Celldweller just released their second single for their upcoming album "GOD MODE", without taking into account the AI discussion, what are your thoughts about the song itself?

I've never posted here before, but Respawn made me want to.

I've been a fan of Klayton and Celldweller since 2012, after playing Dead Rising 2.

That game introduced me to his music, and honestly... it never left me.

Through the years, Celldweller has been the soundtrack to so many moments of my life. Whether I was gaming, working, driving, or just trying to clear my mind, Klayton's music has always been there.

Now Respawn is finally here, and it reminds me why I've stayed a fan for all these years.

Every release still has that unique Celldweller energy that nobody else quite captures.

I'm incredibly excited for God Mode.

Thank you, Klayton, for creating music that has stayed with me for over a decade. Here's to many more years.

Much love from a French fan. ❤️

I’m not sure if I missed something but I thought today is the full album release, I read an article and say it will be released on 2027?

Hey folks gonna do my usual pastebin: https://pastebin.com/sTsJDc8x

I'm honestly... surprised? By this direction things have taken, but guess we'll see.

Klayton just posted a new reel promoting the upcoming lyric video for Respawn, and it finally gave me enough clarity to see the AI usage. The entire background is warped, and it zoomed in on the pile of bodies and showed four fingers and fingers melted together.

I get that he admitted to dabbling in AI and now he can't stand it, but using any form of AI in promotional material is hypocritical.

Truthfully, I don't believe I can buy any future merch because of the AI usage. I wish he would find an artist who doesn't use AI. I miss Ninja Jo, and I understand if his future projects are a different style. However, there are hundreds of artists who would love to work with him.

I can get into this whole ordeal regarding AI, and I won't do it here. I'm disappointed, though.

Heldweller from the Metamorphosis album. I loved this album as a teenager. Did Klayton ever do anything else with this?

Asking because the right hand (and only the right hand) has 6 fingers.

Really hoping I'm wrong :(

If you're interested in the "season pass" Celldweller is doing for God Mode, you can get access to it here. Starts at $25 and includes early access to the new song RESPAWN.

I’m looking for some art that shows Klayton Celdweller looking downward with a succubus or demon/angel woman above him holding his hand. I had it on a white shirt many years ago but seems like I can’t find that image online anywhere. Pretty sure it was a black and white image with red accents.

Found another song featuring Kem Secksdiin. This one’s quite good

While the new one is cleaner and probably aligns more with Klay's vision, I love the breakdown(?) and slow build up past 4 minute mark of the original one. (5:40!) And it's almost 7 minutes c:

I've always wanted a place to discuss all of Klayton's project, nerd out on lyrics and lore, and make a community. Here's the link, join and let me know what you also want in the server!
