Dead by Sunrise (previously known as Snow White Tan) is the side project of Linkin Park's vocalist, Chester Bennington and Julien-K. The name Snow White Tan was speculated to be a reference to the David Bowie track "Ziggy Stardust", which includes the lyrics "Came on so loaded, man/Well hung and snow-white tan", but the band's renaming to Dead by Sunrise by Chester has not been publicly explained. Chester has said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, "We were called Snow White Tan for a while, and then I changed the name to Dead By Sunrise, but I really just like Chester Bennington." The album, later titled Out of Ashes, is scheduled for release on October 13, 2009.
