Chester Bennington Talks New Band Dead by Sunrise, Next Linkin Park Album

5/12/08, 2:57 pm EST

Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington debuted his new band, Dead by Sunrise, during an anniversary party for his tattoo parlor chain, Club Tattoo, at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona, on Saturday. “I wouldn’t call it a side project,” Bennington said before the show. “We’re a full, ready-to-go band and so this is something we take very seriously.” The band, which includes Bennington and members of the group Julien-K (which contains several members of Orgy), is a traditional rock outfit that is more straight-ahead and melodic than Linkin Park.

Speaking of his other band, Bennington revealed that Linkin Park has already begun writing the follow-up to Minutes to Midnight. He explained the band had “the itch” to start writing again and headed toward the studio. “We’re way ahead of the game,” Bennington said. “We’re not planning on releasing a record this year. We don’t know when it’s going to come out. But we just started working on stuff in the studio. I never want to get in the way of what Linkin Park is. That’s my baby. That’s my band. Those are my best friends. The last thing I want to do is compromise what we’re doing.” Bennington also said he hopes to have a Dead by Sunrise album out by 2009, barring other commitments to other bands. “I want to make sure the record gets the chance to do what it can do.”

All of your albums rock my socks off! Your concerts are even BETTER! LP can put on a show! I’m pumped Linkin Park is back in the studio for another album. Throw some nice heavy songs like Given Up and Sorrow. Those are Awesome. But the slow ones are great too.

john | 10/16/2008, 5:03 am EST

no more sorrow and given up rock but stick to meteora tpe guys.. more songs like points and qwerty would b awsum

Keep Moving Foward, LP! | 10/9/2008, 5:28 pm EST

We don’t want the old LP. That style of music is dead. Nu metal is over. Get used to it.

Sure those albums were awesome but if they did that again everyone would be like “do something new for a change” and they did do something new.

I think LP need to improve on MTM by making there more heavier songs.
But that’s IMO

lupis | 10/8/2008, 6:56 pm EST

linkin park es el grupo mas chido de todos

Linki park Man66 | 10/6/2008, 9:43 am EST

Hey Chester wats up man, I really enjoy all the Linkin park records, I love the variety and the different beats incorporated in every one of them, and I especially love the song Leave Out All The Rest from Minutes to Midnight, its melodic and really gets to the root of what the song is supposed to say, all I want to say is just keep making records and keep taking on new heights cause in my books you guys just keep geting better and better

awesome. MTM was pretty good. but i hope they go back to more of their old style. with rap or no rap. maybe have some really complex guitar playing and solos along with Hahns dj skills and Chesters awesome growling voice (hes da best). I can hear it now. LP4ever!

Eddy | 6/18/2008, 10:00 pm EST

Yeah aye, nu metal would be good. But they should keep pushing the boundaries like Avenged Sevenfold have been.
