Linkin Park's sixth studio album, The Hunting Party, is a high-energy release that showcases the band's ability to blend different styles and create something unique. Released on 9 June 2014 through Warner Records, this 45-minute album is a masterclass in nu metal, rap metal, rock, and alternative metal.
The tracklist is a testament to Linkin Park's collaborative spirit, featuring guest appearances from notable artists such as Page Hamilton, Rakim, Daron Malakian, and Tom Morello. From the opening notes of 'Keys to the Kingdom' to the closing track 'A Line in the Sand', The Hunting Party takes listeners on a sonic journey through a range of emotions and themes.
With tracks like 'Guilty All the Same' and 'Rebellion', Linkin Park demonstrates their ability to craft infectious, hard-hitting songs that are both aggressive and melodic.

Throughout The Hunting Party, Linkin Park's signature sound is evident, yet they continue to push boundaries and experiment with new ideas. The result is an album that is both a return to their roots and a bold step forward, cementing Linkin Park's status as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in the rock music scene.
