The narrative focuses on "The Emperor", who is dealing with a failing civilization, brought about by conflict between "Pro-bots" and "Robophobes".

[5] Production of the album started around late 2012, almost directly after the release of Wish Upon a Blackstar,[6] and was formally announced in an update on February 26, 2013.

[9] A few months later, throughout July and August, three snippets were posted onto Klayton's Instagram,[10][11][12] they all come from the same song, "End of an Empire", that had been previously mentioned.

[13] Any further news on the upcoming album was sparse until August 6, when a series of images on Celldweller's Facebook page implied a new Celldweller release,[14][15] this was confirmed on the 12th when one of these images, which previously contained four empty imprints, was reuploaded, containing a blue emblem representing "Time", implying the new release would be split into four chapters, each with individual titles.

[23] On November 20, a teaser trailer was uploaded to Celldweller's YouTube and Facebook for Chapter 02 of End of an Empire, entitled Love.

[3] As an extra bonus, Klayton shed some light on the inspiration & creation of Good L_ck, Yo_’re F_cked: "Chapter 03 has probably been the most fun I’ve had making the album so far.

I was envisioning a song that would open the entire movie, including lyrics that applied to the premise of the film.

Then I reproduced the song from the ground up and it became a Celldweller track that naturally fits alongside everything else in the End of an Empire universe.

[4] [29] The five disc collectors edition contains the whole End of an Empire album, and all the tracks released on all four chapters, including the Factions, remixes and instrumentals.
