  1. Becko (real name Marco Calanca) has announced on Twitter that his song 'Darkest Days' from the #ShinodaProduceMe initiative is set for a September 8th release. The Italian artist/producer is signed to Celldweller's electronic rock label FiXT. His music is a blend of hip-hop, metal, EDM and alternative rock with melodic, screaming and rap vocals. Last year he released a cover of Linkin Park's 'Faint' on his compilation album "CVRS" and a cover of 'Crawling' as part of his "Genesis" EP. 'Darkest Days' was produced by Mike Shinoda live on Twitch earlier this year, on February 1st and 2nd. The original multitracks sent by Becko were pretty complete, with vocal tracks - along with three tracks of reverb, delay, and other effects -, three other groups of tracks including keyboard, synth and guitar; and a bass group present in the verses. The structure of the song was quite traditional with only one chord progression present. Mike recorded new keyboard additions, 808 beats and guitar parts for the song. He set out to experiment with it as he explained: “One thing I want to do with these production streams in particular is … if the song comes in sounding like … it fits easily into a box … I’m gonna try to work out of that box. Like if it’s, ‘this sounds like really good Warped Tour music’, then I gotta do something to it that takes it out of that. Because if you want ‘that’, then you’d go somewhere else and get that, or you’d just make that yourself. But my job is to say, ‘okay, how can I make it sound, in my opinion, more interesting than that?’.” UPDATE: Release date was postponed to September 17.
  2. Chrome started blocking HTTP downloads when opened from HTTPS pages. Changed all the links on the Downloads page. This should be fixed now. Also added download links for Razor Tag and Pictureboard.
  3. Looks like they silently released the album on Bandcamp in June. No widespread release. https://julienk.bandcamp.com/album/unauthorized-live-in-europe
  4. Kid Brunswick released today, July 30th, his new mixtape XFOREVER on which Mike Shinoda worked as executive producer. In addition, he is credited as composer/lyricist for the tracks 'The Feel' and 'Skin.' Kerrang! reports that Mike decided to reach out to him after listening to his 2020 single Bipolar Rhapsody. Brunswick was pretty excited when that happened as Meteora is his all time favorite album. He explained Mike's role on the record: “Mike basically said to me, ‘Write some songs, we’ll work on them together, structure them together, talk about the project and what it means to you and approach this as a team.’ I was like, ‘Holy shit – I thought he’d just want to work on one song!’ To my knowledge, I’m the only British artist that he’s come on board and executive produced thus far, which is nuts. Mike seems to really love the record, and I’m unbelievably excited about it too.” Mike says they've talked about doing more music together in the future.
  5. American novelist, film producer and artist Ryan Leone published a lengthy interview he did with Jeff Blue and Samantha Bennington discussing Chester Bennington, Linkin Park and their books One Step Closer: From Xero To #1: Becoming Linkin Park and Falling Love Notes: Memories Of A Rock Star’s Wife. Check it out.
  6. Joey Jordison, Slipknot’s founding drummer has passed away in his sleep on Monday at the age of 46. The cause of death wasn't disclosed. A statement from his family reads: “Joey’s death has left us with empty hearts and feelings of indescribable sorrow. To those that knew Joey, understood his quick wit, his gentle personality, giant heart, and his love for all things family and music. The family of Joey have asked that friends, fans, and media understandably respect our need for privacy and peace at this incredibly difficult time.” The musician battled years ago with transverse myelitis, a form of multiple sclerosis that affected his back and his legs, reason why he parted ways with Slipknot. In addition to Slipknot, Jordison has been a member of Vimic, Murderdolls, Scar The Martyr, Sinsaenum and pre-Slipknot bands Modifidious and The Have Nots. He also made guest appearances on recordings by Otep, Necrophagia, and Rob Zombie and assembled several supergroups in 2005 for the Roadrunner United project in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Roadrunner Records. Slipknot toured with Linkin Park in 2001 on the iconic Ozzfest tour. Source: Rolling Stone
  7. Guys, a working title is literally what the name suggests, a title they used while working on the song. Having a different name doesn't mean it was a different song. Could be the same thing that's on the album but under a different title. It doesn't have to be a Blue vs. Crawling situation. Just listen to Dust Brothers and Now I See, they are the same song as With You.
  8. Harmonic Song was just a working title. Like any other song, it went through various stages of development until they arrived to the final product. It's impossible to know what the original seed was. Mike himself said he doesn't remember how the song was started (see Linkinpedia). Note that Rob's schedule from Jeff Blue's book lists the song both as "Harmonic Song" (working title) and "Pushing Me Away" (final title). Every other song in the list was already fully developed at that point. It's more than likely that Pushing Me Away was as well since it already had a title taken from the lyrics. I think what Rob recorded during that period was the same drum tracks you hear in the album.
  9. Not sure what kind of answer you're looking for. I think the only one who can help you is the person who edited the DVD. lol No and likely no.

  12. No, only the standard edition and it wasn't released in vinyl format until 2016: https://lpcatalog.com/item/fort-minor_2005_the-rising-tied
  13. The alternate versions of No Roads Left and Across The Line aren't available on HDTracks (at least in my country), only Shadow Of The Day. You can find them on Apple Music or Amazon: https://music.apple.com/us/album/minutes-to-midnight-deluxe-edition/590427297 https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07W12SNYS/ If you own physical copies of Minutes To Midnight (Tour Edition) and LP Underground 9.0: Demos, then yes, you have the original versions. If you don't have them and would like to purchase digital versions:
  14. Live In Texas is a mix of two different shows filmed on different places and different dates. Collision Course is one show, recorded in one day.

  16. This. Sounds like something taken from a musical.
  17. Sorry, I can't answer that because I don't have it. Someone would have to purchase the CD and provide a download.
  18. Sorry, checked again and it's Instagram, not YouTube. Yeah. Tyler Bates handles the Dark Nights Death Metal soundtrack. Virtually every song has input from him. On the announcement they said they worked with him on the song + they called it "Retro Version" like you said. Today Sean replied to someone saying the album version will be different. The album is being done with Esjay as we all know.
  19. Thank you for the explanation. That was my first thought too when I read "3D Audio" both on Amazon's and Apple's press releases. But from the files I have it does seem like they have a fixed amount of channels and I did see reports of some elements missing from the songs when people played the album in stereo sound systems.
  20. Yes. If you open on Audacity for instance you can see all 6 of them. Sorry for my ignorance but what exactly is channel-agnostic? I mean, the media info does say 5.1 and it does show 6 channels.
  21. It's a 5.1 surround version of the album, so I guess they needed to make a new mix in order to split the songs into 6 channels instead of the regular 2 from the stereo version. I think it's something the label ordered for the 20th anniversary celebration. Not sure if Mike was involved. I think he never talked about it.
  22. Amazon did it last year: https://lplive.net/forums/topic/14372-amazon-music-to-remaster-linkin-park-in-ultra-hd-3d-audio/ It's available on Tidal too: https://news.dolby.com/en-WW/189109-tidal-and-dolby-bring-dolby-atmos-music-to-the-home Other stores are just jumping on the bandwagon.
