Linkin Park The Hunting Party

2014, Although rooted in alternative metal, Linkin Park became one of the most successful acts of the 2000s by welcoming elements of hip-hop, modern rock, and atmospheric electronica into their music. The band's rise was indebted to the aggressive rap-rock movement made popular by the likes of Korn and Limp Bizkit, a movement that paired grunge's alienation with a bold, buzzing soundtrack. Linkin Park added a unique spin to that formula, however, focusing as much on the vocal interplay between singer Chester Bennington and rapper Mike Shinoda as the band's muscled instrumentation, which layered DJ effects atop heavy, processed guitars. THE HUNTING PARTY is a departure from the band's recent electronic rock sound of their previous two studio albums. The album, described by Mike Shinoda as simply ´a rock record`, serves a statement by the band against contemporary mainstream and active rock bands, accused by Shinoda as ´trying to be other bands and playing it safe`.
