Celldweller Teams Up With SWARM & REEBZ In Apocalyptic New Single “Fakebreaker”
October 29, 2025
Artist News, Artist Press
Celldweller

From Upcoming God Mode EP

Celldweller has announced “Fakebreaker,” as the first new vocal single from his recently completed Detroit studio, from the upcoming gaming-inspired Celldweller EP, God Mode.  An apocalyptic assault created alongside dark bass powerhouse SWARM and UK electronic-metal artist/vocalist REEBZ, “Fakebreaker” is accompanied with an adrenaline fueled music video, delivering chaos, intensity, and merciless energy, out now across all platforms from FiXT.

The single opens with tense, cinematic synths before erupting into a powerful blend of industrial metal riffs, heavy midtempo drops, and driving electronic bass. Dark atmospheres collide with fierce vocals, crushing drums, and cybernetic textures, creating a high-energy immersive soundscape.

This is Celldweller at his most relentless, cinematic, and devastating, a high-octane return proving that even after years away, he remains a pioneer of electronic-rock, industrial metal, and dystopian soundscapes.

“A 303 acid bassline and a breakbeat. This was a demo for my project FreqGen, and from these humble beginnings while simultaneously completing the build of my new studio, “Fakebreaker” developed into a monster. During the process I hit up my friend REEBZ to see if she wanted to throw vocals over the FreqGen demo, and when I got them back knew instantly it needed to become a full blown Celldweller track. Being a SWARM fan, he instantly came to mind when thinking about how to make this track even bigger and better. The combination of the 3 of us was the perfect storm to bring this track to God Mode level.” – Klayton (Celldweller)

“I love Celldweller, and I love video games. When I was asked to work on a song that had both in common, it was the quickest “yes” that has ever left my lips. It turned out to be such a cool fusion of retro-tinged electronic music & heavy rock, and Reebz’ vocals gave it such a fresh feel. I had such a blast making it with such talented people!” – SWARM

“Both Celldweller and SWARM have always been great inspirations to me musically, and I was so excited to collaborate with them on our new song Fakebreaker!  It was so much fun getting to record a range of both heavy and melodic vocals to add to the awesome high-energy vibe of the track. I was absolutely stoked with how it all turned out!” – REEBZ

The music video plunges viewers into a dark, ominous cyberpunk world, playing out like a side-scroller featuring Klayton (Celldweller) and REEBZ navigating a high-stakes, video game-inspired dystopia. The project marks Celldweller’s first live-action music video in over eight years. Its intense, cinematic visuals amplify the track’s sense of chaos and rebellion, making the full experience both audibly and visually destructive.

Halloween With Klayton (Celldweller) Fun & Family Edition
October 28, 2025
Artist News, Artist Press, Label News
FiXT Music, Label News

As the crisp autumn air rolls in and the shadows grow longer, Halloween arrives: a night of eerie thrills, candy-fueled chaos, and the perfect soundtrack for the macabre. Few artists embody cinematic darkness and futuristic dread like Klayton, the mind behind Celldweller. From crafting industrial soundscapes to building entire story worlds through music, Klayton’s work has always thrived on atmosphere. This Halloween, we dove into both his family traditions and his musical inspirations for the season.

The result? A glimpse into the mind of a producer who balances high-tech horror, childhood nostalgia, and the chaos of candy duty.

Alright Klayton, real talk: do you get more excited about the tricks or the treats? (And yes, handing out candy counts.)

Definitely the treats.

In your house, does Halloween involve full-on decorating and themed playlists, or is it more “survive the sugar rush” with the kids?

There’s definitely a sugar rush aspect, which we try to keep under control as much as possible but it’s more about the kids picking out their  fav video game character costumes to run around in. 

If your studio became a haunted house for the night, which of your tracks would play in each room to terrify visitors in the right way?

Well my covers of John Carpenter’s “Halloween” & Charlie Clouser’s “Hello Zep” from the Saw franchise are good starts. “When Your Walls Fall” is sufficiently creepy. I’ve done quite a bit of stuff for my FreqGen project that are soundscapes that would be perfect to bring that “Someone’s going to jump out and eat my brains” vibe. 

Childhood flashback: what was your Halloween costume back then — and what would “Klayton in 2025” wear if you could go all out?

As a kid it was the cheapest stuff my parents could afford, so way less about who i was and more about being fortunate to have a costume at all. When I could choose, it was always Frankenstein’s monster, The Mummy, Dracula… The classic horror Monsters. I feel like in 2025 I’m always  in my Halloween costume 24/7/365 🙂

Family edition: do your kids get involved in your music projects for Halloween, or do they just claim the candy?

When candy is involved, everything else goes to the wayside (including music  – lol)

If you had to pick a monster to represent your music style — industrial, cinematic, and futuristic — what would it be? And what would its theme song sound like?

A Xenomorph embodies most of those elements for me. Again, “When Your Walls Fall” feels like a good theme song for an Alien stalking a Colonial Marine.

Halloween nostalgia check: is there a song, movie, or candy that instantly puts you in the spooky mood every year?

