Members of Linkin Park recently spoke with Spin.com regarding their new album, due out sometime this June. Addressing the bands comfortability with songwriting this time around, vocalist Chester Bennington offered:
“On the last two albums, if someone brought in a song that felt very ‘Linkin Park,’ we were like, ‘Mm, let’s move on.’
We now know we have the skills and the tools to take those ideas and make them into what we’re actually looking for, as opposed to getting into it and discovering that it just sounds really nü-metal.
That’s always going to be gross to us, but we can take elements of that and reinvent the vibe, make it now and fresh.”
The song “Burn It Down” has been tapped as the first single from the album and will be digitally released this coming Monday, April 16th.
