Why can't there be more people who combine Metal and Electro like Blue Stahli and Celldweller do? This is so awesome, but there's so little of it!

This song still lives even after 6 years

This is the first song made by Celldweller I've ever heard.

"A start, an end, a rise and fall No system eternal and no one immortal Creation, all must end in destruction We cannot change the fate of civilization" so fucking hard bro

I never intended on falling for Klayton. I don't even listen to electronic music per se. But I am so on the same wavelength as this guy. I just love this album and the book soundtrack. This is the most underrated artist I've come across

I have been playing End of an Empire songs for a while in the car with the kids. On a school assignment, my 10 year old daughter listed 'End of an Empire' by Celldweller as her favorite song.

Lyrics (corrected by Dmitri Leontev): At the edge of the hellfire It's the end of an empire In the line of the gunfire It's the end of an empire Again, again, again It's the end of an empire A start, an end, a rise and fall No system eternal and no one immortal Creation all must end in destruction We cannot change the fate of civilization Start, end We build up the symbols of power Rise, fall Constructs of a mortal mind Life span Conquer in our brightest hour Mortal But then we all must fall in time Through space and time We can't escape this paradigm At the edge of the hellfire It's the end of an empire In the line of the gunfire It's the end of an empire Again, again It's the end of an empire Time, love Kingdoms, each of us reigning Dreams, death Over the realms of our hearts and minds Space, mind Conscious that death is awaiting Sea, pit But even death will end in time Through space and time We can't escape this paradigm At the edge of the hellfire It's the end of an empire In the line of the gunfire It's the end of an empire Again, again It's the end of an empire In the death of a desire It's the end of an empire At the close of a lifetime It's the end of an empire At the edge of the hellfire It's the end of an empire In the line of the gunfire It's the end of an empire Again, again, again, again It's the end of an empire Again It's the end of an empire We're falling into the unknown Another ending that's beginning to unfold We're falling into the unknown (it's the end) Another ending that's beginning to unfold It's the end of an empire We're falling into the unknown (it's the end) Another ending that's beginning to unfold It's the end We're falling into the unknown (it's the end) Another ending that's beginning to unfold It's the end of an empire It's the end of an empire

so good

6:23 - 7:32 = complete eargasm. easily one of the best moments in any celldweller song ever.

so disappointed he was never called for Cyberpunk 2077...this one alone was a perfect fit. Ow well, loss for them.

2014 me: Wow, what a great song 2021 me: WE CANNOT CHANGE THE FATE OF CIVILIZATION

3:49 Scream + Electronic rock = Perfect to hear!!

I don't think Klayton can ever release a bad song. This is awesome.

add this to the list of things I didn't know I needed in my life

For some reason this just feels right listening to as a Rebel in Battlefront.

Searched Celldweller on Xbox Music, found this new album and loved it. Now I'm here on KZfaq to tell you: YOU F_CKING ROCK! KEEP UP THE GOOD MUSIC!

My god... masterpice.

1:15 - 1:38 The electronic/guitar is GODLIKE in this song. I love your songs Klayton!

I just recently found this guy. All the time I could have been listening to him but wasn't. My loss. He's so good.

empires rise and fall. war never changes.

2018 - still listening. Greets from Russia! ♥

To the people in the comments: Klayton likes for everyone to find their own personal meanings in the music that he makes, so there's no need to tell a fellow listener that they're wrong about what the songs meaning is supposed to be. Just let people have their own opinions, and please be respectful.

Celldweller has become my favourite electronic artist

That's the first song I heard from him years ago... Even now I can't seem to stop listening... I love it!

This band got the *music of the future* down love the fusion of rock/metal with electronics elements thrown in with this group

Those summer days of 2020 make me listen this track again.

It's amazing how after so many years I'm still not tired listening to this song

I was listening to this before I went to bed and it lulled me to sleep! 10/10.

Once upon a time, a sweet lovely woman named Wish Upon A Blackstar appeared. She was beautiful and graceful with sweet melodies that blended well and synths that could make a man drown in tears. Then before her appeared a gruff man named Celldweller (The Album). He was more rigged and based with drums and many riffs that felt sad and powerful, but he himself knew how to push through the pain and became great. They approached each other... fell in love... and had amazing wild sex. After nine months, this amazing child was born with both heavily well blended riffs and absolutely gorgeous synths. He was named... End of an Empire. Theeeeee end. ^^

1. ADD TO FAVORITES 2. DONE

I love how the song changes style

I love how this song goes from dramatic to basically The Cyber Grind (ULTRAKILL ost) with lyrics in a matter of seconds, this is beautiful

That moment when you get the idea of an animation when listening to a song... Only to remember you can't even draw a damn simple normal guy.

