Chester Bennington will be a busy man this autumn as he continues to work on Linkin Park’s fourth studio album, and also looks to promote the Dead By Sunrise debut album. After many delays, Dead By Sunrise will finally release its debut album ‘Out of Ashes’ in September, and the album is all set to feature a total of 10 tracks.

Chester Bennington wrote these tracks whilst working on the follow-up to Linkin Park’s ‘Minutes to Midnight’ album, and realising that they weren’t right for the band; decided to use them in a side project rather than drastically altering them for inclusion on the fourth Linkin Park studio album.

Bennington is joined by members of Orgy/Julien-K on the ‘Out of Ashes’ album, and for Chester Bennington fans wanting to hear him doing something a little different, this album should definitely impress. It’s always nice to hear artist’s branching out and trying different things, and that’s exactly what Chester Bennington is doing with Dead By Sunrise.

If you’d like to take a listen to the music of Dead By Sunrise, the track ‘Morning After’ is currently available for streaming at the Dead By Runrise MySpace page .

Metallica has announced the support acts for the North American tour later this year, stating the following:

While we are still enjoying our European summer vacation, a quick note here about the Fall shows in North America. Our French friends Gojira will be joining us, along with Lamb of God, for shows September 14 – October 18, while Lars’ brethren from Denmark Volbeat will hanging for the shows October 26 – December 12. One other quick thing – unfortunately Lamb of God cannot continue on with us in December, so we’ll have more news about those shows for you later.

Fans will likely be disappointed that Lamb of God will be joining Metallica for just one month; it’s certainly one hell of a line-up between September 14th and October 18th though, and I’m sure that all that attend those dates will thoroughly enjoy themselves.
