Celldweller

Celldweller, the most prolific Detroit-based musician and sound designer Klayton, is an innovative, genre-crossing project that incorporates different styles of rock and electronic music as well as orchestral elements. Rooted in the heavy metal scene, Klayton integrated genres such as drum'n'bass and trance into the early releases of Celldweller, such as its debut in 2003. Celldweller songs have been featured in many films, movie trailers, television shows and video games.

Klayton began recording solo material as Celldweller in 1999. Celldweller's self-titled debut album, an ambitious fusion of trance, drum'n'bass, metal, and alternative rock, appeared in 2003. Later, Klayton began fusing metal with dubstep and EDM on subsequent albums like 2012's Wish Upon a Blackstar, while 2017's Offworld was influenced by shoegaze. Celldweller's self-titled debut was given a tenth-anniversary deluxe reissue in 2013. Remixed Upon a Blackstar appeared in 2018, and studio album Satellites followed in 2019.
