To think the demo of this song was recorded 17 years ago - Celldweller - Ballzout (2005 Demo). After so many years, we can finally hear the final version that had to be matured over the years to come out of it with a final effect that would satisfy him. A bit like Circle of Dust, where after several decades we could hear new songs using old, unused samples.
When I first listened to Ballzout back in 2013, I thought that it had high potential for a full song I hoped to enjoy sometime in the future. I felt like a kid in a candy shop when I finally got to listen to its final form almost 10 years later.
IMO there were a couple of tracks with higher potential. take Blood From the Stone or The Way She Wants to Die. but this one definitely grows on me over time.
After listening to this a few times, it most reminds me of Symbiont from the debut album in terms of subject matter/lyrics and pacing. A heavier, modern version of Symbiont - - and that's not a bad thing! Also, those drum fills between verses are pretty much a copy of Pursuit of the Hunted from SVH Vol 1. Everyone notes that it's also a finalized version of Ballzout (demo), but ironically I always thought that Ballzout became Pursuit of the Hunted!
Loved Ballzout. I’ve listened to it and always thought at how great it was and it was only a demo. The drums and riffs and screaming was amazing. He makes the best driving music.
so many bedroom producers (myself included at one point) work for days and days to create something like what the first 10 seconds of this song sounds like.. then the rest of the track happens. i love it!
I love that you turned a demo into an awesome song but I cannot overlook that you only released 2 new songs into the album. I wish you made more songs but I understand that you are a father now and are in the process of moving constantly so no complain. I hope that you will find peace to create more awesome tunes! And don't forget that the kids are the most important investment in the future.
He moving constantly was the reason of the album being delayed multiple times since it was supposed to be released before pandemic. Honestly it would be better if he just scrapped the album and left the released songs as stand alone singles or waited and added more tracks because at this point waiting a month for just one more song it's kinda stupid lmao.
In fairness, releasing most of the songs from a new album before it's out isn't really new for Celldweller. It's true that Wish Upon A Blackstar had a whopping 8 other tracks upon full release, but he released songs early for that album as he was making it, and has done the same for End of an Empire, and now this album.
I've been listening to celldweller for many many years and before that Circle of Dust!!!! I've been listening and learning for over 30 years God bless you MAN 💯🔥👍
While this song might not top some of his other work IMO, and it does seem a mix of Eons and the early self titled, I still want Klayton to continue putting out these new ideas, strange twisted takes, forging new paths and sounds. Don't settle for rehashing, I won't call this rehashing, this is trying something else with what you have. Keep it up, I've followed Celldweller since the turn of the century, I'll keep watching and waiting.
Absolutely outstanding if I don't say so myself. Satellites is going to kick ass through and through. If we know Klayton, then the production and everything else about Satellites is going to be mind blowing.
@@robertjones9598 was looking for this comment haha. Understand it was a bit of a turbulent writing/recording schedule but releasing 90% of the tracks before the album release kindof takes the excitement out of it..
@@theempressrotsinthesun Blackstar was meant to be 10 songs originally. I could get with the chapters release. 2 finished songs in five installments, with the album release being the final chapter essentially. But I'm scratching my head here. I'm going to file under "Life" and hope new music comes soon after.
@@theempressrotsinthesun I think the original tracklist was 1. LTW 2. TBIGG 3. Eon 4. Sentiment 5. Lucky 6. Tainted 7. Can't Wait 8. Gift 9. Blackstar 10. Against The Tide. (And Birthright which we'd already heard). Then a bunch of extra songs got added. With only 8 songs on this one, I doubt he'll do an alternate continuous mix, even the artwork seems to be hinting strongly at a stripped back affair.
The song as the whole makes much more sense than I have anticipated from the teaser. I love it! (teaser was also cool) 2000's - bring it on! A music video in early 2000's style would fit this song perfectly.
Dude just looked at I Prevail and 5FDP releasing their albums and said “hold my beer.” Absolute fucking banger, my dude. I don’t think you’ve released a single bad song across your entire saga of projects.
Been a while since I've heard some new Celldweller. Congrats on the new album. Can't wait to hear the rest. This sounds awesome. I love the sway on the guitars on that one riff, this is so great! 🔥
I'm listening for the first time, every time clayton says bleeding from our hearts, I want him to throw the word broken in before heart lol. anyway. good work! I already can lay this song over a subsection of circumstances in my personal life. Thanks for sharing!
Here he comes with another fucking fire album. Been listening since your Debut album, dude. So glad you're still enjoying your music career!!! Many blessings!!
This one almost got pass me ... solid track ...checks all of the boxes WITHOUT succumbing to the temptation to add standard safe parts to gain fans and please the suits at the record lables !
@@toshineon I wouldn't say quite, since it undermines the amount of effort both quality and quantity he creates in order to create music. As a one man he sounds as if he's a band but far better
Freaking awesome! Love it! It has so much matching the world right now at least for me. Get away from these soul parasites! Can't wait to listen the whole album up and down!
Finally good early Celldweller is back!!! Electrometal & electrorock is the key. Even if the sound is similar I don't know why but your classic songs are so much better.

