On November 24, 2011 Klayton announced that he is going to release the full album on March 27, 2012. [10] However, on February 14, 2012, the album was delayed to May 22, 2012, due to a new deal with a distribution company which "needs the extra time to prepare the CD for release in stores". [31] The album will not only be available at FiXT Store, but at every major digital retailer and in North American retail stores as well. Wish Upon a Blackstar with 16 full tracks, will be available as a digital download, a standard CD, and a 1000-count Limited Edition CD run.

Pre-orders of Wish Upon a Blackstar were scheduled to go live on March 27, 2012, the same time when the Live Upon a Blackstar Blu-ray DVD was set to be released. However, the Live Upon a Blackstar Blu-ray DVD was delayed first to April 17, 2012, then to May 22, 2012. [31]

The release date of Wish Upon a Blackstar was moved again, to "a final release date in early June, 2012." This release date will not be changed, because it is "finally locked into place and not changing again". [32]

On April 2, 2012 Klayton posted a 20-second preview of "Blackstar", celebrating the completion of the album. [4]

On April 18, 2012 the final release date of Wish Upon a Blackstar was announced. The full album will be released on June 12, 2012, and the pre-orders would go live on May 4, 2012. The final album art and track list/sequence would be revealed when the pre-orders go live. There will also be a 2-CD Limited Edition version of Wish Upon a Blackstar, which features "the main album plus the instrumental version of the album". The radio edit version of "Unshakeable" was also announced which was released for free download on May 15, 2012. [1]

On April 30, 2012, Klayton announced that Wish Upon a Blackstar will be available as a "Deluxe Limited Edition" as well. It will feature a continuous mix and a "different sequence from main album release, with custom transitions & all." [33]

On May 3, 2012 pre-orders were delayed once again. It was stated that the "pre-orders will be launching 'soon'" and Klayton would show the final cover art of Wish Upon a Blackstar on the following day. [34] On May 4, 2012, Klayton posted the cover arts of the album. There are two different cover arts, one for the Standard Edition and one for the Deluxe Edition, the latter cover art completes the full five panel image. [35] The Deluxe Edition will be FiXT Store exclusive while the Standard Edition will be widely distributed in stores. [36]

On May 8, 2012 Klayton stated that the pre-orders of Wish Upon a Blackstar are set to go live on May 15, 2012.

The album was met with mostly positive reviews from music critics. Miranda Yardley from Terrorizer stated that: "You cannot begin to accuse Celldweller of being a one-trick pony and on the other hand, each track is distinctly their work. Klayton is a true musical mastermind of the 21st Century." [48] Gregory Burkart from Fearnet praised the album, stating that "Wish Upon a Blackstar is an impressive example of Celldweller's evolutionary skills – adopting, adapting and rising above the genres that play a part in it." [46] Pär Winberg from Melodic.net praised the album as well: "new album is amazing and real damn good. It is more synth and electronica than the previous work, yet also more progressive. And raw. And melodic. And, incredibly well produced and well performed". [47] In a less positive review, Fred Thomas from Allmusic said that "While the heavy production sounds by turns crisp or brutalizing, even the most exciting moments can't save the album from its cheesy lyrics and played-out musical choices, which are as abundant as its moments of legitimate excitement." [45]

Outtakes from the Wish Upon a Blackstar sessions

Between forty and fifty songs were demoed in the writing sessions for Wish Upon a Blackstar. Klayton explains:

"I approached the new Celldweller disc differently than any other album I've written. I just focused on writing songs I liked, and not so much on the ear candy and production as much – that would come later. So I ended up with almost twice as many songs that didn't make the new CD than ones that actually did make it." [7]

Klayton has stated that many of these songs that did not end up on the album proper will make up the bulk of a second official Beta Cessions collection:

"In fact The Beta Cessions II (when I ever get around to working on those tracks) will be primarily new material and not a bunch of remixes and alternative versions of songs from the sophomore Celldweller album". [7]

Based on the song titles mentioned in interviews and news postings, the following songs are known to be outtakes from Wish Upon a Blackstar:

No.TitleLength
1."Uncrowned"4:26
2."Shapeshifter" (feat. Styles of Beyond)3:37
3."Tragedy" (Bee Gees Cover)3:48
4."The Way She Wants to Die" (2005 Demo)4:48
5."Blood From the Stone" (2005 Demo)3:01
6."Waiting" (2005 Demo)4:23
7."IRIA" (2005 Demo)4:22
8."Molasis"TBA
9."Atmospheric Light" (2004 Demo)3:14
10."06-06-06" (2006 Demo)2:59
11."Waiting For So Long" (2006 Demo)1:32
12."Spacestation" (2006 Demo)2:41
13."Buzzsaw" (2006 Demo)4:04

"Uncrowned" was written in 2000 [49] and is actually an outtake from the debut Celldweller album that Klayton has claimed would appear on or with the second album. It was finally released with the re-issue of the debut Celldweller album on June 10, 2013. [50] [51] Two singles released in anticipation of Wish Upon a Blackstar, "Shapeshifter" and "Tragedy", did not appear on the album [52] and also ended up on the Celldweller re-issue.

Groupees promotions

On May 4, 2011, Atmospheric Light was released on the Groupees Unreleased EP in a 72-hour exclusive sale on Groupees after reaching the goal of $6,000 [53] and on October 26, 2011, Klayton released it as a free download for reaching 100,000 likes on his Facebook profile. [54]

On October 26, 2011, it was announced that a demo of "IRIA" would be released if the Groupees Halloween Trick or Treat charity event earned over $5000. If it earned more than $10,000, then an acoustic version of "It Makes No Difference Who We Are" would also be released. [55] In the end it reached the $5000 goal and "IRIA" was released on November 1, 2011. [56]

On October 26, 2012, another Groupees campaign was launched. [57] On November 14, 2012, at the end of the campaign, donors unlocked a new 3-song EP, Groupees Charity Fundraiser, with demo songs that were intended for Wish Upon a Blackstar. These songs were "Waiting (2005 Demo)", "Blood From the Stone (2005 Demo)" and "06-06-06 (2006 Demo)". [58]

Beta Cessions (Demos Vol 01.)

On December 23, 2011, the Beta Cessions (Demos Vol 01.) EP was released featuring "IRIA (2005 Demo)" and both the vocal and instrumental versions of "Atmospheric Light (2004 Demo)" [3]

The demo songs released during the Groupees promotions will be re-released on the second disc of the 2-CD Deluxe Edition of the Celldweller Debut Album 10th Anniversary Re-Issue. [49]

Demo Vault

In February 2014 Klayton started a YouTube series, "Demo Vault", through which he could release Celldweller-related demos, [59] it is through this series that "The Way She Wants to Die" was released, as well as two more previously unknown outtakes, "Spacestation" [60] and "Buzzsaw". [61]

All three were formally released on May 30, 2014 as part of Demo Vault Vol. 01 . [62]
