The Phoenix will follow 2020's Amends as the second full-length release for Grey Daze created using old recordings of Chester Bennington. Adding to the emotional resonance, The Phoenix will also feature contributions from Bennington's daughters Lily and Lila, with musical input from Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction/ex-Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and Richard Patrick (Filter/Nine Inch Nails).
Speaking about the creation of The Phoenix songwriter Sean Dowell shares some insight into the differences between Amends and The Phoenix.
“Amends was more emotional and reflective… We felt sad when we were writing it. Now that we’re a couple of years removed, it’s very clear what we were going through. We were at a different stage of grief. We went through the shock and the sadness. Now, we’re back to gratitude. So, The Phoenix is more of a celebration of our friend, his talent, and the music. It captures Chester’s angst and energy that people fell in love with. It’s much more aggressive. If you love Chester’s scream, you’ll love this record.”