@@mrswoopie1206 Remember when he scanned all those droids? Chills
@@mrswoopie1206 Genuinely the only time I've laughed at a "Morbin Time" style meme.
This is truly one of the Celldweller songs of all time.

Take me back to 2000 with this heavy celldweller 🤘

The guitar track was giving me debut album vibes, too
Also thought Symbiont, more so from the lyrics. Relationships are a pita
It's actually more in line with One Good Reason, especially as Ballzout.
Not that I mind, One Good Reason is one of my favourite Celldweller songs.
Major Eon energy in this. I love it.
Really makes me think of Wish Upon A Blackstar, very strong "Eon" vibes and I really dig it. Can't wait for the release!
Me too.
Yeaah.. tell me about it. 😏
I think that is the same sample from "Eons" as the beat.

This song was amazing!!!
It was even better listening to it live with everyone 😁
This chorus would slap in a live concert performance as well
This new track is more like Celldweller feat. Circle of Dust
More agressive, more heavier and I freaking love it🤘
same
I definitely got a strong Circle Of Dust vibe to this song, and I fucking love it.
Love that the new albums goes into a direction similar to the first one, really looking forward to the album!
He has finally got it right. This is the Celldweller i know and love similar to the Debut in sound and precision and sound 🔥
EPIC

@@TheFriendlyBola Idk about that. 8 tracks clocking in at 42 minutes is longer than an EP.

Me too! 😀
i love how this album combines the classic celldweller styles with the newer ones. i am pretty Sure this will make everyone happy
Мастерски сделано, мастерски спето, самый любимый исполнитель - электронщик.
BALLZOUT MOMENT
Another banger of a song!
This stuff never lets me down
Keeps me going too
Wooo! I didn't see it coming!
Blow my ears out, uncle Klay!
im glad cellweller is just like he is , the charm hasnt gone
Celldweller and Battle Tapes release new music? What a time to be alive, this album is shaping to be really good, and heavy. Can't wait!
ya the 2000's aesthetics of celldweller are the most creative at all. Keep that Klay
Truly an Amazing video and Song 🎵🙌👏❤😍
Ahhh dude it’s been so long since a new full Celldweller album. I really really wanna hear some fresh CoD too one day, but this is still awesome
yes i want more new celldweller music
Yes, definitely new COD too!
New Celldweller track after such a long time! Let's GOOOOO!!!
Can't wait for the new album! So good to see you're back, Klayton