I really tied Flatliners to Halloween. The opening creepy choirs and Kiefer Sutherland’s opening line “Today is a good day to die…” just brings back all the Halloween feels. PS can never go wrong with a Reese’s product. Just sayin’ 🙂

Halloween nostalgia check: is there a song, movie, or candy that Build your ultimate “Celldweller Halloween Mix” — three tracks, any artist (including yourself), that absolutely have to be on it.

Ghostbusters. I mean really – who ARE you gonna call??

In the 80s, before the controversy it was Michael Jackson’s Thriller

Halloween – John Carpenter

You covered John Carpenter’s “Halloween Theme” – How did that come together?

Pretty quickly. Most times it takes me a while to bring a track into focus but that one was such a classic – I just heard immediately what I could do. I wanted to respect the track and at the same time bring my sound to it. I did that so long ago that if I were to do it again now, it would probably sound completely different. For me it captured a moment in time and I’m glad people still rock out to it.

Bonus fun: describe your ideal Halloween night in one sentence. Candy, chaos, synths, or all of the above?

Pretty quickly. Most times it takes me a while to bring a track into focus but that one was such a classic – I just heard immediately what I could do. I wanted to respect the track and at the There was a time when it would have been “Watching Flatliners with a bag full of Reese’s sticks in my hand.” Now it’s “Trying to stay awake through “The Nightmare Before Christmas” while my kids down handfuls of candy while jumping on my head.” Good times. 🙂

Halloween isn’t just about scares: it’s about creativity, storytelling, and shared experiences. Through the lens of Celldweller, it becomes a celebration of cinematic horror, musical innovation, and even the mundane chaos of family life. Whether Klayton is crafting a synth-laden soundtrack or making sure the little ones get their candy fix, it’s clear that the dark, inventive spirit of Halloween is alive in both his music and his home.

Circle Of Dust Releases Machines Of Our Disgrace (Definitive Edition) On 2-LP Vinyl
September 19, 2025
Artist News, Artist Press
Celldweller, Circle of Dust

Circle of Dust, the ‘90s industrial-metal project of artist/producer Celldweller, is back, releasing the anticipated 2-LP vinyl edition of Circle of Dust’s explosive 2016 comeback album, Machines of Our Disgrace out now from FiXT.

Originally released in 2016 after a nearly two-decade hiatus, Machines of Our Disgrace is Circle of Dust’s fifth full-length album and a powerful statement piece from Klayton, better known to many as Celldweller and Scandroid. The album marked a massive creative resurgence, fusing metal riffs, glitchy electronics, and raw industrial noise into a sound that’s equal parts nostalgic and forward-looking. 

Machines of Our Disgrace isn’t just music, it’s a brutal mirror held up to humanity’s accelerating descent into technological dependence. Across 13 core tracks, the album unpacks themes of transhumanism, biohacking, surveillance, dehumanization, and the blurred line between evolution and manipulation. Tracks like “Contagion” and the title track “Machines of Our Disgrace” explore our surrender to the machine and the consequences of automation and blind progress. “alt_Human” and “Neurachem” dive into the ethics of gene editing and synthetic enhancement. “Hive Mind” and “Humanarchy” challenge the illusion of individuality in a digitally homogenized world. On the hauntingly emotional “Outside In,” Klayton shifts gears, revealing a fragile, human core beneath the circuitry with acoustic guitars, layered harmonies, and cinematic sound design.

The album was unflinching, both sonically and lyrically, combining dark, aggressive, and energetic moods into a cohesive and cinematic listening experience. It’s a definitive work of industrial rock and a bold creative milestone in Klayton’s expansive career.

Now Machines of Our Disgrace is available as a 2-disc vinyl, featuring the full original album and an entire second disc of original new songs and remixes from Sebastian Komor, The Anix, The Plague, Zardonic, and Voicians. It also features the new singles “Invisible World” and “Digital Messiah” showcasing Klayton returning to his early 1992 roots of the self-titled Circle Of Dust album, taking inspiration from “Technological Disguise” – a nod to his earlier work.

Released today with the pre-order announcement, “Invisible World” is a defiant anthem that launches Releasing with the Vinyl is “Digital Messiah,” a relentless fusion of mechanical precision and raw aggression. Klayton’s signature blend of crushing riffs, glitch-laden electronics, and razor-sharp hooks creates a sonic assault that feels both futuristic and apocalyptic. Lyrically charged with themes of control, faith, and the rise of a false savior in a digital age, the track surges with urgency and atmosphere, perfect for fans of Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, and Celldweller. Its explosive chorus and cinematic breakdowns make it ideal for high-energy rock and metal playlists, while its cybernetic edge connects with synth-industrial and darkwave audiences. “Digital Messiah” isn’t just a song, it’s a statement, marking a powerful new chapter for Circle of Dust and primed to captivate both long-time fans and a new generation discovering the project for the first time.

Longtime fans will find themselves back in familiar mechanical chaos, while new listeners will be slammed by the track’s fierce modern production and unrelenting pace. It’s a track that doesn’t ask questions, it kicks down the door.

Zero Hour Has Arrived
September 27, 2024
Artist News, Artist Press
CANTERVICE, Fixt

Zero Hour is upon us! CANTERVICE has released their bombshell debut album, out now from FiXT!

