amazing.
Holy cow, I rediscovered this song after like 3 years. Making me feel one heck of an emotion Edit: December of 2020 now. Once again rediscovering it. Nostalgia is hitting like a train, and I’ve got the song on repeat like I used to. Edit 2: March of 2024. I’m sure there’s a deep meaning behind this song circling back into my feed when it does. Definitely a throwback to different times.
I don't get it. First it was "too much dubstep", now it's "meh, not that great". What the hell people?! Klayton doesn't make music by how other people tell him, but by how he sees it best. If he wanted people telling him what to do, no one would be here right now, so be a little more considerate. Personally, I find the heavy riffs combined with fast DnB beats the most epic sound there is and not a lot of people make it, even less make it sound this good. (possibly no one else) Klay, keep up the awesome work!
That's freedom of speech for you. But yeah, there is a big difference between a fan demanding that an artist changes their sound, and a fan saying they don't like the artists sound; one's a demand and the other's an opinion. Lord knows I wish more people had opinions about my music, but that's an unrelated point.
Klayton, i really love your music :D especially since its not all about love. no love songs here, just badass instruments and vocals that arent annoying! i love it!
I don't get everyone here, first "too much dubstep" and now "you can do better". Make up your damn minds or be thankful Klaytons making music and enjoy it.
This is actually really good. I normally don't like screaming (outside of metal) or electronic, but this combines the two nicely. Actually kind of reminds me of the kind of music they'd use for combat in a Devil May Cry game, which is definitely a positive.
Huh, there's a lot of people with different opinions here... But I don't care what anyone else says, I will love Klayton's music no matter how it changes! :D
This is not just lyrics or Genres or music, this is ART, deal with it Celldweller fan since 2003 and he did more epic and intelligent music then others in there whole career Klayton for President, greetings from Germany. Celldweller, keep going and push more
This is all one person, clayton. Best music of all time. He works under celldweller, scandroid, and freqgen. And what's cool is that all of it was him. Also he doesn't have one bad song in my opinion. My top 30 songs are all from him
To me metal and DnB go together like peanut butter and jelly. I can't believe this sound is just so obscure and difficult to find. Any other song recommendations for tracks like this are appreciated.
Klayton operates under two music names- Celldweller and Scandroid. Check out Scandroid- The End of Time. Scandroid also does a Very good mix for Michael Jackson's- Thriller. Zardonic is also pretty decent. Hope this helps. Edited for added content: I was wrong, Klayton has 3 music names. Circle of Dust is the third. Check Circle of Dust- Hivemind
The truth is I always liked these styles of rock and dubstep music, because at the same time they give you inspiration, in fact my channel is inspired by your CellWeller channel, with the music, animations and other effects and a group of COD players, I always liked it Your videos, the first day I saw this channel, was what inspired me to continue with my channel and the music hehe, keep your videos going teacher.
I dont know whats wrong with some of the people here. Its a song. Either you like it or you dont. It doesnt matter if its "better" or "worse" than any of his previous songs. I really do enjoy it though. keep up the great work man :)
Klayton, seeing you in Jacksonville was my very first concert. It blew me away what you did in this showing. It was an experience I haven't been able to compare at any other show. From following you through transitions of circle of dust to now, even fist pumping you at the show :3 While other's have criticized you I remember why you split off and did your own thing in the first place. Don't let criticism ever get ya' because you'll be true to yourself, and your work. Thank you for the wonderful music you share with us and the passion you invest into it. I'm now off to purchase this...
This is a million times better than I expected! I didn't pre-order this and it was very, very huge mistake which I'm gonna correct right now. Masterpiece!
Man, everyone complaining in the comments must have LOVED "The Stars of Orion" *rolls eyes* Sure he repeats his lyrics a lot in this song, but that doesn't make them bad lyrics, plus there is so much more to the song than the vocals if you listen closely with some nice sound canceling headphones. Plus, coming from an artist who has said before that vocals are his least favourite to record, and who has more mainly instrumental albums than mainly vocal albums, this is a masterpiece for his fans of his vocal songs (like me)! Keep up the great work!
To all those ppl who moan about the repeating lyrics: if you understood them you would have a right to say that... he feels they need repeating as it seems no one realises he is talking about the real world... almost all of the songs he has done have such an important message to humanity, and like most artists no one gets it... damn it must be frustrating for them :(
+Seelmiles i can draw manga and maybe comics but that will take me much longer so I'm better for manga or anime but you probbably dont care about anime or like it or comics and think I'm an idiot who's terrable at grammer and should kill herself!!.... because that has happened before.
Why can't there be more people who combine Metal and Electro like Blue Stahli and Celldweller do? This is so awesome, but there's so little of it!
