Dead By Sunrise: "Inside Of Me" next single?

I posted back in December that "Fire" might be the third single from Dead By Sunrise, because a single cover had been released. But according to the AOL Radio Blog, "Inside Of Me" is the next single. Both "Crawl Back In" and "Let Down" were announced the same way, so is it's a reliable source and is probably true.

I like "Inside Of Me", it's a cool song with a lot of energy, I gave it four out of five in my Blog review of "Out Of Ashes". I think it's a great third single, even though I thought "Fire" would have been a great third single also, but "Inside Of Me" is a song that not so many people has heard, so it's more "new" in a way.

Below is the statement from the site, this is not official until Chester or anybody else from Dead By Sunrise says so.

"Inside of Me" is Dead by Sunrise's new single off their October-released "Out of Ashes". Lead singer and Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington sings about self-pity and making a change: "I feel all alone everyday / And just so far away / I know something's got to change / Inside of me". Leaning more towards emo pop than post-grunge, the song is part of the group's debut album full of riff-driven tracks as well as melodic acoustic numbers.

This is a follow-up to "Let Down", a slower cadence and darker, moodier track about getting over past mistakes.

Dead By Sunrise: "Let Down" (music video) review

The seconds single from "Out Of Ashes" is a song called "Let Down", which I love, and the music video has just been leaked to the Internet. I like this video much better than the "Crawl Back In" music video. I like it because it's simple and shows great shots of Chester and the band.

The video has great visual effects also. The entire video is black and white with a red filter that gets brighter and that looks really great, it makes the video very dark and moody. The red represents the sun and you can see a circle in the background sometimes the same one from the DBS logo. Chester is also surrounded by the black fabric that you can see on the album cover and it's trying to suck the life out of him. Bits off the logo is also visible through out the video in different ways. You can also see a cameo from Chester's wife Talinda.

Overall: This is a awesome and cool video that I really love watching and the song makes a great seconds single from "Out Of Ashes" and a great second music video from Chester Bennington's Dead By Sunrise.

Dead By Sunrise: Out Of Ashes review

01. "Fire" XXXXX [5/5]
A beautiful song that touched me from the first time I heard it. This song has a great melody with a nice verse and chorus. The bridge is very melodic, Chester is singing very softly first then screams the same phrases again, I felt goosebumps on my arms. One of the best songs on the album.

02. "Crawl Back In" XXXX [4/5]
This is the first single from Out Of Ashes and it's a good one. A very good punk and rock song and one of the best heavier songs on the album. Good chorus and verse with great vocals and music.

03. "Too Late" XXXX [4/5]
This song has a great intro, then you hear Chester's soft vocals both in the verse and chorus. Overall a beautiful song with soft vocals, great music and a good intro and outro.

04. "Inside Of Me" XXXX [4/5]
The song starts fast with good scream vocals, then comes the chorus which is great and catchy. The song is pretty short, only 2:18 but it doesn't matter because the song has a great tempo from beginning to end.

05. "Let Down" XXXXX [5/5]
The best song on the album. This song is so beautiful, melodic and this song also touched me from the first time I heard it. This song has a great electronica sound with a synth lead and a more rock and upbeat chorus. A great second single!

06. "Give Me Your Name" XXXX [4/5]
A really great love song which has a 80's style music to it. Chester sings very soft in this song and shows what a great singer he is. He continues to sing like that in the verse and chorus. Later in the bridge he sings the chorus with more power which is great. Their's also a great guitar solo and the song ends with a acoustic guitar with chilling vocals over it, a beautiful outro.

07. "My Suffering" XXX [3/5]
"My Suffering" is a song that has grown on me, I didn't feel it was good at first. But after I listen to it a few times I discovered a really cool song. With good verses with a catchy chorus and powerful screams makes this a cool heavy song.

08. "Condemned" XXXXX [5/5]
This is a really heavy song, real bad ass song! This is a grunge song with powerful screams from Chester, the heaviest song I've heard him sing/scream, more of those please! I think this is the best heavy song on the album.

09. "Into You" XXXXX [5/5]
This is also one of my favorite songs on the album. I like how it starts with soft beautiful vocals and then comes a beautiful chorus. The bridge in this song is what makes this a perfect song, when Chester sings the chorus with his powerful vocals it's just awesome. I got goosebumps on my arms from this song, it really touched me.

10. "End Of The World" XXX [3/5]
Sounds little like Nine Inch Nails in the intro with electronica sound. I think the verse is good but the chorus is much better. I also like the bridge very much and a great guitar solo comes right after, the outro is also good which sounds like a radio tuning.

11. "Walking In Circles" XXXX [4/5]
The song starts with acoustic music during the verses which is cool and a great chorus with good dark music and awesome backing vocals. A very dark song with powerful vibes and great lyrics.

