As the anticipation for Linkin Park's new album The Hunting Party ratchets up, the band have released a teaser trailer. Check it out below

The video, which features interviews with Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn, sees the band discuss the harder more stripped back sound they have gone for. The tone is one of honesty, with the band stating that this is the album that they have wanted to make for a long time, instead of what they think people want to hear.

"There was a point last year when I was making stuff, I listened to it and I realised it was wrong," says Shinoda. "I'd estimated what I thought I'd like to listen to, not something that I wanted to be making."

Also some eagle eyed viewers may be able to see track names on the board at 1:08, including: 'All For Nothing', 'Keys to the Kingdom', 'The Wastelands', 'Line in the Sand' and 'Warrior'.
