The Hunting Party

Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson led the production to recapture the visceral intensity of 90s hardcore and thrash metal. By moving away from electronic experiments, the band sought to highlight raw, guitar-driven aggression.

Collaborations with Tom Malakian and Daron Morello help ground the project in a high-octane aesthetic. The album serves as a clear statement against the mid-tempo radio music that dominated the early part of the decade.