Now *THIS* is the Celldweller I knew and loved! Your debut was your best work, you've needed to come back to your roots for a long time. We've missed ya!

Thank you so much Klayton for creating this song, it is indeed the end of an empire. Although it’s kind of sad that this song reminds me of a game of mmorpg (like RF online) that I used to play with my friends a long time ago. Sadly, our game services didn’t properly reach their agreements with the server moderators and closed our favorite game. So we had to say our last goodbyes and close our game. But it was good to have an experience full of great memories and nostalgia.

Purchased this album when it came out, was building my own radio for my car and all I had to listen to was this album on my phone and a bluetooth speaker. Even after the 3 months of listening to only this album when commuting, I often still play it when working or at home. It's helped me get through some tough times. Thanks Klayton, I'd like to shake your hand one day.

Wow I can hear so many elements from the songs of his original albums songs, sooo nice to hear a return in some ways to the original, while still bringing new ones to the table

2:50 Time, Love. Both of the chapters names in the song. It is being hypothesized that the next chapter names are Dreams and Death because of the following lyric. Just a little interesting factoid.

1:17 these guitars are the reason why I keep relistening this track. They sound so damn sexy together

Time is the line for this song. All things must come to an end it seems. Which I held most dear, all things I loved. It lies in the past!

I don't know what it is about Celldweller, but his music is the only music that I can actually stand the screaming parts of.

I'm loving this combining metal and electric makes the music sound a lot better

Man I loved being a fan when this was just releasing. I remember clearly when Time released and I heard this song and I realised that it wasn't just celldweller and wish upon a black star. I knew Klayton will continue to only get better. You cannot descibe the feeling I had when I heard his song playing in Planetarium in Warsaw, Poland during a space show on planetariums celeing screen. An artist I loved for over a decade making it out of first internet, than gaming, then tv, and then even into the sciences. Insane.

blue stahli .nd celdwdller Best Electronic metal/rock music

Fucking legendary. The only place this music could have come from is Klayton's studio. Top work, man. Top work.

Yıllar geçtikçe ne kadar mükemmel bir şarkı olduğunu daha iyi anlıyorum

My grandfather told me about Elvis Presley My dad told me about Michael Jackson I will tell my son about Klayton

thank you nfsmw for showing me one of my favorite rock bands

This is the only exception when "jack of all trades" actually works. This is like 10 songs in one and it's working!

Celldweller songs are a whole experience

Still enjoying this piece after all this years, many things've changed, this song isn't one of them. Thanks Klayton.

I'm sat listening to Celldweller with a cup of tea. Oh how british of me lol.

Thank you Celldweller for always bringing us refreshing music from within your mind and the music scene in general. Your art never disappoints me.

When I hear this I often think of the end of the Galactic Empire in stars wars.

Klayton, i really love your music :D especially since its not all about love. no love songs here, just badass instruments and vocals that arent annoying! i love it!

Metalcore riffs and breakdown with the power of DNB...this...is...incredible :') Pure energy

I am not fan of electro music, but I must say, Celldweller is an amazing creative artist. Hands down

Normally when a band I like releases a new album, I tend not to like it at first, sometimes it grows on me and sometimes not but this is fantastic right from the first time hearing it. I think this album will be absolutely fantastic. :)

Очень атмосферно звучит! Мне нравится!!! Мечтаю добиться тех же успехов как и Celldweller.

By far his music style and sound designs are unique and must be heard! hope to hear more music like this. Stay awesome Celldweller!

this song is more relevant then ever, the 2020s will be the end of many empires, the future will be like nothing we can imagine...