You should listen to Korns new stuff
Hugo Shaa It has heavily DnB influence.
***** This make me think of Hollywood Undead but with less style ^^
Look for Qualium on Soundcloud, its not on youtube cause I need to finish the album, but you might like it :)
And sorry for this, but nobody knows me, I have to exploit the possibility of new listeners T_T
Klayton did the programming on a few songs for I See Stars' newest album as well
This is the first song made by Celldweller I've ever heard.
Stevatron Rock same ! And it's my fav song by him
First for me was Eon, but this is better than Eon, dem guitar riffs for me :)
sucks to be you
his best was Switchback
eon was my first this is second
Lyrics (corrected by Dmitri Leontev):
At the edge of the hellfire
It's the end of an empire
In the line of the gunfire
It's the end of an empire
Again, again, again
It's the end of an empire
A start, an end, a rise and fall
No system eternal and no one immortal
Creation all must end in destruction
We cannot change the fate of civilization
Start, end
We build up the symbols of power
Rise, fall
Constructs of a mortal mind
Life span
Conquer in our brightest hour
Mortal
But then we all must fall in time
Through space and time
We can't escape this paradigm
At the edge of the hellfire
It's the end of an empire
In the line of the gunfire
It's the end of an empire
Again, again
It's the end of an empire
Time, love
Kingdoms, each of us reigning
Dreams, death
Over the realms of our hearts and minds
Space, mind
Conscious that death is awaiting
Sea, pit
But even death will end in time
Through space and time
We can't escape this paradigm
At the edge of the hellfire
It's the end of an empire
In the line of the gunfire
It's the end of an empire
Again, again
It's the end of an empire
In the death of a desire
It's the end of an empire
At the close of a lifetime
It's the end of an empire
At the edge of the hellfire
It's the end of an empire
In the line of the gunfire
It's the end of an empire
Again, again, again, again
It's the end of an empire
Again
It's the end of an empire
We're falling into the unknown
Another ending that's beginning to unfold
We're falling into the unknown (it's the end)
Another ending that's beginning to unfold
It's the end of an empire
We're falling into the unknown (it's the end)
Another ending that's beginning to unfold
It's the end
We're falling into the unknown (it's the end)
Another ending that's beginning to unfold
It's the end of an empire
It's the end of an empire
Now find me guitar tabs for this pls :D
*Space, mind
*Sea, pit
EariosRandomness - Thanks? It's word for word.

Totally agree. There should be a DLC for him.

I learned about him today 😭... He's so underrated!
Listen to his older works. Welcome to The End is outstanding!
Also look up Scandroid and Circle of Dust. Same bloke, different feel to the music. The Enigma TNG might be worth a listen for you as well.

i just view this as ironic. or the opposite of that XD
yeah
I am not fan of electro music, but I must say, Celldweller is an amazing creative artist. Hands down
Celldweller has become my favourite electronic artist
Searched Celldweller on Xbox Music, found this new album and loved it. Now I'm here on TH-cam to tell you:
YOU F_CKING ROCK! KEEP UP THE GOOD MUSIC!
You should also check out "Blue Stahli".
Orange Storm Gaming. Already have. Big fan, too. Especially 'Throw Away'.
Katey Mistaline My fav songs by Blue Stahli are definetly Scrape and Not Over Til We Say So. Just awesome and nothing less.
***** I love Scrape. I love the whole self titled album.
Wow I can hear so many elements from the songs of his original albums songs, sooo nice to hear a return in some ways to the original, while still bringing new ones to the table
This band got the *music of the future* down love the fusion of rock/metal with electronics elements thrown in with this group
celldweller is a one guy band
Still enjoying this piece after all this years, many things've changed, this song isn't one of them.
Thanks Klayton.
10 лет, а актуальности не теряет🔥
I love how this song goes from dramatic to basically The Cyber Grind (ULTRAKILL ost) with lyrics in a matter of seconds, this is beautiful

1:17 these guitars are the reason why I keep relistening this track. They sound so damn sexy together
Agreed, the only reason why i do
YES. The guitar makes this song
What about the lyrics? they're fire
It's amazing how after so many years I'm still not tired listening to this song
I don't know what it is about Celldweller, but his music is the only music that I can actually stand the screaming parts of.
Listen closely to the lyrics of many of his songs. It's allusory to the matters of the world many try to call "reality". He's brings truth, in musical form. True soul music
He was actually the first musician who made me appreciate the screams in metal.
I think it's not just pointless squealing noises, in the end, when he does it it's like a staccato of shots, or the thump of artillery in a battery, a part of the whole of the song, not just an emotional tear into it.

