Dead by Sunrise

Dead by Sunrise on projekt Linkin Parki laulja Chester Benningtoni poolt, kes soovis teha omas stiilis albumi, kus ta laulab neid laule, mida ta ise on loonud ja mis iseloomustavad just teda. Teda aitasid selle projekti juures endised Orgy liikmed ning bändi Julien-K liikmed.

Täpsemalt saab lugeda Dead by Sunrise kohta DbS LPE infoleheküljelt ning ka LPE foorumist.

Arvamus

Album meenutab natukene Linkin Parki albumit “Minutes to Midnight”, kuhu on juurde lisatud rohkem kitarri riffe ning süngemaid toone. Enamuste laulude puhul ei paista eriti Chester Bennington oma karjumisoskust üles näitavat, vaid üritab laule meloodilise rockina esitleda. Sellega on ta garanteerinud iga laulu mõtte jõudmise kuulajani. Kuulajale, kellele meeldib meloodiline lihtsustatud klassikaline poprock, kus põhirõhk on lüürikale, on Dead by Sunrise “Out of Ashes” just neile. Endal on veel lemmikum laul välja valimata, aga see võiks olla laulude “Fire”, “Too Late”, “Into You” seast.

While some of us have been eagerly awaiting the next installment to the Linkin Park saga, vocalist Chester Bennington has been playing gigs on the side with his new side-project Dead By Sunrise. Some may be familiar with Julien-K, an industrial/electronic band that got recognized on the first Transformers soundtrack a couple years ago. Basically, Dead By Sunrise is what Julien-K becomes when Chester sings lead vocals with the rest of the band. While working diligently on the next LP recording, Bennington and the boys put together their first album, titled Out of Ashes.

Immediately you’ll recognized Chester’s impressive singing voice, and how he’s not straining as much as he usually seems to do when he’s performing with Linkin Park. The Dead By Sunrise album has a certain Minutes To Midnight feel, especially many of the ballads. There’s a certain harder rock feel than the ballads from LP’s previous effort. I was expecting more technical and electronic sounds in the DBS album, but the rock that is presented works for the band. A few standout tracks include the current single “Crawl Back In” which is probably Bennington’s most reaching vocal track, screaming included. “Fire” is a solid intro to the album, while the three hardest songs on the album (“Inside of Me”, “My Suffering”, and “Condemned”) don’t clock in at much over two and a half minutes. Shortness aside, the tracks are solid and have a certain Linkin Park feel, like a b-side from Minutes To Midnight, without Mike Shinoda singing backup.

Bennington proves himself to be an even better vocalist than he lets on, and it will be impressive to see him add some Dead By Sunrise elements into the next Linkin Park record, which is bound to happen. To be honest, it’s odd to see such an established front-man take on another persona, but Bennington pulls it off pretty well. Some of the songs can take on a rather monotonous tone, like “Give Me Your Name” which is too long for its own good, while “End Of The World” has a great synth-rock beat, proving to be one of the best tracks on the 13-track album. Even if you’re not a Linkin Park fan, this release is one to check out and give a chance.

I know I blogged about my boys Julien-K just a few weeks ago, but I’m gonna do it again. Get used to it, because as I’ve mentioned before, these boys own my soul and I slave work for them, for free.

I’ll make this quick and painless, I promise.

So here goes! My boys are on tour! Weee! This is pretty much the only payment I get from these boys, and I consider myself PAID. IN. FULL. after every show I see because they are UHHHH-MAAAAY-ZIIIIIIINGAH!

Click that nice little picture up there and check out the tour dates and ticket info on Julien-K’s MySpace page. (As far as I’m aware, tickets are available through TicketWhore, I mean Ticketmaster as well as available at the venue box offices.)

Tickets are reasonable (when not using TicketWhore of course), and you’re in for a great effin show!

P.S. If anyone is going to the June 30th West Springfield, VA show, hit me up and we could meet up! It’s possible that I will be the only girl there wearing a neck brace. And yes, it will be stylin’.

P.S.S. Yes, I friggen hate TicketWhore with a passion. You end up raped in fees! Oy, I had a lot more typed here before I realized… this is a whole ‘nuther blog… so TO BE CONTINUED…

…..I know ya’ll want me to shut up now….

If the phrase “Death to Analog” rings a bell, it’s probably because February 17th of this year brought in the death of analog television. It’s also the name of the debut album of Julien-K, which was originally set to be released that same day (but was instead released on March 10th). Check out this great album review for more details.

Julien-K began as a side project for Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck from Orgy, and now includes Anthony Valcic, Brandon Belsky, Chester Bennington (of Linkin Park), and Elias Andra. According to myspace, they are “a remixing and production team, as well as two live bands – Julien-K and Dead by Sunrise”.

Check out their provocative “Kick The Bass” music video, “a hypnotic cornicopia of bondage, masochism, and cannibalism“, which was released on 2/27/09 (the original album release date) on playboy.com’s cyberclub.