It's 2023 and I'm still here vibin

Les chansons de Cell. me rappellerons toujours cette personne 🥰🔥🤘🏻

As someone whose favorite genres are DnB, Metal, Synthwave, this song hits all those notes

Celldweller is back. With a bang! This new track incorporates all the things I love about his music and also brings new elements to the table! I love how progressive it is! It's 7:30 minutes long and yet when I listen to it, it does not feel that long at all. I also like how there are different acts: a beginning, an interlude and an ending - helps in telling the story. It is a bit repetitive with all the "It's an end of an empire" lines, but, honestly, that doesn't really bother me at all. Overall, a great start of what would most definitely end up being a great concept album! Can't wait for the rest of the Chapter to release! Klayton will always do what he feels is right with his music and I wouldn't have it any other way!

This is so beautiful, it gives me a rollercoaster ride through my feelings. And those goosebumps all the time. Thank you Celldweller for such a masterpiece of music, it is really amazing.

ARGH! Why does no one know about this guy?! not even 300 thousand views?!?! EVERYONE'S heard his music (in movies and games), and his stuff is SO WELL produced, and diversified! I've been a fan of Klay since his Circle of Dust days, and followed ALL of his projects. love everything this guy touches. favourite artist BY FAR

This song is pure gold.

this song is TIMELESS ... wow just wow...

this was uploaded in my 2nd birthday and it still is alive

I have been searching for artists that scratch that musical itch for a LONG time...& I have finally found it. This genre is incredible!

I came to listen to this track many years later. I'm in tears, I grew up listening to his songs. Thanks for the childhood, Klayton🫡🥹

This gives me classic Celldweller vibes and i love it! Awesome!

absolutely amazing. Clayton outdid himself with this one!

I didn't think i'd love this style of music so much. I'm not much of a metal fan but this kicks ass! it really appeals to the dubstep side of me XD

I feel this song is more relevant today than in any of the years since it's been made.

I've been addicted to this for the past few days. Amazing job as usual.

celldwelelr is fire, celldweller is our empire!!

Klayton is one wicked bastard... :D There are parts of song where he divided 1st voice with 1st guitar and 2nd voice with 2nd guitar into separated stereo channels.

Holy cow, I rediscovered this song after like 3 years. Making me feel one heck of an emotion Edit: December of 2020 now. Once again rediscovering it. Nostalgia is hitting like a train, and I’ve got the song on repeat like I used to. Edit 2: March of 2024. I’m sure there’s a deep meaning behind this song circling back into my feed when it does. Definitely a throwback to different times.

This is insane!! Amazing Klayton so many different mixes of genre I love the chorus the most

XGRA had celldweller songs 13 years ago, but today i still play that game, listening this new song

No matter how long I've been a cellmate, I will always think of you as the Dead Rising guy.

This song is too damn amazing... I don't remember when or why I stopped listening to celldweller, but I'm officially putting an end to that unnecessary hiatus.

This guy is a GENIUS !

Super snail 🐌

This is not just lyrics or Genres or music, this is ART, deal with it Celldweller fan since 2003 and he did more epic and intelligent music then others in there whole career Klayton for President, greetings from Germany. Celldweller, keep going and push more

Masterpiece!!!! Celldweller Songs Are The Best Choice For Amv's!!

This is a million times better than I expected! I didn't pre-order this and it was very, very huge mistake which I'm gonna correct right now. Masterpiece!

Fitting how foreshadowing this song is.... Love it

This song never feels like it's over 7 minutes. Great job

From 6:12 its perfection klayton always keeps something special at he's end of the songs

Первое моё знакомство с этой группой началось с этой песни. Звучит очень не дурно. Электроника и метал наше всё

DreamHack Winter

The first song I heard from Celldweller. One of my favorite songs of the 2010's along with it being one of my favorite songs of this genre. What an introduction I got xd

Each song I listen to from any artist puts a scene in my head and takes me to other places and times and sometimes planets. This song....I instantly thought of and imagined the most badass lightsaber battle I’ve ever seen! Fast paced lightsaber battle with slo-mo mid battle showing close calls or incredible moves during the “rise,fall” synthesized voice parts. Perfectly synchronize an incredible lightsaber battle to this song and my mind will explode

Such a badass song.

So, I just found this... And it's amazing! I normally only listen to metal, but this is like a huge mixup of many genres... Awesome.

My all time favorite song , good words good music

The truth is I always liked these styles of rock and dubstep music, because at the same time they give you inspiration, in fact my channel is inspired by your CellWeller channel, with the music, animations and other effects and a group of COD players, I always liked it Your videos, the first day I saw this channel, was what inspired me to continue with my channel and the music hehe, keep your videos going teacher.
