Linkin Park ‘The Hunting Party’ Tracklist & Guests Announced

 

Linkin Park‘s upcoming album The Hunting Party now has a release date and tracklist for fans to froth over as they anticipate the guest-packed record.

The June 17 release of The Hunting Party will feature guest appearances from Page Hamilton from Helmet and Daron Malakian from System of a Down, as well as the immortal Rakim and Tom Morello.

In a new interview with New Zealand’s 3 News, vocalist Chester Bennington discusses cameos from other musicians on the album: “We’ve collaborated with people for the first time, which was inspiring. We worked with Page Hamilton from Helmet, we worked with Rakim, we worked with Daron from System [of a Down]. We produced it ourselves, so Mike [Shinoda] and Brad [Delson] produced this record. We really felt like if we need to be inspired and move in another direction.”

“I think when we got Page in, Mike had written this chorus and sang it, and his voice had this tone, and it was unlike anything I’d heard from him before,” Bennington continues. “And I was like, ‘Dude this is crazy, this sounds like a Helmet song! It’s cool!’ And we were like, ‘Dude, why don’t we see if we can get like Page in here?’ You know? And if that’s why the song says it’s feeling like it should be, then why don’t we just go straight to the source.”

We’ve got tentative, hesitant hopes for the new record, after hearing “Guilty All The Same”.The song, which you can hear on Radio.com, is certainly a stylistic departure for Urban Outfitters’ pseudo-revolutionary poster boys. That is, until Chester’s vocal returns to remind us that vaguely oppressed anger is the one flavor we’re getting from Linkin Park, ad nauseam. MC Rakim steps in for a few lines, giving Mike Shinoda’s painfully terrible rapping a break. Does that count as excitement?
