Inside of Me (Dead by Sunrise song)

"Inside of Me" is a song by American rock band Dead by Sunrise, which consists of Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington, as well as the band members of Julien-K. It is the fourth track from their debut album, Out of Ashes.

Background

This song consists of very aggressive elements and screams from the lead singer Chester Bennington.

In a recent article from Ultimate Guitar Archive, the single has been described as it "begins with a typical grunge type of riff with catchy verses and guitar parts that makes the track stand out. Although it was not quite as good as the previous songs, it is still considered as a very good song." In another article from Sputnik Music, the song has been described as "probably the most and biggest offender, as it appears to be nothing more than just an outlet for Bennington to scream with his heart's content, but sonically would have been done if it was wrapped with the nu-metal sound so that he is well known for; it also has a greater emphasis on his singing and his impressive high range yelling, which he promanently had done for the first single 'Crawl Back In' for example."

Inside of Me (film)
