Chester Bennington may have found global success with Linkin Park, but just one day after the release of his new band’s debut album Bennington pumped New York City’s Blender Theatre full of rock mayhem. Out Of Ashes is Dead By Sunrise’s debut album, and on it Bennington also performs guitar and keyboard.

“I came up with the band name because in the beginnings of making this album, I was partying … we’ll call it partying. It wasn’t much fun, but we partied a lot.