Purchased this album when it came out, was building my own radio for my car and all I had to listen to was this album on my phone and a bluetooth speaker. Even after the 3 months of listening to only this album when commuting, I often still play it when working or at home. It's helped me get through some tough times. Thanks Klayton, I'd like to shake your hand one day.
As someone whose favorite genres are DnB, Metal, Synthwave, this song hits all those notes
Normally when a band I like releases a new album, I tend not to like it at first, sometimes it grows on me and sometimes not but this is fantastic right from the first time hearing it. I think this album will be absolutely fantastic. :)
Its not even a band, its one guy.
qwertyqwrtyqwertyuio I know that but I can't really think of a better word to use. I was referring to other bands anyway. Also, Celldweller is kinda like a one man band.
***** How about artist? :P
***** I always though celldweller had Blue Stahli helping him out and some other guys.
DenzelRealm Blue Stahli helps with the live shows but as far as I know, the albums are all Klayton.
I came to listen to this track many years later. I'm in tears, I grew up listening to his songs. Thanks for the childhood, Klayton🫡🥹
To the people in the comments: Klayton likes for everyone to find their own personal meanings in the music that he makes, so there's no need to tell a fellow listener that they're wrong about what the songs meaning is supposed to be. Just let people have their own opinions, and please be respectful.
Oh, it got a very deep personal meaning for me, alright. 120 fucking days into the bloody war 👿
ok, officer
Indeed , I found Brainchild Circle of dust in 1995 when I was an Xtian -28n years on and now a Coven Master in an Order of 9 angles ( one of many Satanist orders ) I still love his music . Allthough still get irritated by the reminders of how much of Melek T'aus's holy wyrd has been appropriated to create the vile Xtian lie employed by Emperor Constantine to cement Rome's power over the masses and perpetuated by the decieved .
The gifts of Muse would see Klayton a demigod if accepted in mainsteam ,lol.
Veni , omnipotens aeternae Diabolus!
Agios o satanas.
Celldweller is back. With a bang! This new track incorporates all the things I love about his music and also brings new elements to the table! I love how progressive it is! It's 7:30 minutes long and yet when I listen to it, it does not feel that long at all. I also like how there are different acts: a beginning, an interlude and an ending - helps in telling the story.
It is a bit repetitive with all the "It's an end of an empire" lines, but, honestly, that doesn't really bother me at all.
Overall, a great start of what would most definitely end up being a great concept album! Can't wait for the rest of the Chapter to release!
Klayton will always do what he feels is right with his music and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Thank you Celldweller for always bringing us refreshing music from within your mind and the music scene in general. Your art never disappoints me.
Those summer days of 2020 make me listen this track again.
Same goes for me
Well this IS the end of an empire... =/
Actually i just dicovered him
@@Getyourwishh Wish I could do the same
@@antonzhdanov9653 everything has a beginning and an end..
Time is the line for this song. All things must come to an end it seems. Which I held most dear, all things I loved. It lies in the past!
Klayton is one wicked bastard... :D
There are parts of song where he divided 1st voice with 1st guitar and 2nd voice with 2nd guitar into separated stereo channels.
By far his music style and sound designs are unique and must be heard! hope to hear more music like this. Stay awesome Celldweller!
Celldweller songs are a whole experience
Очень атмосферно звучит!
Мне нравится!!!
Мечтаю добиться тех же успехов как и Celldweller.
Пацан к успеху шёл
@orifrakhimbaev9101 ещё в пути
ARGH! Why does no one know about this guy?! not even 300 thousand views?!?! EVERYONE'S heard his music (in movies and games), and his stuff is SO WELL produced, and diversified! I've been a fan of Klay since his Circle of Dust days, and followed ALL of his projects. love everything this guy touches. favourite artist BY FAR
Les chansons de Cell. me rappellerons toujours cette personne 🥰🔥🤘🏻
I was listening to this before I went to bed and it lulled me to sleep! 10/10.
I feel like I should be worried for you lol :D
+DICE i feel like i should be worried for myself too!! ☺️😀
SAVAGE! XD
If you didn't dream about a gigantic Tower falling then I'm disappointed ;D
I fall sleep to this kind of music
i fell asleep listening to the whole album dreaming all about it. i wake up stunned.
This song is too damn amazing... I don't remember when or why I stopped listening to celldweller, but I'm officially putting an end to that unnecessary hiatus.
This is so beautiful, it gives me a rollercoaster ride through my feelings. And those goosebumps all the time. Thank you Celldweller for such a masterpiece of music, it is really amazing.
