Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory is Taking October by Storm

Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory was a defining moment in the musical library of the band. Now on their 20th anniversary, they have too much-uncovered gold for us. They’ve been digging through closets and attics. Now we’re getting a box full of goodies. Slowly they’ve been releasing some never before seen and heard demos for this build-up with the latest being ‘In The End (Demo).’

Have you heard the original track? Spot any differences? We sure do. This is amazing in itself, but what’s even more amazing is to look at what ‘In The End’ came to be from this. We can see the unpolished glaringly but in an endearing light that honestly sends us reeling. The talent is there, and we’re over the moon; they kept trying and pushed it even harder than the original.

Deluxe Box Sets Galore

“The stuff people uncovered and discovered in attics and boxes of old pictures, I was blown away. I couldn’t believe we even had some of this stuff. We found hours of video footage we didn’t know existed. We found versions of demos no fan has ever heard. There’s a lot of really special stuff. It’s a massive set.”

Shinoda

With these possessions found, and for the celebration, we’re getting 4 variations of the deluxe. This will include unreleased content such as songs, videos, and more. Being a hardcore fan, you’ve gotta collect all you can. Keep your eye on the prize; these babies are releasing October 9th– Just in time for payday.
