"Linkin Park's sixth studio album, The Hunting Party, released in 2014 under Warner Records, marks a significant departure from their earlier nu-metal and electronic rock sound. Known for blending genres, the band embraced a heavier, more aggressive approach on this album, drawing influences from punk rock, thrash metal, and hardcore punk. Compared to their previous works, The Hunting Party stands out for its raw energy and live instrumentation, contrasting with their more polished electronic elements. Notable tracks like 'Guilty All the Same' and 'Final Masquerade' showcase their trademark introspective lyrics against a backdrop of intense guitar riffs and dynamic drumming. The album features collaborations with renowned musicians such as Rakim and Daron Malakian of System of a Down, adding depth to its sonic landscape. Produced by the band members themselves alongside Brad Delson, the album reflects their desire to reclaim a more organic, authentic sound." - Warner Records * translucent light blue colored double vinyl pressing (please note: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo) * limited edition * original release year: 2014 * music label: Warner Records 2024
