LINKIN PARK: New Video Interview With JOE HAHN, BRAD DELSON

July 30, 2014

Argentinean rock journalist Lucas H. Gordon, who currently resides in Hollywood, California, recently conducted an interview with Joe Hahn and Brad Delson of LINKIN PARK. You can now watch the chat below.

LINKIN PARK's sixth studio album, "The Hunting Party", sold around 110,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 3 on The Billboard 200 chart. The record arrived in stores on June 17 via Machine Shop Recordings/Warner Bros.

The LINKIN PARK bandmembers, especially singer-producer Mike Shinoda, have been very vocal about returning to harder-edged rock on this record as a response to the poppier sounds heard on alternative rock radio at the moment. Shinoda explained that he was tired of what he was hearing on the airwaves. "I just couldn't take it," he told The Pulse Of Radio. "I was listening to stuff and I really just was getting frustrated. I was actually listening to my own demos and I wasn't happy with those either. And yeah, there was a point at which we just kind of did an about face and I said to the guys, like, 'I've just kind of scrapped everything that we've been working on, like we can go back to it if we want to, but I made some new things and I think this is the direction for the album.' And that's what I played them."

"The Hunting Party" follows up 2012's "Living Things" and features the singles "Guilty All The Same" and "Until It's Gone".

Guests on "The Hunting Party" include RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello, HELMET mainman Page Hamilton, SYSTEM OF A DOWN axeman Daron Malakian and rapper Rakim.

LINKIN PARK will head out this summer with 30 SECONDS TO MARS and AFI on the "Carnivores Tour", which kicks off on August 8 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
