Untitled

Out of Ashes is the debut studio album by American rock band Dead by Sunrise, the side project of Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and members of Julien-K. It was released on October 13, 2009 through Warner Bros. Records.

History

Out of Ashes was originally slated for a 2006 release, when the group was still known as Snow White Tan. It was soon pushed to an early 2007 release, but due to his commitments to Linkin Park, Bennington held the record off indefinitely. The Pulse of Radio posted that Bennington's solo album was still in production and would be finalized in the spring of 2008.[9] At this point, Bennington described in an interview with Rolling Stone that he hoped to see the album released in 2009.[10] He also said in an interview with Orange County Register that he would be working on the record while simultaneously writing Linkin Park's fourth studio album.[11] The album's first single, "Crawl Back In" was released on 18 August 2009.

As well as singing, Bennington also performs guitar and synthesizer on the album. All extra instrumental, programming and production was undertaken by Julien-K members Amir Derakh, Ryan Shuck, Brandon Belsky, Elias Andra, and Anthony "Fu" Valcic.

Release

In the summer of 2009, the official name and release date for the album was announced. Dead by Sunrise went out on tour with Linkin Park during August, promoting Out of Ashes by playing three songs ("Fire, "Crawl Back In", "My Suffering") every show during Linkin Park's first encore break. The first single from the album, "Crawl Back In", was released for download on August 18, with an accompanying music video released on September 8. The entire album was uploaded to the band's official MySpace profile on October 9, just four days before the official release. The album reached spot #29 on the Billboard 200.

Promotion

On October 13, 2009, the same day as the album's release, Dead by Sunrise made their first television appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. The band also performed on October 21, 2009 on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

After its release, Dead by Sunrise proceeded to tour throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, promoting it. On November 24, the second official single, "Let Down" was released, along with an accompanying music video. On January 28, 2010, the third official single from the album was announced being, "Inside of Me".[12] The fourth single is "Too Late".
