Celldweller - the concept born from experiences of personal and cultural bondage along with the creator`s near 24-7 dwelling in his former basement studio. Klayton, the man behind the machine, originally created the moniker as a producer pseudonym. However, after retiring his previous band, the 90`s cult industrial act Circle of Dust, he adopted Celldweller as his defining outlet. 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 Celldweller live show is a fusion of performance art, rave culture, and the raw energy of a rock show, entirely synchronized to projected video.
