The official lyric video for the song “Until It’s Gone” from LINKIN PARK can be seen below. The track is taken from the band’s new album, “The Hunting Party”, which is scheduled for release on June 17.

Aside from their 2004 EP “Collision Course”, on which they collaborated with rapper Jay-Z, LINKIN PARK has never worked on studio recordings with other artists. According to The Pulse Of Radio, that’s about to change on “The Hunting Party”, which features guest appearances from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE‘s Tom MorelloHELMET‘s Page Hamilton and SYSTEM OF A DOWN‘s Daron Malakian in addition to rapper Rakim‘s guest spot on the single “Guilty All The Same”.

Vocalist Chester Bennington told New Zealand’s 3 News, “We’ve collaborated with people for the first time, which was inspiring . . . When we got Page in, Mike [Shinoda, co-vocalist and producer] had written this chorus and sang it, and his voice had this tone, and it was unlike anything I’d heard from him before. And I was like, ‘Dude, this is crazy, this sounds like a HELMET song! It’s cool!’ And we were like, ‘Dude, why don’t we see if we can get like Page in here?’ You know? And if that’s why the song says it’s feeling like it should be, then why don’t we just go straight to the source.”

Shinoda told The Pulse Of Radio that the band will work hard to make sure the songs translate to the live show. “We try to approach how we perform our songs with integrity, and the stuff we write in the studio can be really layered,” he said. “There can be a lot of stuff in there — lots of tracks of cool sounds and samples and keyboards and multiple guitars and all this. And sometimes it’s a big challenge to bring that to the stage, but we end up just finding a way to make it all work.”

LINKIN PARK will hit the road in support of “The Hunting Party” on this summer’s “Carnivores Tour” with 30 SECONDS TO MARS and AFI. The trek kicks off on August 8 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