CANTERVICE steps up with a dark vision of the dystopian future with Zero Hour. “We stand on the precipice of an era where the shadows of oppression grow larger with every passing day. The world as we knew it is gone. Someone hit the reset switch and there were those standing by waiting to take advantage of the chaos,” explains CANTERVICE. Using an electrifying fusion of metalcore, alternative metal, and hard rock, Zero Hour features ten metalcore/alternative metal tracks and is testament to CANTERVICE’s ability to blend fierce energy with intricate musical compositions. Tracks like “The Masquerade” have already amassed over one million streams across all platforms since inception. The album is packed with powerful anthems that push the boundaries of metalcore, alternative metal, and hard rock. With synthesizers, thrashing guitars, pounding drums, and driving bass lines, CANTERVICE delivers a relentless sonic experience that is both innovative and intense.

Singles like “Doomsday” produced, mixed, and mastered by RIAA Gold and Billboard charting producer/engineer Cameron Mizell, best known for his work with Sleeping With Sirens, Memphis May Fire, I See Stars, and The Word Alive set a high standard for the album. “What I love most about the album is the experience it provides,” explains Cam Mizell. “Robert & his team did a fantastic job creating a theme/vibe/world that the listener can immerse themselves in. Futuristic & perhaps post or pre apocalyptic themes are carried throughout the album in a way that tells a much larger story. A relatable story. As you listen through & connect with Robert’s lyrics, you really start to feel that you are living in the world of CANTERVICE. My goal was simply to catch that vibe & amplify it  Big thanks to CANTERVICE & FiXT for having me on this album! It’s been a pleasure front to back. Enjoy!!!” 

Other stand out compositions on Zero Hour include “Into The Dark” which portrays a character who descends into the depths of madness and isolation in a society on the brink of collapse; and “The Masquerade” which establishes its strength with a fierce layer of synthesizers, coupled with the thunderous rhythms, razor-edged guitar riffs, and brutal vocals; and alt-metal single “Blackout” described as an anthem for a rising generation picks up the dystopian-themed story from the citizens’ point of view. This debut album shines with CANTERVICE‘s unique blend of hard-hitting music and poignant lyrics, a perfect example of sonic story telling at its best. The band goes on to explain, “We’re now staring down the barrel of a future that threatens to annihilate our very humanity. We sacrifice privacy for convenience, freedom for the illusion of security, and our very lives are mirrored in cyberspace, available for anyone to exploit, whilst we’re too distracted by our modern vices to care. However, I stand before you to say that our destiny is not written in stone, but only if we stand not as victims, but as architects of our future. We must unite, and not under the banners that you see to the left and to the right, but as citizens of the Earth forging a new path together. Lift your heads and join us in bringing the dawn of a new era. We have worlds to win, and nothing left to lose. This is our new beginning. This is our Zero Hour.”

The complete track listing for Zero Hour is:

  1. Zero Hour
  2. Doomsday
  3. Blackout
  4. The Masquerade
  5. Into the Dark
  6. Point of No Return
  7. Artificial Minds

Dark. Cold. Aggressive. Beyond Unbroken’s latest single “The Madness” along with the release of a deeply intense official music video is a deep dive into the dark recesses of our own mind and the demons we find there. Beyond Unbroken proves beyond their extreme versatility in production whether it be a chilled-out single or over top brutality in this latest single. 

“The Madness” portrays a psychological struggle when the mind is in overdrive, succumbing to manic thoughts.”  

“The music video plays out a war within a dark, decrepit prison—a metaphor echoed through the lyrics “I can’t get out,” describing how the mind can become its own prison.”

Beyond Unbroken

Drawing inspiration from everything from horror movies, and life experiences culminated  in a music video and single that are a match made in mental hell. The prison effortlessly reflects a brutal metaphor for a one’s own personal prison. The low-tuned breakout guitar riffs, deep synthesizers, infused with orchestral elements serve to heighten the unsettling atmosphere from start to finish. “The Madness” is both versatile and undeniably a powerful message. In their own words, “I want listeners to understand that they’re not alone. We’re here for a short time, and the pain they feel is only temporary, facing and overcoming obstacles is essential and it is what makes us stronger, brighter days are ahead for you. We’re in this together.” Stay tuned as Beyond Unbroken continues to explore the human experience and pushing the boundaries of Metal and Rock. It’s 2024 and this is just a warm up.

The nature of the track underlines the themes of inner turmoil as The Plague seamlessly weaves elements of Metal, Metalcore, Alternative Metal, and Hard Rock into a tapestry of sound. Thrashing guitars set the fiery tone right from the start as The Plague unleashes a sonic storm weaving provocative lyrics and a brutal vocal performance delivering a thought-provoking backdrop to the track.

“This song is about addiction and identity confusion. The song is about how society with severe technology addiction creates unrealistic expectations combined with extreme relational distance.”

The Plague

“Man Machine or Beast” is a sonic manifesto that showcases The Plague’s mastery of diverse genres. This latest single is just the tip of the sonic iceberg for what’s to come later in the year from The Plague. Buckle up, 2024 is going to be wild.
