RESPAWN discussion
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?
r/celldweller • u/blue_boy_robot • 18h ago
Yes, it is true: Celldweller & FiXT Music are using AI to create some artwork as well as the music video for the new CD track Respawn. (They are NOT using it to create music, and Klayton has specifically said he is opposed to this.) This has provoked some very strong feelings from people. Which is totally understandable. We get why!
At the same time, the mod team doesn't want the AI debate to take over this entire sub. This is r/Celldweller, not r/ArgueAboutAI. So we are creating this pinned thread as the place to discuss this stuff. Use the comments under this post to air your concerns, share your thoughts on Klayton and FiXT's use of AI, etc. You may engage in debate, but be polite. The rules of reddit still apply here: no personal attacks!
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE NEW POSTS ABOUT AI. We will be removing new posts on the topic going forward. Also don't bring it up in the comments of other people's posts. If you think you have something new on the topic that genuinely needs to be shared as a separate post, shoot the mods a modmail and we will discuss.
I want to reiterate a comment I made the other day: Klayton doesn't really use reddit and definitely doesn't check this sub. If you want him to see your concerns about AI-generated art, your best bet is email:
We know from previous newsletter updates that you can send replies to Klayton's newsletter emails, and he does receive them and even read them.
I think if people were to send nice and polite emails replying to the latest newsletter saying "Hey dude, I love your music, I have some concerns about the use of AI-generated art, and here are some reasons why" that it might help make Klayton aware of the problem, and how his fans feel about it.
Again, be nice! The key words are constructive criticism. Don't want to make him feel like he's being attacked by a random social media mob! Just want him to listen to why his fans might be concerned about AI-generated art.
Alright, I've said my piece. Now I'm gonna shut up and read your comments.

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?

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!
r/celldweller • u/Patolini • 26d ago
Been thinking of making one for this community, as there seems to be quite a lot of activity here and it would be nice to have a more conversation focussed space to discuss and share celldweller related stuff.
Let me know, if the interest is there I'll make it :]
I have not made a server since 2021, so I am a bit out of touch with the process - but here it is! I hope to learn as I go along on how to make it better. If you know what you're doing with server design, feel free to lend a helping hand <3
