At the time, Klay put Circle of Dust on hold and formed random music projects such as Brainchild and Argyle Park. With the disbandment of Argyle Park, Klay and Criss both agreed to form an industrial rock band of their own, featuring Dave Sussman (later of Bile) on guitar for the live band. The project was called Angeldust in the early years and for the release of the first soundtrack-album 'Musical Conjurings From World of Illusion', however the project was later rebranded to coincide with two further soundtrack volumes and simply released under the Criss Angel title instead of Angeldust and dubbed the 'System' trilogy.

As Klay and Criss began to write the songs, they began to develop a strong friendship. Both loved to make the same type of music and both had the same cyberpunk visual image that was incorporated heavily into the World of Illusion stage-shows. Angeldust did not last that long as Criss went onto to further his solo illusionist career and Klay formed his latest project, Celldweller. Up to this day, even though both men are busy with their own successful projects, Klay still helps Criss Angel make music for his popular Mindfreak television show, most notably the theme song to the show. Accordingly, Klayton can be seen in the Mindfreak music video, playing guitar and keyboards. Select songs from the System trilogy have since been compiled and re-released on the Criss Angel Mindfreak soundtrack.

Freedom

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Criss Angel's song "Closure" are quite poetic and thought-provoking. The opening lines, "It has been said that the body is a slave to the mind," suggest that our physical actions are controlled by our thoughts and emotions. This idea is not new, but it is explored further through the next lines of the song. Criss Angel believes that this only holds true when the mind is able to see freedom. This implies that our thoughts can either limit us or set us free.

The rest of the song is about letting go of painful memories, finding peace and closure from past traumas. The lines "No longer will you have power over me, let the clouded vision clear, hear the thunder, see the light," suggest that Angel is breaking free from his past and finding clarity. He is no longer allowing past hurts to control his present and future.

Overall, "Closure" is a powerful song about overcoming past traumas and finding peace in the present. It advocates for the power of the mind and how our thoughts can set us free if we let go of painful memories.
