Announcement: Celldweller To Release Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise Soundtrack

Celldweller is recording the official soundtrack for the highly anticipated Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise graphic novel. The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise Soundtrack will feature an all-new cover of Raziel’s Theme (“Ozar Midrashim”), original tracks, including a new song featuring Matt Heafy of Trivium, new original sound-design tracks with original game voice-over dialogue from the Legacy of Kain franchise, and remastered game scores. The record will be available on vinyl as part of the Kickstarter campaign for Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise, the first official new Soul Reaver story in two decades, since 2003’s Legacy of Kain: Defiance. The prequel graphic novel will provide new insight into the iconic Legacy of Kain lore.

“Respecting a revered franchise like Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is paramount,” Said Klayton, the co-founder of Bit Bot Media and the musician behind Celldweller. “As we breathe new life into this iconic series, my goal was to ensure that the new music evokes the same mood and atmosphere that fans have cherished, while also offering fresh, innovative elements. It’s a delicate balance of honoring the original and pushing creative boundaries to deliver a Celldweller experience that feels both nostalgic and new.”

Limited collectible vinyl versions including a Celldweller-signed picture disc vinyl with art by Ninja Jo of the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise Soundtrack will be available as part of the campaign, with the album releasing digitally at a later date.

Introducing: Bit Bot Media

Klayton and Joshua Viola Form Bit Bot Media and Announce Strategic Partnerships with Raven Banner Entertainment and FreakZone Games.

Klayton, the multifaceted musician known for his contributions to major motion pictures, TV, and video games including Transformers, Malignant, and Killer Instinct, and Denver Post bestselling writer and film producer Joshua Viola are forming Bit Bot Media, a cutting-edge multimedia company. The duo will spearhead the creation of original films and video games, along with a diverse range of licensed comics, music, apparel, and merchandise such as latex masks, toys, and more.

RAVEN BANNER ENTERTAINMENT

Bit Bot Media has forged a strategic partnership with Raven Banner Entertainment, a prominent indie Canadian film studio celebrated for its innovative genre films from around the globe. Together, they will collaborate on an array of ancillary offerings and film productions. Raven Banner’s recent productions include Steven Kostanski’s Frankie Freako, Nick Cutter’s The Breach, and the Shudder Original hit V/H/S/94. Some of the company’s releases include André Øvredal’s The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Keith Thomas’ The Vigil, Taiwanese zombie horror The Sadness, Gaspar Noe’s Climax, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead’s Spring, RKSS’ cult hit Turbo Kid, and Steven Kostanski’s PG: Psycho Goreman. As part of this partnership, Klayton and Viola will also serve as Executive Producers on Raven Banner’s upcoming productions: Steven Kostanski’s Deathstalker starring Daniel Bernhardt, alongside fellow Executive Producer Slash of Guns N’ Roses, and Deathgasm II: Goremageddon, the highly anticipated sequel to the cult horror comedy hit Deathgasm.

“Josh and I have known each other for 13 years and have worked together on a number of projects, including the Blackstar novel and score for my album Wish Upon a Blackstar, the music video for ‘Unshakeable,’ Josh’s debut novel The Bane of Yoto, the Unioverse video game franchise, and so much more. It seemed inevitable that we’d form a company to do what we love on a much deeper level with Bit Bot, with an emphasis on our passion for multimedia.”

Klayton

FREAKZONE GAMES

In the gaming sphere, Bit Bot Media is partnering with London-based FreakZone Games to develop original and licensed video game titles for consoles, PC, and mobile platforms. FreakZone Games is renowned for its work on Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures and Spectacular Sparky, and has led the design of Toxic Crusaders for Retroware and developed ports for Spark the Electric Jester 3 for Feperd Games. The first collaborative Bit Bot Media/FreakZone Games project will be Scandroid: Lost Horizon, a retro side scroller based on Klayton’s new Scandroid album, available in 2025. This game, featuring beat ‘em up action and platforming with a cyberpunk pixel aesthetic, will also include original music from Scandroid and be accompanied by a novella and comic co-written by Viola and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated writer Sean Eads.

“Klayton and I share an ambitious vision for Bit Bot, reflected in our corporate identity. Take our animated company video, for example. It’s not just a visual introduction; it’s a glimpse into Bit Bot’s future. Could this future include games, comics, toys, or even a film? Perhaps all of the above? Stay tuned. Just remember, at Bit Bot, we’re dedicated to building worlds, one Bit at a time.

Joshua Viola

INTO THE OUTLANDS

Bit Bot Media will be launching an original apparel line called Outland, with an emphasis on a science fiction aesthetic.

“I had no idea that making the debut Celldweller album 20 years ago would ultimately be the thing that would change the trajectory of my career. From every song being licensed to Film, TV, and Video Games, to worldwide tours, and launching my own record label, FiXT, which would go on to support the careers of 50+ artists over the last 17 years. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, we have curated the ‘Definitive Edition’ which includes a brand new remastering of the original album along with dozens of bonus tracks, rarities, remixes and re-imaginations of the original songs. 

To those who have been listening over the past 20 years, I truly appreciate your support and plan on making a lot more Celldweller music over the next 20. Stay tuned. :):” – Klayton (Celldweller)

The self-titled debut Celldweller album, released independently in 2003, achieved a number of accolades and awards, from Billboard charting to industry recognized song/producer of the year awards, to licensing every song from the album to major Film/TV/Video Game projects, and paving the way for Klayton to launch FiXT.

Thriving on originality, Celldweller cross-bred electronic styles such as Drum & Bass and Psy-Trance with modern Alternative Rock and Metal on the debut album.
