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.
So Long Sentiment
Celldweller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It never goes away, the thinking
Echoes in empty rooms decaying
Alone to face the rest of me
So long sentiment
It doesnt matter now (x4)
Why am I torturing myself?
Inhaling all these memories
Like a breath of fire sent from Hell
Lead in my gut, not in my spine
I feel distracted all the time
Well lucky me I'm finally all alone
I'll miss you
So long Sentiment
It doesnt matter now (x4)
What the hell is wrong with me?
Why am I torturing myself?
Fixated on these memories
Like a prisoner inside a cell
Lead in my gut, not in my spine
I feel distracted all the time
Well lucky me I'm finally all alone
I'll miss you
So long Sentiment
It doesnt matter now (x4)
With nothing useful to say and no one to listen to it
Filling the deep with the pain, I slowly sink into it
Consider questionable things to try to get me through it
I've tried to push it away but I always give into it
Long for the taste of the rain that finally helps subdue it
And washes this all away
Under this crushing wait, Im sinking
It never goes away, the thinking
Echoes in empty rooms are saying
Time to erase the rest of me
So long Sentiment
It doesnt matter now...
The lyrics to Celldweller's song "So Long Sentiment" are about the weight of memories and the pain that they can bring.

The repetition of "it never goes away, the thinking" emphasizes the inescapable nature of these feelings. The songwriter then speaks to the emptiness of being alone with their thoughts and feelings, highlighting the isolating effects that holding onto memories can have.
However, as the lyrics progress, the songwriter realizes that holding onto these memories is self-destructive. They question what is wrong with themselves and why they are torturing themselves with these memories. The metaphor of inhaling memories "like a breath of fire sent from Hell" evokes the idea that holding onto these memories is causing pain and destruction. The phrase "lead in my gut" refers to the physical weight that holding onto the memories can cause, but the songwriter realizes that, lucky them, they are finally all alone and can begin to let go.
The chorus repeats "So long sentiment, it doesn't matter now" four times, emphasizing the idea of letting go and moving on. The last lines describe the journey towards healing, realizing that they need to erase the rest of themselves to truly let go of the memories.
Overall, the lyrics of "So Long Sentiment" describe the pain that holding onto memories can cause and the journey towards letting go and healing.

Klayton is beyond talented, he plays all his own music, sings the vocals and mixes and produces it. The songs are provoking and he takes musical risks. And it sounds AMAZING. I hate that I live in a world where that isn't more appreciated.
@deadforever99
The man is a fucking machine. One of the most perfect succes stories you can get. His work ethic really is amazing.
