Linkin Park aloittanut työstämään materiaalia seuraavalle albumilleen
Himos Parkkiin 31. päivä elokuuta keikalle saapuvan yhdysvaltalaisen rockyhtye Linkin Parkin vokalisti Mike Shinoda on antanut hiljattain haastattelun Absolutepunkille, jossa paljastaa yhtyeen aloittaneen kirjoittamaan materiaalia jo seuraavalle albumilleen. Yhtyeen uusin albumi ”The Hunting Party” julkaistiin kesäkuussa 2014. Voit lukea Mike Shinodan mietteitä bändin seuraavasta albumista tästä:
“Yeah, we’re already starting to throw ideas together. I’m always writing. It’s always an ongoing process for me, but we never know. Chester and I joke that we’ve already made the mistake of telling people what the next record is going to sound like. I remember on Minutes To Midnight, we wrote a couple really heavy songs. He went out and told people, “Oh, this album is going to be the heaviest record we’ve ever made.” Then it ended up that only two of those songs made the cut [laughs], and the rest of them did not. People were just like, “Wait, what the fuck? You told us this record was going to sound like…
We had a fan track that we called “Qwerty” that was super heavy. It actually sounded more like Hunting Party. We put that out as like, “Hey, just for fun. We’re not going to put this on the record. You can have this one.” So people thought that was what the album was going to sound like, and then they put on the album. “Hands Held High” is on there. “Leave Out All The Rest” is on there. “In Pieces,” and all these not heavy songs. A lot of them are heavy in emotion. “Leave Out All The Rest” is literally about dying, so emotionally that’s very heavy [laughs], but it was not the sound that we had said. I hesitate to ever tell people what the records are going to sound like because the only way to really understand it at the end of the day is to actually hear the album.”
