News Roundup: Grey Daze Update

[LPLStaff]

Back in 2017, Grey Daze announced they would be playing a reunion show at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona on September 23th with their new line-up consisting of: Chester Bennington, Sean Dowdell, Mace Beyers, Jason Barnes and Christin Davis. Besides the show, the band had entered the studio with producer Sylvia Massy with plans for a reworked edition of their sophomore album ...No Sun Today. Chester unfortunately passed away before they could finish it. Starting in early 2018, the band has given continuity to the project at the Salt Mine Studios and NRG Recording Studios with a number of special guests giving their input, including Ryan Shuck (Julien-K), Marcos Curiel (P.O.D.), Jaime Bennington (Chester’s son), Chris Traynor (Bush), Lucas D'Angelo (Betraying The Martyrs), Esjay Jones, Brian “Head” Welch and James "Munky" Shaffer (Korn).

 

Now the plans are for reinterpretations of both of Grey Daze’s studio albums, modernizing the music for the current market, and a documentary in tribute to Chester and his work with the band.
