<\/div>\n

Chester Bennington<\/a>\u2019s first band Grey Daze have dropped a new song, \u201cSoul Song,\u201d accompanied by a touching video directed by the late singer\u2019s son, Jaime Bennington.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoul Song\u201d is a booming alt-rock ballad that moves from atmospheric verses tinged with electronic elements into an epic chorus bolstered by big grunge guitars. \u201cAnd freedom rained,\u201d Bennington howls, \u201cGod has come\/With the rivers of blood\/Pushed back in my veins.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video for \u201cSoul Song\u201d incorporates archival footage of Bennington and sprawling nature scenes with Jaime at their center. In a statement, the director said of the clip: \u201cThis music video is about my spiritual connection to the other side and my literal experiences with the elusive and, at times, incomprehensible presence of my father after death. \u2019Soul Song\u2019 is about the many ways in which we come to enlightenment, into knowledge, and the many ways we fall away from it. This is my personal experience with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grey Daze co-founder and drummer Sean Dowell described working with Jaime as \u201cone of those full-circle moments where we remembered meeting Chester at an even younger age than Jaime\u2026 [He\u2019s]a burgeoning filmmaker so when he offered to do this video, well, we couldn\u2019t think of a better way to present this song.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSoul Song\u201d will appear on Grey Daze\u2019s upcoming compilation, Amends<\/em><\/a>, which is set to arrive June 26th via Loma Vista Recordings. The band had been plotting a reunion before Bennington\u2019s death in 2017<\/a>, and the album was completed by surviving members Dowell, bassist Mace Beyers and guitarist Cristin Davis, with the help of Bennington\u2019s widow, Talinda, and his parents.<\/p>\n

The record features re-recorded versions of songs from Grey Daze\u2019s little-known Nineties output, paired with Bennington\u2019s re-mastered vocals. The record also includes guest appearances from Korn\u2019s Brian \u201cHead\u201d Welch and James \u201cMunky\u201d Shaffer, Helmet\u2019s Page Hamilton, Bush\u2019s Chris Traynor, Laura Pergolizzi, P.O.D.\u2019s Marcos Curiel and Breaking Benjamin\u2019s Jasen Rauch.<\/p>\n
