These last days have been quite busy for us fansites, so a little news roundup of what our colleagues have found is due!
Listening Party
Mike Shinoda Clan have found hints that Warner is planning a private listening party of The Hunting Party for fans from all over the world – flights, hotel, etc. included! Apparently only 1 or 2 will be chosen from each country with the overall amount being 20. The event will be on May 23, which is three weeks before the album drops, so those fans will have to sign one hell of a confidentiality agreement. Sources are Warner Music Japan and Warner Music Korea.
Competition period is April 28 to May 12 while the winner(s) will be announced on May 13. Read more details on MSC!
Remember that we are hosting a worldwide ONLINE listening party! Find out more HERE!
Review
Derek from LPA and Altwire.net listened to 6 songs of the new album and reviewed them on both websites. It’s a great review which will make you get super stoked for the album, so make sure you read it!
The fruits of their labor are very apparent on the six incredible tracks I had the privilege of previewing this past week through Warner Brothers. Featuring a rejuvenated and highly energetic sounding Linkin Park, perhaps what’s most surprising of all is how different these tracks are from the band’s previous work, whilst still managing to give nods to the band’s roots and their past. Make no mistake; this is a new band, sonically and musically reborn after 15 years on the scene, with a mission and a plan to bring hard rock back to the Active Rock charts.
Kerrang Scans
MSC also posted scans of the new Kerrang issue. In an interview Linkin Park talk about the new album and their performance at Download Festival.
