Listen To Chester Bennington's Previously Unreleased Demos

Linkin Park fansite LPLive.net has shared eight previously unreleased demos from Chester Bennington to celebrate what would have been the late singer's 42nd birthday. The tracks give a glimpse at the beginning of what would have been the singer's solo project which would later transform into the supergroup Dead by Sunrise. "The Linkin Park community has been spreading love and comfort since that first day, and continue to this day," the post reads on LPlive.net. "That’s why today, instead of mourning, we’ll celebrate the life of our hero and share something that served as a precursor to a big part of his life. It’s sort of a holy grail in the community, and something lots of people have wanted to hear for years," it continues. 

"In continuing the #MakeChesterProudmovement, we felt that this release would provide a celebratory feeling for fans and friends of Chester’s."

Chester Bennington unexpectedly took his own life in July of 2017 after battling with depression for years. His wife Talinda recently launched a mental health awareness campaign and shared the "fives signs of emotional suffering" to mark his birthday.  

Also included in the demos is a cover of The Misfits' "20 Eyes," which Dead by Sunrise performed to close their live shows. Chester has said many times that The Misfits were one of his favorite bands growing up. 

"All seven are raw unmastered demos in some form," the post continues. "Some have bigger differences than the final release versions (“Fire” with the original demo form, “My Suffering” with the screaming verses) while some are very similar to what ended up being released (“Morning After”)."
