Xero21 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 "In trying to describe the artwork he envisioned for the debut album by his new project, Dead by Sunrise, Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington tells Noisecreep he had a few key words in mind. "I wanted something that looked dark, mysterious and beautiful, but comfortable at the same time, and captured a gothic feel. But I wanted it to be modern," he said. He took that idea to the design firm Polychrome, and was very pleased with the results. "[They] really took my words and kind of started coming up with these amazing surreal shots and concepts for the album artwork and they were the ones who developed the idea for this black void, which the cloth that you see on the front kind of represents death in a way and how it is chasing us down through the artwork," he said. That collaborative spirit is also a metaphor for the album, which began as a solo project, before he became so impressed with the ideas presented by close friends and former Orgy members Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh that he handed over free reign to the pair to experiment with his songs. The result is Dead by Sunrise, a joining of Bennington and the electornic/rock group Julien K, led by Shuck and Derakh." I was blown away by how their style and their kind of turn and twist on the music had taken the songs," Bennington said." SOURCE Looks awesome. Quote

dark_master Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Well, I said it in the previous topic, but let's do it again. I don't like it very much. I mean, yes, it's good, but it could have been really better. There was a cover, made by a dude from the forum. It was ways better. Quote
Subs Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Well, I said it in the previous topic, but let's do it again. I don't like it very much. I mean, yes, it's good, but it could have been really better. There was a cover, made by a dude from the forum. It was ways better. Your referring to me. I believe the real one is better. Mine was moodier, kind of how i envisioned the band and the themes, but this is quite sophisticated. Awesome. There was no way I could have done better. Quote
spraypaintninkpens Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 The cover looks okay but I could care less what it looks like. I just hope the music is good. Quote
wiiesel Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 It looks a bit simple. But it's ok..... The music is what counts ^^ Quote
JZLP-Benningstrong Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Good cover, 100x better than MTM I like it, looks dark but at the same time looks beautiful.. sexy Chester has more talent that we can ever imagine. Quote
libyanhead Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Album cover looks pretty simple......but what i care is the music Quote
felipeintheend Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 nice cover i hope the song sounds very good as the cover Quote

Dean Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 That looks much better than how I'd probably have expected it to look. Quote

Andros Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 ^^ awesome...waiting for the all tracklist or another news of DBS Quote
Subs Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) off topic but I can't believe Crawl Back In hasn't surfaced. The first time a live DBS song debutdoesn't get a rip. And its the main single. Track listing next hopefully ! EDIT: Fixed what I was trying to say Andros, lol. Edited July 13, 2009 by Subs Quote
Andros Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 off topic but I can't believe Crawl Back In hasn't surfaced. The first song of a live debut to not get a rip. And its the main single. Track listing next hopefully ! Do not I understand that you want to say? Quote
[High_Voltage] Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 I love the cover. and personally...... I have LOVED every song that I've heard off of the album so far.... I have a feeling September will be a good month.... Quote
LPPRJKT4 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Niceeee!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for the album even more!!!!!!!1 Quote
Pez Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 on another note i love the first comment. "does this mean the break up of linkin park?" no. It means your an idiot and where have you been the last few months. Seriously New Divide was all over the place. Some people these days. Quote
Andros Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) NEWS from Amir Derakh Twitter and he says: "Shooting 2 music videos for Dead By Sunrise over the next 2 days" Edited July 14, 2009 by andros Quote
Astat Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 I've liked the logo ever since it appeared on the flyers for the July 4th show, but having it as the centerpiece on the album cover honestly makes it look like a Dark Side of the Moon ripoff. Quote

I agree. the logo looks pretty nice. I'm happy with the cover. But the truth is its the music that counts. Quote
