While he's preparing for "Out of Ashes' " release, however, Bennington is also in the studio with Linkin Park working on the band's fourth album. Rick Rubin is again on board as co-producer, and Bennington says the group would like to have the set out by mid-2010 but "won't put anything out until we can pull a batch of super-stellar songs together."   [read the full post]

By JEN(noreply@blogger.com) CHESTER BENNINGTON , lead singer for multi-platinum, two-time Grammy-winning rock band LINKIN PARK, has put the finishing touches on OUT OF ASHES, the debut album from his new band DEAD BY SUNRISE. The album is tentatively scheduled for a fall release through Warner Bros. Records. The songs on OUT OF ASHES began to take shape during some downtime Linkin Park had before the band began recording their double-platinum 2007 album Minutes to Midnight. "I came up with a few songs that felt and sounded really good, but I knew they weren't right stylistically for Linkin Park," Bennington says. "They were darker and moodier than anything I'd come up with for the band. So I decided to work on them on my own rather than turn them over and have them transfor...   [read the full post]

By JEN(noreply@blogger.com) Check out some DBS articles at the following websites: MTV Metal Hammer Rock Sound There's a stylistic thing that's different. With Linkin Park, we have a signature sound — you know it when you hear us. [Dead by Sunrise] does not have that feel. It has a completely different feel. Trying to describe that difference is like trying to describe the difference between Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, you know? They're both rock, but they're different styles. I'm confident in saying this next record is going to be the most challenging ... and complex and intriguing music that has come out of the Linkin Park camp. It's really dark. It's like post-apocalyptic 'Blade Runner' meets LSD." -MTV   [read the full post]

Cossio's winning entry consisted of Linkin Park songs "Crawling" and "In the End." The biggest prize for Cossio was just to have a chance to see Linkin Park live. Cossio has been a fan of Linkin Park since their break-out-hit, "In the End," came out in 2001. What appealed to me the most about Linkin Park's music are their lyrics. No matter what I'm feeling, there is always a Linkin Park song that vocalizes exactly that," Cossio said. Linkin Park will be performing at The Joint located in The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Oct. 6 for UNLV students only.   [read the full post]
