Now what I see, is what I get,

It's too late to look back,

I've got no way to switchback,

It's too late to look back ain't OK I've got no way to switchback! "Switchback" I've made a choice, that I regret,Now what I see, is what I get,It's too late to look back,I've got no way to switchback,It's too late to look back ain't OK I've got no way to switchback!

Celldweller is an award-winning American Heavy Metal/Electronic Music project, formed in 1999 in New York City, but now based in Detroit, Michigan. The project was formed by multi-instrumentalist, DJ and Record Producer Scott "Klayton" Albert, who was once involved in several electronic music and Industrial Metal projects, most notably Angeldust, a collaboration with renowned illusionist Criss Angel. To date, the project has spawned six studio albums, nine EPs and several successful singles.

Celldweller's music is incredibly diverse and multifaceted, and is commonly described as a fusion of Heavy Metal, trance, drum and bass, dubstep, and industrial, with elements taken from many other heavy music genres. The project has also been classified as Nu Metal and gains its pride as one of the Ensemble Darkhorses of the genre. Celldweller's music has frequently appeared in television shows, movies, and video games, more prominently appearing in Dead Rising 2, Need for Speed, and the 3rd season of Killer Instinct.
