Offworld is the fourth vocal studio album (Seventh overall) by electronic rock project Celldweller, released on July 28, 2017.[1] A change of style for Celldweller, the album focuses on emotional songwriting, marking a departure from the aggressive metal and electronic style found in his previous albums.
In January 2017, Klayton announced on Instagram that he was working on a new album (originally titled Offworld: Vol. 01), and posting a short snippet of music.[2] On March 27, Klayton tweeted that the new album was finished,[3] which marks the shortest production time of any major Celldweller release.
The first song from the album, "The Great Divide" was released on June 29,[4] and shortly after that, a cover of The Call's "Too Many Tears".[5] The album was finally released on July 28, 2017, including five original songs, as well as remixes and covers from Klayton's various projects, all reworked to fit the style of the album.
Talking about the inspiration for the album, Klayton stated:[6]
Mike Bax of PureGrain Audio gave the album a positive review with a rating of 8.5 out of 10, saying: "If there is such a thing as singer/songwriter exploration within the genre of electronic EDM music - Offworld is a prime example of how to do it successfully."[7]
