Celldweller Wish Upon A Blackstar Rarlab
Detroit-based industrial-metal musician Klayton started his most well-known project, Celldweller, in 1999 following the dissolution of his previous bands Circle of Dust, Angeldust, and Argyle Park. Celldweller's self-titled debut album, an ambitious fusion of trance, drum'n'bass, metal, and alternative rock, appeared in 2003 on Position Music/Esion Media after four years of production and delays. The album was well received by various online music communities, and eventually every song from the album was licensed to television shows, motion pictures, or video games.
The Beta Cessions, a double CD of remixes, demo versions, and instrumentals, followed in 2004. In 2006, Klayton started the independent label FiXT Music, which would release all of his subsequent recordings, as well as releases by other artists. While working on Celldweller's second proper full-length, Wish Upon a Blackstar, Klayton began Take It and Break It, a competition in which fans could remix Celldweller songs. The competition spawned several volumes of remix collections, which were released on FiXT. Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head, Vol. 1, an instrumental album intended for further media licensing, was released in 2008. Klayton began digitally releasing tracks from Wish Upon a Blackstar in 2009 in the form of two-song 'chapters.'

Both Wish Upon a Blackstar and Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head, Vol. 2 finally saw full release in 2012, as well as the concert recording Live Upon a Blackstar, also released as a Blu-ray/DVD. By this time, Celldweller's sound had evolved to include elements of dubstep, and was referred to as 'metalstep.' Celldweller's self-titled debut was given a tenth anniversary deluxe reissue in 2013, and Klayton began working on the next proper Celldweller album, End of an Empire, as well as Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head, Vol.
The first two chapters of End of an Empire, both full-length compilations with numerous remixes and instrumentals, were released in 2014, as well as the compilation Transmissions, Vol. The chart-topping third chapter of End of an Empire appeared in 2015, along with Transmissions, Vol. The following year, Celldweller joined with video game composer Atlas Plug for the soundtrack to Killer Instinct: Season Three, a reboot of the '90s fighting game.

In a late 2008 interview, he stated that: 'I would love to just tell everyone 'The album will be done by this date,' but I've learned my lesson on that one. It's hard to predict when it will actually wrap up. I can tell you that I am thinking about alternative methods of releasing this album altogether, but I won't say anything until I'm ready to commit. That always gets me in trouble.'
On March 9, 2009, Klayton announced that the album would be titled Wish Upon a Blackstar and he revealed the track listing on April 20, 2009. In contrast to the debut Celldweller album, where Klayton always tracked the vocals last, Wish Upon a Blackstar was produced vice versa: '[.] the process for this album is totally different than any other I've done.
So, that being said, I've recorded all the final vocals first. That has usually been the last step for me, but I wanted to put more of an emphasis on vocals on this album, so [co-producer] Grant Mohrman and I agreed that I would cut vocals first and build everything else around them.' Klayton later announced that he chose to break up the album into five Chapters, instead of releasing a standard CD album after all production has wrapped: 'I fully embrace the idea of releasing one song at a time.
Waiting years for a full album is cool and all, but times have changed. I can wrap a track in my studio and have it blaring out of your speakers literally the next day if so desired. I had some specific reasons I was planning on releasing [Wish Upon a Blackstar] as a full body of work, but I abandoned that a long time ago when I embraced just how much work I've created for myself with this album. I just don't totally feel right about releasing one song at a time for this album, but I have no intentions of waiting 'til I'm done with the whole thing either. So, I'm releasing the album in Chapters. [.] The fifth and final Chapter will be reserved for the CD, so both the artwork and the [.] remaining songs will be released for the first time on the physical CD'.
