Celldweller Returns with New Single “Respawn”

Celldweller returns with “Respawn,” the second single from his sixth studio album GOD MODE, out now on all major DSPs from FiXT.

Level two begins now. Following the explosive debut of “Fakebreaker” feat. SWARM and REEBZ, Celldweller drops “Respawn,” the second single from his highly anticipated sixth studio album GOD MODE.

Built for those who keep showing up even after the system says no, “Respawn” detonates into a relentless collision of guitars, vocals, and Klayton’s signature industrial precision through a metal lens. The lyrics say everything: “I’ve died a thousand times, but I’m still here. Access has been denied, but I’m still here.” Equal parts metal powerhouse and modern rock, this is resilience without sentimentality, from an artist who has never needed permission to return to the playing field.

Klayton comments:

“Spending my formative years in the 1980s, gaming systems like the ATARI 2600 (I had the Sears knockoff) and ColecoVision were important and iconic to me. 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.”

Rooted in the gaming-influenced world of GOD MODE, “Respawn” captures something every player knows by instinct: every setback is simply another opportunity to rise, rebuild, and return more determined than ever. The album is loading, and the stakes are higher this time.
