The self-titled debut that started it all has turned ten. At the dawn of the new millennium, songwriter, producer, and multi- instrumentalist Klayton created Celldweller, a ground-breaking aural entity for the next age. Thriving on originality, Celldweller cross-bred electronic styles such as Drum'n'Bass and Psy-Trance with modern Alternative Rock and Metal on his self-titled debut, released independently in 2003. The Celldweller album met with critical acclaim while climbing to #17 on the Billboard Internet Sales Chart. Celldweller gained Top 40 Metal Radio charting with the track “I Believe You' pulling into a solid 11th place on the R&R Alternative Specialty Show Chart. Achieving a feat shared by only an elite handful of albums, every song on Celldweller was eventually licensed for use in popular media. These songs were heard in movie trailers, TV shows, and games such as Spider Man 2, Constantine, Crackdown, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Enter the Matrix, CSI, UFC, The Shield, and more. Now, Celldweller has been reissued to celebrate the tenth anniversary of it's release with the addition of previously unheard song “Uncrowned' and updated artwork. A special 2-disc Deluxe Edition featuring remixes, demos, and rarities is also available. While Klayton busies himself in his Detroit studio preparing the future of Celldweller for 2013, celebrate the past with this monumental work.r the Matrix; and television shows such as CSI and The Shield.

Smorgasbord of Rock
The two CDs, that last a total of almost 160 minutes, contain a wide variety of different electronic rock styles that includes; nu-metal, drum and base and something in between with occasional death metal vocals added to the mix. These are a reflection of how the very talented artist Klayton has evolved over the years and serve as a good introduction to his very enjoyable music. I particularly liked the remixes and tracks that had not previously been released but I have no favourites as they are all good in their own way.

Remastered perfection
It can't have been ten years, surely! Industrial rock crafted with exquisite care and attention to detail, now remastered and packaged with a load of bonus content including remixes, singles and work with other artists plus a few unreleased demos. 'Celldweller' is a landmark album and one that seems to finally be getting the recognition it deserves given the steady stream of releases from Klay Scott over the last few years - you'll have heard several of these songs in movies, trailers, video games and so on, and now's your chance to hear the full range of what Klay 'Celldweller' Scott can do. Metal, electro, drum and bass, ambient, rock - all on here, all amazing. One of those albums to take with you on the spaceship when you leave Earth.

10YearAnniversaryEdition
Just like the standard edition with an extra cd of different tracks on and different artwork on it, that's pretty much the only difference. But altogether I still like it. Recommended for Celldweller and Blue Stahli fans and the like.

An enhanced version of the original Alt Metal mega-classic!
It goes without saying that the album itself ( disc 1 ) is a modern rock classic. However, I got this for the rare tracks, and even the out-takes and snippets do not disappoint. Best ones: Ghost, Uncrowned, Tragedy, and Iria.
