Linkin Park revealed details of their long-awaited new album - including the artwork, title and release date.
The nu-metal heroes' sixth album will be calling The Hunting Party, and released on 16 June - the day after Download Festival.
The band revealed the dramatic artwork via Noisey, where Mike Shinoda discussed what went in to making the record.
"Dude it’s crazy out there," he said. "What’s worked for us in the past is stick to our guns as far as what our creative vision is, spend a lot of time on it, and really craft it. On this record we spent six months in the studio, probably six more out of the studio in addition, just coming up with demoes and throwing them away.
"In contrast to that, there was a pop artist who I won’t name who was in the studio while we were doing our record—they showed up for three days. Day one they showed up for thirty minutes, day two they showed up for fifteen, and day three they neglected to show up at all. The song was done."