Metalcore riffs and breakdown with the power of DNB...this...is...incredible :') Pure energy
Holy cow, I rediscovered this song after like 3 years. Making me feel one heck of an emotion
Edit: December of 2020 now. Once again rediscovering it. Nostalgia is hitting like a train, and I’ve got the song on repeat like I used to.
Edit 2: March of 2024. I’m sure there’s a deep meaning behind this song circling back into my feed when it does. Definitely a throwback to different times.
Exactly!! I feel that way now!! I’m currently living in China and man, the emotions I’m feeling now! Pure BLISS!!!
Well, i hope this reply causes you to rediscover it again lol, this song is great
I don't get it. First it was "too much dubstep", now it's "meh, not that great". What the hell people?! Klayton doesn't make music by how other people tell him, but by how he sees it best. If he wanted people telling him what to do, no one would be here right now, so be a little more considerate.
Personally, I find the heavy riffs combined with fast DnB beats the most epic sound there is and not a lot of people make it, even less make it sound this good. (possibly no one else)
Klay, keep up the awesome work!
That's freedom of speech for you. But yeah, there is a big difference between a fan demanding that an artist changes their sound, and a fan saying they don't like the artists sound; one's a demand and the other's an opinion. Lord knows I wish more people had opinions about my music, but that's an unrelated point.
I totally agree with you. Klayton's music is badass
@Lil Yeet Pretty sure he was just giving encouragement to Klayton for doing his own thing. Like "keep doing what you do!"
Ben Knight
A fan telling his « idol » to change isn’t a fan.
It's the same way everyone shits on offworld, which is a masterfully created album.
I feel this song is more relevant today than in any of the years since it's been made.
I stumbled across this song today and came looking for this comment. I’m elated that I found it and that I’m not alone in that sentiment.
I am with you. Every now I found myself singing the "again and again" part of the chorus...
Klayton, i really love your music :D especially since its not all about love. no love songs here, just badass instruments and vocals that arent annoying! i love it!
Ikr!, His voice is amazing.
I know im a whole nine years late, but i absolutely agree. It feels like we get too many songs about love and we need more songs like this
I have been searching for artists that scratch that musical itch for a LONG time...& I have finally found it. This genre is incredible!
Bro this has been out for 10 YEARS AND I HAD NO CLUE THAT IT EXISTED!!??? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I didn't think i'd love this style of music so much. I'm not much of a metal fan but this kicks ass! it really appeals to the dubstep side of me XD
It's drum and bass. Look up rock dnb
@@smithyukboi Holy shit that makes sense XD Sweet!
I don't get everyone here, first "too much dubstep" and now "you can do better". Make up your damn minds or be thankful Klaytons making music and enjoy it.
Plus I don't get where they hear dubstep, it's a pure mix between Metal and DnB.
Its drum and bass
coming from the future of this, this is amazing XD and this is also dnb and metal of some sort
Current Year: he's not releasing anything good. Figure that...
this song is more relevant then ever, the 2020s will be the end of many empires, the future will be like nothing we can imagine...
Russia.
Russia, China and the United States are all on their way to collapse.
@@terransystems3291 Europe as well , the EU is in shambles.
This is actually really good. I normally don't like screaming (outside of metal) or electronic, but this combines the two nicely. Actually kind of reminds me of the kind of music they'd use for combat in a Devil May Cry game, which is definitely a positive.
It's 2023 and I'm still here vibin
Its 2024 and im still here vibin
2014 me: Wow, what a great song
2021 me: WE CANNOT CHANGE THE FATE OF CIVILIZATION
*sick guitar riff*
start
end
WE BUILD UP SYMBOLS OF POWER
Alot of things will go wrong before it goes better, that's the case with everything.
AGAIN, AGAIN.....AGAIN..... IT'S THE END OF AN EMPIRE
History doesn't repeat, but it sure as hell rhymes.
Correction: WE CANNOT CHANGE THE FATE OF *C I V I L I Z A T I O O O O N N*
hello from 2023: Good luck We are f**ked
this was uploaded in my 2nd birthday and it still is alive
Huh, there's a lot of people with different opinions here...
But I don't care what anyone else says, I will love Klayton's music no matter how it changes! :D
No matter how long I've been a cellmate, I will always think of you as the Dead Rising guy.
This is not just lyrics or Genres or music, this is ART, deal with it
Celldweller fan since 2003 and he did more epic and intelligent music then others in there whole career
Klayton for President, greetings from Germany.
