Dead By Sunrise - "Walking In Circles"

walking in circles now, do not disturb, scream in silence, everyone's sleeping

Rating: 7/10

When vocalist Chester Bennington began writing songs that didn't fit the Linkin Park style, he started a side project on his own until friend Ryan Shuck of Julien-K heard his demos and decided to join in. Chester collaborated with Julien-K to form Dead By Sunrise and they released their album Out Of Ashes on October 13, 2009. Many of the songs were written by Chester in a dark period of his life and it was like he was stepping out from that with a renewed sense of life; hence the album title. The music and lyrics create a dull, heavy mood with a beautiful harmony. The vocals, once again, are wonderfully done by Chester capturing the overall feel of the song. With a little bit of electronic added to the more traditional rock, this track is a good example of the Bennington take on Julien-K.