Good stuff right? Now you can throw your own style into the pot. Remix “Kick the Bass” here. The winning remix will be featured and available for download on JulienK.com and JulienK’s MySpace, and the winner will receive a signed guitar from Julien-K!

But my friends took this video last night.

You can check it out on my tumblr account  here.

The much anticipated Julien-K album is out NOW. I am listening to my copy via an ACTUAL PAID FOR ITUNES DOWNLOAD and even though I heard a lot of this before it was mixed or whatever, can I just tell you, I’m giddy?

And the people behind this band are good people. Amazing good friends who I respect and love and I would love it very much if you would buy their record. (or you can just grab it via Itunes like I did, 9.99, can’t beat that with a stick)

This concludes any bit of excitement I had this week…. carry on.

CONCERTS I’VE ATTENDED:

August 29, 2007, Holmdel, NJ @ PNC Bank Arts Center ~ PROJEKT REVOLUTION ‘07: Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, HIM, Placebo, Julien-K,  Mindless Self Indulgence, Saosin, The Bled, Styles of Beyond, and Madina Lake – 14 straight hours of hard rock, bitches.

September 22, 2007, Elmira, NY @ Elmira Hibernian Center ~ ELMIRA IRISH FESTIVAL ‘07:  Town Pants, Pat Kane, Brian Hyland, West O’Clare, Bryan Kane

This list? It will grow. It will thrive. It will be HUGE, and it will be beautiful.

Julien-K has some pretty heavy experience. The founding members of Julien-K started in the band Orgy, and started J-K as a side project, but it has evolved into something much, much more. I first heard of Julien-K when they toured with Linkin Park in the 2006 Projekt Revolution tour, and I immediately fell in love with this incredible band. Their unique sound, incredible beats, fantastic lyrics, and AMAZING brand image were completely intoxicating.

Their first album, which has been nearly two years in the making with a seemingly limitless number of delays, titled “Death to Analog” is now available for pre-order on Metropolis Mail-Order and will be released on March 10th, 2009.

With two years of solid promotion and prime slots on tours and soundtracks, Julien-K are ready to unleash their debut full length LP, Death To Analog through Metropolis Records on March 10, 2009. A limited edition version of the album will include a bonus disc titled Death To Digital, featuring remixes of album tracks by such electronic luminaries as Paul Oakenfold, Deadmau5, She Wants Revenge, Photek, among others. The brainchild of two of the founding members of the platinum selling group Orgy – Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck, these rockers fuse elements of dark electronic club music with styles of modern rock and pop. Julien-K fill a void that exists between genres without leaning too heavily in any direction. “Why is there no band that’s really rocking my world,”asks vocalist Shuck. “Where are the revolutionaries? I haven’t seen any bands stirring that up, bringing a new look, a new everything, kids buying guitars because they want to sound like that band. With Julien-K that’s what I’m going for. I want to start a movement “a new religion.”

JULIEN-K

Joined by drummer Elias Andra and studio collaborator and cohort Brandon Belsky on keyboards and vocals, Julien-K push the boundaries of what traditional electronic music is supposed to be. Their debut album Death to Analog introduces listeners to a world where technology is fused with artistic expression in a way that has not been attempted before. Creating quite a thunderous stir on tours with Evanescence, Mindless Self Indulgence, as well as a mainstage slot on Projekt Revolution alongside Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Placebo, Taking Back Sunday and HIM, the band had been planning and plotting their international rock overthrow for quite a few years now. The band also appeared on the soundtrack to the hit film Transformers (incidentally, the band are currently scoring and composing the music for Transformers 2 videogame, due out in Summer 2009).

Breaking into the mainstream through their previous band Orgy whose #1 crossover smash, a cover of New Order’s “Blue Monday” that was both ubiquitous and credible, Julien-K have taken the aggrotech of their previous band and immersed it even deeper into synths and electronics. “We are this sort of hybrid of an electronic band and a rock band, which Orgy was as well, but we’re actually skewed more electronic,” Amir says. “I think deep down inside we really felt that we had always wanted the band to go in the direction of what we’re doing now,” says Derakh. “That was the initial thought behind Orgy – to become an electronic band that could play on the same stage with the likes of Linkin Park, Korn, My Chem – real rock bands – and hold our own,” Shuck adds.
Executive produced by Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) and mixed by Tim Palmer (The Cure, HIM, U2), Death To Analog provides a sweeping landscape of musical influences and themes that pull the listener into their world on first listen. From expansive epicness of “Forever” that harkens mid-era Depeche Mode coupled with a futuristic center, to the deconstructed quasi-cover of Romeo Void’s “Nvr Say Nvr”, to the swirling synthpop of the first single and video “Kick the Bass”, this debut sounds both eternally familiar but completely new and refreshing.

“We are trying to say something, we are trying to change things, we are trying to take performance to another level, we are trying to integrate technology in a way that no one ever has, we are trying to continue to write great songs, we are trying to write hooks and have great choruses, we are trying to talk about real life, our lives, situations, things that people can actually identify with, real life, love, relationships, all the things that I used to love in music,” Shuck says. “We are trying to keep passion in music.”
