Chester Bennington’s Pre-Linkin Park Band Grey Daze Release Album “What’s In The Eye”
Written by Johnson Stephen on January 16, 2020
Chester Bennington’s Pre-Linkin Park Band Grey Daze release “What’s In The Eye” this Spring via Loma Vista Recordings.
Originally recorded in 1993 and 1996, ‘What’s In the Eye’ was re-written and modernized by Grey Daze under the guidance of producers Chris Traynor (Bush, Helmet, Orange 9MM), Kyle Hoffman, and Jay Baumgardner. Using Chester’s original vocals, the song showcases that, even at the age of 17, Chester was already “delivering intense, almost physically palpable emotion”.
“As a teenager, when these recordings were done, he had this incredible raw and somewhat undeveloped voice that had an incredible tone. He had this ability to sing great Rock melodies punctuated by that unmistakable guttural scream. Chester’s voice had a personality that made you a believer,” said Loma Vista Recordings founder and President Tom Whalley. “Listening to the new versions of these tracks, I think it represents everything that the band members and the family told me that Chester wanted to achieve with re-recording this body of work.”
Additional details about the album will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Prior to his untimely passing, Chester personally announced a 2017 Grey Daze reunion on social media. As he never got the chance to launch the reunion himself, his bandmates, friends, family, and various collaborators stepped up to give the music the second chance it deserved, finishing what the late singer started.
