The band have officially confirmed a 2014 release for their new record, but refuse to spill any description of the sound they’re going for. “Every time I do that, people take that and run with it and it ends up not - I mean, we change our minds about what’s gonna happen every couple weeks,” says singer and producer Mike Shinoda.

Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park spoke of the band’s follow up to 2012’s Living Things during a fan Q&A (via Ultimate-Guitar). According to Shinoda the band is still evolving sonically: “I think that we’re still in the changing mode,” said Shinoda. “Our first two records were really like brother albums, they were similar in style and then after that we just really tried to branch away - try different things, stretch ourselves creatively, learn new things in the studio, play with new styles of music.” Mike had some really positive news regarding the next Linkin Park album, saying: “We’re in the studio working right now, I was with Chester just last night - Chester and Brad and Joe - and we were writing some new stuff,” said Mike. “So hopefully we would like to get something out to people next year.”

Chester Bennington may be lending his vocal talents to Stone Temple Pilots, but Linkin Park are by no means over. The rock / nu-metal act released their fifth studio album, ‘Living Things,’ in 2012 and the group is looking to craft a speedy follow-up for 2014. In a recent ‘Ask Anything’ chat with Linkin Park members Mike Shinoda and Steve Aoki, Shinoda expressed a desire to release the band’s sixth studio album in 2014.
