Badass Baritone is disambiguated


* BadassBaritone: Surprisingly enough, he has a pretty solid low range, though it's mostly reserved for backing vocals, but sometimes they come through clearer than the vocals they're supposed to be backing.
** "Afraid This Time" is the best example:
-->''"Leave me if you want\\
'''You can't hurt me now'''"''
** "Into the Fall" uses a lot of the deeper backing vocals from "Embracing Entropy".

* HypocriticalHumor: One episode of Ask Klayton has him talk about not wanting to drop the f-bomb too much in his music. He then drops a literal f-bomb, which leads him to dropping a verbal f-bomb.

Covered on this page are also Klayton's other current music personas: ''Circle Of Dust'', a predecessor to Celldweller which tends to focus more on pure IndustrialMetal, which was abandoned when he had a falling out with his label and revived in 2016 after he got the rights back. ''Scandroid'', a UsefulNotes/{{Synthwave}} project. ''Freq-Gen'' and simply ''Klayton'', described as "musical playgrounds", basically used for stuff that are somehow even more experimental than ''Celldweller''.

** Taken UpToEleven when the full version of ''End of an Empire'' includes a remix of one of its songs, Jericho, by... Circle of Dust. His other project whose last album was in 1998. Excusable since [[https://youtu.be/W8EieWg94Eg?t=2m31s he bought back the rights to all of its albums.]] Yes. [[HesBack Circle of Dust is back.]]

* ReclusiveArtist: [[Invoked]]: Klayton describes himself as one. He doesn't keep up with the news or own a television set, although he still maintains good relations with his fans, so he really [[SubvertedTrope isn't]]. He hates the traditional method of touring, which combined with his reclusive nature is part of the reason why he didn't tour for a very long period of time and has rarely performed shows since 2011.

Celldweller's music is incredibly diverse and multifaceted, and is commonly described as a fusion of HeavyMetal, trance, drum and bass, {{dubstep}}, and {{industrial}}, with [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly elements taken from many other heavy music genres]]. The project has also been classified as NuMetal and gains its pride as one of the {{Ensemble Darkhorse}}s of the genre. Celldweller's music has frequently appeared in television shows, movies, and video games, more prominently appearing in ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'', ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'', and the 3rd season of ''[[VideoGame/KillerInstinct2013 Killer Instinct (2013)]]''.

* GenreMashup: Frequently described as a metal artist who draws inspiration from the most abrasive electronic music genres ({{Drum and Bass}}, {{Dubstep}}, [[{{Industrial}} industrial, EBM]], [[{{Trance}} hard trance]], HarshNoise, IDM, and similar genres), though from song to song, Celldweller can [[GenreRoulette vary between any combination of these genres]]. Fans usually classify him under AlternativeMetal and NuMetal, though his music sounds very little like the established stereotypes.



** Scandroid definitely counts as this, being a UsefulNotes/{{Synthwave}} project instead of Circle of Dust's aggressive IndustrialMetal or Celldweller's [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly unpredictable musical maelstrom]].
