Mike has just posted a picture of himself and electronic/EDM artist Martin Garrix, followed by Martin posting a followup with Mike! The band is just starting work on the follow up to last year's The Hunting Party, which just so happened to feature a handful of guests... Is this a foreshadowing of what's to come?
This could mean any number of things:
Linkin Park's next record will continue the trend of featured guests on songs. THP boasted Rakim, Paige Hamilton, Daron Malakian, and Tom Morello.
New Fort Minor material? Back on the band's Summer European tour, Mike was rumored to have entered the studio with a special guest in London, a UK artist... With how well 'Welcome' came about, it's not too unlikely some new FM material may be in the works with some friends.
Will this be the band's next direction? They're certainly not complete strangers to electronic music; Living Things, Recharged, and multiple collaborations with Steve Aoki show that they are definitely capable of creating some great music.
A collaboration with Martin for his new album that comes out in 2016.
Many of you know Martin for his song Animals...
Linkin Park entered the studio almost immediately after the European Tour came to a conclusion in September. According to Joe's DJ tech Warren Willis, the band has spent a good bit of time already working on new music. What are your thoughts? Is new music closer than we think?
