You may not be aware of it, but at some point you have heard the voice of Chester Bennington. He has shared stages with Paul McCartney, Jay-Z, The Doors and Alice In Chains. The same voice has collected a string of awards, four American Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, two Grammys and headlined stadiums around the world.
For Chester Bennington however, this is simply the tip of the iceberg. Stepping outside (but not away) from Linkin Park to his side project Dead By Sunrise has seen him reinvent himself. Out Of Ashes is the first album from this new project, bringing in Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh, formerly of Orgy and current Julien-K members, Brandon Belsky, Elias Andra, and Anthony “FU” Valcic -- Bennington gives fans a revealing look at the man behind the voice.
Throughout the 12-song collection, DBS move skillfully between the kind of explosive rockers Bennington is known for, such as the opening “Fire” and the frenetic energy of “My Suffering,” and some surprisingly tender moments, like the beautifully melodic, mid-tempo “Let Down” and the rhythmically hypnotic “Walking In Circles.” The album is out now, click here to watch the video: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid13590588001?bctid=41688495001
