Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head: Volume 01 is an instrumental-based (second overall) studio album by the American electronic rock project, Celldweller. It is the first album in the SVH series.
Background and production
While chronologically Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head Vol. 01 is the second studio album by Celldweller, it is not the second main Celldweller album; instead, the album is more of a side project.[4] When asked about whether SVH 01 is a second Beta Cessions release, Klayton replied that "[he] wanted to be sure that SVH 01 was a separate entity from the Beta Cessions material"[5]
SVH 01 is a production based album intended for film, TV, and video game licensing.[4] The album contains songs which were culled from the hundreds of demos in Klayton's extensive archives and represented work that he felt was not suited for a premier Celldweller album but rather for theatrical use.[4] Also, some songs were from the then work in progress and unnamed second main album sessions. The songs "Birthright (Beta 1.0)", "Narrow Escape" and "Through the Gates" are known to be from the sessions.[5][6]
According to Klayton, "La Puerta Del Diablo" was inspired by a trip to the place of the same name in El Salvador.[7]
