Celldweller releases new single ‘Respawn’ from ‘GOD MODE’
Celldweller releases “Respawn,” the second single from his sixth studio album “GOD MODE,” out now on FiXT with an official video and a Klayton quote.
Industrial rock act Celldweller has released a new single, “Respawn,” out now on FiXT. The track is the second single from Celldweller’s sixth studio album, “GOD MODE,” following the single “Fakebreaker” featuring SWARM and REEBZ.
“Respawn” combines guitars, vocals and Klayton’s industrial production through a metal lens. The lyrics run: “I’ve died a thousand times, but I’m still here. Access has been denied, but I’m still here.”
Gaming culture shapes ‘GOD MODE’
Klayton built “GOD MODE” around gaming and game culture across different eras. “Spending my formative years in the 1980’s, gaming systems like the ATARI 2600 (I had the Sears knockoff) and ColecoVision were important and iconic to me,” he stated. “Those memories sparked the concept for my new album GOD MODE, an album revolving around gaming and game culture across different eras, which makes the concept of my next single ‘Respawn’ self-explanatory. I was inspired to throw elements of metal, industrial and punk-rock into a blender to see what would spawn. Lyrically it’s a reminder to myself that even when things seem dire, hopeless, or fatal, I will respawn.”
“Respawn” is available now on all major streaming platforms from FiXT. A “GOD MODE” Season Pass with bonus tracks and early access to upcoming singles is available exclusively through EVEN.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