Celldweller, keep going and push more
Not the only true fan from Germany :D Also love Klaytons work for years now :D
Первое моё знакомство с этой группой началось с этой песни. Звучит очень не дурно. Электроника и метал наше всё
This is all one person, clayton. Best music of all time. He works under celldweller, scandroid, and freqgen. And what's cool is that all of it was him. Also he doesn't have one bad song in my opinion. My top 30 songs are all from him
To me metal and DnB go together like peanut butter and jelly. I can't believe this sound is just so obscure and difficult to find. Any other song recommendations for tracks like this are appreciated.
Klayton operates under two music names- Celldweller and Scandroid. Check out Scandroid- The End of Time. Scandroid also does a Very good mix for Michael Jackson's- Thriller.
Zardonic is also pretty decent. Hope this helps.
Edited for added content: I was wrong, Klayton has 3 music names. Circle of Dust is the third. Check Circle of Dust- Hivemind
From 6:12 its perfection klayton always keeps something special at he's end of the songs
The truth is I always liked these styles of rock and dubstep music, because at the same time they give you inspiration, in fact my channel is inspired by your CellWeller channel, with the music, animations and other effects and a group of COD players, I always liked it Your videos, the first day I saw this channel, was what inspired me to continue with my channel and the music hehe, keep your videos going teacher.
The Covenant: New World Order. Older than you may think.
XGRA had celldweller songs 13 years ago, but today i still play that game, listening this new song
Need For Speed Most Wanted.
it was a very good game
That games has got songs of cellweder?
Yes, XGRA had 4 songs in 2003 and Most Wanted had 2 in 2005.
This is called a "gem" ,kids from future who will listen to this song.
This is insane!! Amazing Klayton so many different mixes of genre
I love the chorus the most
I dont know whats wrong with some of the people here.
Its a song. Either you like it or you dont.
It doesnt matter if its "better" or "worse" than any of his previous songs.
I really do enjoy it though. keep up the great work man :)
At the edge of the hellfire
In the line of the gunfire,
In the death of a desire,
At the close of a lifetime,
It's the end of an empire,
Again.
Klayton, seeing you in Jacksonville was my very first concert. It blew me away what you did in this showing. It was an experience I haven't been able to compare at any other show. From following you through transitions of circle of dust to now, even fist pumping you at the show :3 While other's have criticized you I remember why you split off and did your own thing in the first place. Don't let criticism ever get ya' because you'll be true to yourself, and your work. Thank you for the wonderful music you share with us and the passion you invest into it. I'm now off to purchase this...
This is a million times better than I expected! I didn't pre-order this and it was very, very huge mistake which I'm gonna correct right now. Masterpiece!
I've been addicted to this for the past few days. Amazing job as usual.
absolutely amazing. Clayton outdid himself with this one!
Man, everyone complaining in the comments must have LOVED "The Stars of Orion" *rolls eyes*
Sure he repeats his lyrics a lot in this song, but that doesn't make them bad lyrics, plus there is so much more to the song than the vocals if you listen closely with some nice sound canceling headphones.
Plus, coming from an artist who has said before that vocals are his least favourite to record, and who has more mainly instrumental albums than mainly vocal albums, this is a masterpiece for his fans of his vocal songs (like me)!
Keep up the great work!
ok, this is why I started listen to Celldwellers' songs! that's anger, power, energy, emotions, concentration in storm I love
To all those ppl who moan about the repeating lyrics: if you understood them you would have a right to say that... he feels they need repeating as it seems no one realises he is talking about the real world... almost all of the songs he has done have such an important message to humanity, and like most artists no one gets it... damn it must be frustrating for them :(
Well put.
No one slates Fear Factory for repeating lyrics in "Replica". It's the man's art, if you don't like it, go elsewhere!!!
Ну хоть кто то это еще понимает..
That moment when you get the idea of an animation when listening to a song...
Only to remember you can't even draw a damn simple normal guy.
True Story... every time i think at the line "In the Gun Fire" on 1000 Napolionic Soldiers shooting at the same time :D
+Seelmiles i can draw manga and maybe comics but that will take me much longer so I'm better for manga or anime but you probbably dont care about anime or like it or comics and think I'm an idiot who's terrable at grammer and should kill herself!!.... because that has happened before.
dude same
+Washu “Goddess Of Awesome Power” Hakubi Chousin That got pointlessly dark, very fast, but I understand what you mean.
chris ebbs sorry people always hate me for no reason and I have no idea if the person who made this post likes anime or comics.
So, I just found this... And it's amazing! I normally only listen to metal, but this is like a huge mixup of many genres... Awesome.
Same here! I'm more used to symphonic metal, though.
I just found this.. nine years after you did lol
God, what was i doing for nine years!? This song is amazing!
Came here through a Blue Stahli comments section, dont regret it, both makes such awesome music!
this song is a timeless classic
masterpiece