wooooo new celldweller

Nice song Celldweller is a very amazing music artist
The intro reminds me "EON" 🔥🎸🎸
Eon meets Symbiont! Love it!
Я сделал погромче и кайфанул. Каждый раз включаю новые треки Клэйтона с предвкушением, словно как ребёнок подарки открываю.
The song as the whole makes much more sense than I have anticipated from the teaser. I love it! (teaser was also cool) 2000's - bring it on! A music video in early 2000's style would fit this song perfectly.
Great idea to use spare material. It's always fun to hear some of the original stuff back on new releases.
Yeaaaaah!!! 🤘🤘🤘
i missed this vibe. its good
Very hard, melodic and brutal song Celldweller! 🔥💘
The changeups are CRAZY! 💯🤘😎
Dude just looked at I Prevail and 5FDP releasing their albums and said “hold my beer.”
Absolute fucking banger, my dude. I don’t think you’ve released a single bad song across your entire saga of projects.
This is awesome!
Always been a fan of Celldweller! First song I heard from them was Switchback, back when Klayton actually had his band together in the mid 2000s.
This Lyric video seems to have more production value than most Music videos out there!
Been a while since I've heard some new Celldweller. Congrats on the new album. Can't wait to hear the rest. This sounds awesome. I love the sway on the guitars on that one riff, this is so great! 🔥
Awesome!
Banger 🤘🤘🤘
Damm this song is so fucking awesome
Been listening to Celldweller since i was like 18. I'm 33 and glad the music is still going strong!
About time week got some actual celldweller on the celldweller channel. Anyway awesome track and can't wait for the new disc.
Ballzout [ Demo from '05 ] finished into Soul Parasites.
I'm listening for the first time, every time clayton says bleeding from our hearts, I want him to throw the word broken in before heart lol. anyway. good work! I already can lay this song over a subsection of circumstances in my personal life. Thanks for sharing!
I love it very very much ty klayton
КОД КРАСНЫЙ! КОД КРАСНЫЙ! Клейтон таки выпустил новый трек!
Теперь ещё лет 5 новый ждать
Amazing visuals, lyrics on point, and badass as ever. Thank you Klayton for another masterpiece.
Here he comes with another fucking fire album. Been listening since your Debut album, dude. So glad you're still enjoying your music career!!! Many blessings!!
Dig the chorus and odd harmonies in there and the unique vocal processing with the bass. Looking forward to the album.
This one almost got pass me ... solid track ...checks all of the boxes WITHOUT succumbing to the temptation to add standard safe parts to gain fans and please the suits at the record lables !
Reminds me of Eon which is one of my favorite songs ever 🔥
This is absolutely incredible! Looking forward to the new album!
Now my day feels less shitty
Hope the rest of the days will feel even better than this one:)
OMG!!! What amazing feeling to hear that!
Can't wait to get my hands on this album.
It's been a long wait, but it's definitely worth it.
Found this band when playing through an old racing game recently. Glad to see they still make some good music.
NFS Most Wanted?
@@SavageCaliber22 Yeah, that's the one.
@@toshineon actually celldweller is just one guy
@@phiuzu5487 Oh, that's pretty cool.
@@toshineon I wouldn't say quite, since it undermines the amount of effort both quality and quantity he creates in order to create music. As a one man he sounds as if he's a band but far better
Sick! I can't wait to hear the whole album.
I mean you basically can. 7/8 tracks are singles so there's only one unreleased.
As always say you are my profit and this song so connected to my battles of my own corruption with in my mind of darkness.
Hoa, granny is rocking again, great news.
Pure talent...nice work ! 😮
Freaking awesome! Love it! It has so much matching the world right now at least for me. Get away from these soul parasites! Can't wait to listen the whole album up and down!
New months, new favorite track to listen to on repeat.
Nice! Thanks a lot klayton :)
Truly amazing IMO!
The final form of Ballzout. Nice
CELLMATE FOR LIFE
Now this song kicks freakin ass! Your my boy Blue! Top notch production with hooks! 👍
This feels a lot like eon! I like it!
Was gonna say hell yeah, but maybe cell yeah would be more appropriate
Finally a good funny comment. Thank you.
whoa!
Never changing Celldweller
Long have I been waiting for this!
I'm so glad to have you back Klayton!
Satellites is going to be such a banger!
Great tone. Sounds great!☺😏🎧🎶🎶
Love that hook so much ❤❤
Awesome.. One of the best 3:36 min in my life ❤
HELL YEAAAAAHHHHH!
Clayton with another banger! 🔥
Words cannot explain how fucking raw & brutal 2:31 is. The low tuned guitar, the vocals. Entire track is fire, but WOW.
Yeeee babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Absolute BANGER
Boom.
Here's our new banger of the year.
first listen: eh its ok. i like his other stuff more.
100th listen: I'VE GIVEN EVERY PIECE OF ME TO YOOOU! I'VE DONE SO MANY THINGS I CAN'T UNDO!
Finally good early Celldweller is back!!! Electrometal & electrorock is the key.
Even if the sound is similar I don't know why but your classic songs are so much better.
Not just better they each felt ahead of there time, and each song felt revolutionary like music used to be. He's the last of his kind.
Yeah, but Scandroid tracks like Neo Tokyo are great as well
top tier songs as usually
Really like the beat change. Rock on dude!
This is awesome
Awesome
An awesome song!!
Понимаю, одобряю
AMAZING!!!
