LINKIN PARK Listening Event And PROJEKT REVOLUTION Announcement Coming On Monday

May 4, 2007

The world premiere of LINKIN PARK's "Minutes to Midnight" album with host Stryker will take place on Monday, May 7 at 8:00 p.m. EST, 5:00 p.m. Pacific, eight days prior to the album in-store date. Turn on your radio Monday evening to hear tracks from "Minutes to Midnight", including "What I've Done", "Given Up", and four additional new songs. For a list of stations broadcasting this event near you, visit www.linkinpark.com.

LINKIN PARK spent over 14 months in the studio and wrote more than 100 song demos leading up to "Minutes to Midnight". Vocalist/producer Mike Shinoda says the record is "a breakthrough in the development of the band's sound." Producer Rick Rubin adds, "They really are reinventing themselves, it doesn't sound like rap/rock. There's very strong songwriting. It's very melodic... a progressive record."

Chester Bennington adds that the first single, "What I've Done", is "us saying goodbye to how we used to be. The lyrics in the first verse are 'In this farewell, there is no blood, there is no alibi,' and right away, you'll notice that the band sounds different: The drums are much more raw, the guitars are more raw and the vocals aren't tripled. It's just us out there ... and that's how Rick wanted it. Basically he told us, 'If it sounds like it could've been on the first two records, then we're not going to work on it.' "

In addition to Monday's listening event, LINKIN PARK will be announcing the full lineup and dates for the highly anticipated Projekt Revolution Tour 2007 the same day.
