"A Thousand Suns" Shine for Linkin Park

Richard Banks
For over 15 years, the world has had the pleasure of listening to a fusion of nu-metal, alternative metal, and rap rock. With influences from genres such as alternative rock, electronic, and hip-hop, Linkin Park has amassed over 50 million albums sold worldwide. Hybrid Theory started it off, and then followed Meteora, Minutes to Midnight was next, and finally A Thousands Suns.

Since the release of Minutes to Midnight, fans have been waiting for another studio album. Linkin Park has been a part of various side projects such as Fort Minor; remix collaboration with Jay-Z, as well as being a major participating in charitable relief efforts.

A Thousand Suns has been in the planning/development stages since May of 2009 with an expected release date of September 14, 2010. So now with the release date set, fans have gotten a taste of the album with the fan produced "The Catalyst".
