In 2003, Klayton independently released the self-titled debut Celldweller album, and reached 17 on the Billboard Internet Sales Chart. The album garnered Top 40 Metal Radio charting, and the track “I Believe You” reached 11 on the R&R Alternative Specialty Show Chart. The debut album also received 7 awards at the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Awards, including: Producer of the Year and Album of the Year. Guest appearances included Jarrod Montague of Taproot and mixes by Ben Grosse and Grant Mohrman.
During Summer ‘06, Klayton co-wrote and performed the Theme Song to long-time friend Criss Angel’s A&E Television Show Mindfreak, co-produced the Mindfreak CD Soundtrack, created a remix to, co-starred in a music video for the theme song, and also made a cameo appearance on a Mindfreak episode. Incidently, Criss Angel was the one to dub Scott "Klay" because of his ability to shape sound as a sculptor molds clay.
Klayton’s fierce electronic programming & production skills have captured the minds of the electronic music world as seen in the full page feature of the February ‘06 edition of Keyboard Magazine and a recent appearance for Apple Computer’s Logic Pro audio software at Remix Hotel LA. Klayton has also received special attention from EQ Magazine & Keyboard Magazine as co-sponsors of the Celldweller Remix Competition v2.0 - Take It & Break It. The Take It and Break It competition is still on going, with voting on round 3 scheduled to end on Feb. 13th. CDs with the finalist and winning mixes are currently available (see information below).
Klayton has also captured the interest of the Film/TV industry after having licensed every track from the Debut Celldweller album. Credits include: “Spider-man 3 ”, “Doom”, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, and many other notables. Though his new album has yet to be released, he had already licensed "Birthright", the first single for that album, to Warner Brothers for usage in the Speedracer original trailer, www.speedracerthemovie.com. Birthright is currently available for free download from the Fixt Music Store, store.fixtmusic.com .
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. Brought to life by members Klayton (Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards, Percussion, Eyris, Programming), Dale Van Norman (Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Keyboards, Percussion, Backing Vocals), Kem (Bass, Guitars, Keyboards, Percussion, Backing Vocals) and Cais (Acoustic & Electronic Drums and Percussion) the show is driven by multi-instrumental performances, including mass percussion ensembles with the incorporation of trance/electronic elements.
Klayton is currently preparing the next Celldweller release, which promises to be another effort towards breaking stereotypical genre boundaries. The new album will feature a cover version of the Bee Gee’s hit “Tragedy” along with new tracks “Louder Than Words,” “Blackstar,” “The Lucky One,” and “So Long Sentiment.” With each track, Klayton continues to redefine the Celldweller vision, while maintaining his signature sound. The album was slated for a 2008 release.
Celldweller is endorsed by Fixt Clothing, Mesa Boogie, FabFilter, Firewire Strings, Native Instruments, M-Audio, Cakewalk, Rusk & Korg.
Louder Than Words
Celldweller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Actions speak louder
Shut up!
So here we go again
You're opening your mouth before you think
Your insincerities
Are clinging to me like the stench of your last drink
Did I really hear you say you're sorry?
Hard for me to believe
I don't get how you're buying your own story
You're piss broke emotionally
I'm watching
Listening
The volume's always the same
Actions speak louder than words do
I don't want to hear dead words from you
Actions speak louder than words do
I just want to see what you will do
Shut up!
So here it comes again
A deafening parade of duplicity
Birds falling from the sky
The air is poisoned by the breath you waste on me
(Shut up!)
The thought of you has become so disappointing
Hard for you to believe?
You never seem to fail to change the stories
You so effortlessly breed
I'm watching
Listening
The volume's always the same
Actions speak louder than words do
I don't want to hear dead words from you
Actions speak louder than words do
I just want to see what you will do
Shut up!
Shut up!
Actions speak louder
It's time to play again, deception is your game
But why would you want to wear that shame?
It speaks louder than words
Shut up!
Actions speak louder than words do
I don't want to hear dead words from you
Actions speak louder than words do
I just want to see what you will do
The thought of you has become so disappointing
Actions speak louder than words do
(So here we go again)
Shut up!
The volume's always the same
Actions speak louder
Shut up!
The song “Louder Than Words” by Celldweller is about actions speaking louder than words when it comes to relationships. The lyrics address the issue of insincerity and the damage it can cause in a relationship. The song starts with the singer admonishing his partner for opening their mouth before thinking and spewing out insincere words that hurt him. The singer finds it hard to believe that his partner is sorry for their actions when they seem to be buying their own story.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the message that actions speak louder than words. The singer doesn’t want to hear dead words from his partner but wants to see them do something to make up for their mistakes. The second verse continues with the theme of disappointment and duplicity from the partner. The singer sees the thought of the partner as disappointing as they never seem to fail to change their stories effortlessly. The bridge sees the singer calling out the partner to play again, and deception is their game, but why would they want to wear that shame? The shame speaks louder than words.
The song “Louder Than Words” by Celldweller is a part of the album “Wish Upon A Blackstar” by the same artist. The album was released in 2012 and features a mix of electronic rock, alternative metal, and industrial rock genres.
