Formed in 1993, Grey Daze was an alternative rock/grunge band that notably featured future Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. The band went through several line-up changes throughout the decade, releasing two albums: Wake Me in 1994 and …no sun today in 1997 before breaking up in 1998. Bennington, as mentioned, went on to join the highly successful nu metal band Linkin Park. Sean Dowdell runs a tattoo shop in Arizona. Former band member Bobby Benish died on September 28, 2004 from a brain tumor. Former singer Chester Bennington died on July 20, 2017 from suicide by hanging.
Prior to Chester’s passing in 2017, the band reunited with Chester as the vocalist, Sean Dowdell as the drummer and backing vocals, Mace Beyers as the bassist, and Cristin Davis as the guitarist. Chester announced the reunion on social media saying that their plan was to re-record material from their first two albums with better production and a more modern sound. Unfortunately, due to Chester’s sudden death, the project was shelved in mid 2017. The next year, the band regrouped and, with the blessing of Chester’s widow, began to work on the project. Reworking Chester’s original vocals from their previous albums, they were able to re-release eleven tracks on their 2020 album, Amends. The band plans to release more re-worked material in the future.