12. "In The Darkness" XXX [3/5]
Starts with a cool humming beat over a acoustic guitar. Chester then starts singing very softly during the verses which has great backing vocals. It has a good chorus but I like the verses better. Later a beautiful synth solo is also played which I like. The song ends with a cool outro, a great ending.

13. "Morning After" XXXX [4/5]
I heard this song live many years ago played with a acoustic guitar and a few years later Julien-K and Chester released a remix of it, I've loved it ever since, both the acoustic and the JK remix version. This version also has electronica influences but has much more rock which gives it a more powerful sound, a great bonus track.

Overall: Chester and Dead By Sunrise have made an awesome and cool album that doesn't sound like Linkin Park, because Out Of Ashes has a unique sound. I'm really impressed by the new sound, it's beautiful, heavy and has great music with electronica, rock, punk and pop influences. This album really shows how talented Chester Bennington is.

"IT ONLY DOES EVERYTHING" [Update!]

I haven't updated my Blog in awhile now, been busy with the new laptop that failed to work. So we went to the store and returned it and thank God that I could change it to another one! I picked a SONY VAIO that is actually faster than the PB and has a better 3D card. And of course it has Blu-ray, even though I didn't need it, I already have my PlayStation 3, but the "VAIO" supports full HD 1080p. My HDTV only supports 720p but I love it anyway, I payed for it myself, but in the future I will get a new HDTV with "Full HD 1080p" or more if it exists and I will pick the "Sony Bravia LED" HDTV. I will get the laptop in about two weeks and I really hope it will work great, I'm looking forward to it. And I will write more about what I think of it then.

I think SONY is the best, it's a really great company. Every Sony product I own have always worked great and that's what I love about them: Great quality in their products, the newest technology, great sense for the design and new ideas and the way they do all this is something all the Sony companies in the world do, it doesn't matter if it's in Japan or USA they have a special way of doing things and I like that. Sony has so many thing going on: Videogame consoles (Sony PlayStation 3), Electronics (Sony Bravia, Sony Vaio, Sony Ericsson, Sony Walkman, Sony Handycam, Sony Cyber-shot, Stereos and more...), Format (Blu-ray), Music label (Sony Music), Movie companies (Sony Pictures) and more... They have a lot going on "SONY ONLY DOES EVERYTHING".

Today I listened to "Out Of Ashes" and I think it's a great album and it doesn't sound like Linkin Park and that's cool because it sounds unique. I will listen to it even more tomorrow, because I know it will grow even more on me the second time around. A review of Dead By Sunrise's "Out Of Ashes" will be posted soon...

Dead By Sunrise: "My Suffering" review

Chester surprised everyone on twitter by releasing another song from Out Of Ashes. This time is was "My Suffering". All LP fans have heard the live version and many where disappointed, so was I, that the song changed. Now I've listened to the album version and I think it's good but the other version back in 2008 was better, but we have to except the change and go on. Maybe the song will grow on me? I will review the entire Out Of Ashes album when it comes out October 13th.

Update (23:56): The song is already growing on me after listening to it two times!

Dead By Sunrise: "Fire" & "Crawl Back In" (music video) review

"Fire" single

I like the song "Fire" very much, I like the verse and the chorus and the bit almost at the end is awesome, I got goosebumps all over my arms. That's what I love about Linkin Park that they always makes songs that really moves me and makes me feel all kinds of feelings and get goosebumps, those are always a good sign of a great song. The only version I've heard of "Fire" is the live one so it was really cool to hear the album version and again Chester's vocals sounds great. This is also one of the best songs I've heard from Out Of Ashes so far and I think their will be more awesome song on the album when it's released October 13th.

"Crawl Back In" (music video)

Now I've watched the official and debut video of "Crawl Back In", it was leaked to MySpace but got removed later, it will be released September 8th on MySpace again. I thought it was cool but not as good as the Linkin Park videos directed by Mr. Hahn. The video took place in the desert and you could see big women heads in the background moving. The band Dead By Sunrise looked very cool in the video with Chester moving and walking on the rocks. It was good but not Linkin Park video good, hope the "Let Down" video is better.

Dead By Sunrise: "Crawl Back In" review

I've listen to Dead By Sunrise new single "Crawl Back In" and I must say I like it a lot! Now that I've heard it in high quality it's much better. I mean Chester's vocals are so powerful and you can really hear it now. The song has a great melody and chorus. You can hear that it's not a Linkin Park song and that it's something different, overall it's a great single. But the next single is the one I most look forward to, "Let Down", I have already heard the live version so I look forward to hear the album version. And of course I look forward to the whole album Out Of Ashes due out October 13th!
