LINKIN PARK's Mike Shinoda will release a new solo record, "Dropped Frames, Vol. 1", on July 10 via his Kenji Kobayashi Productions label. The LP will feature the first batch of instrumentals inspired by Shinoda's live Twitch streams from his home studio, with assistance from his fans.
"'Dropped Frames' is just as much about the live channel as it is about the 'album," Mike said in a statement. "The collection of songs is a highlight reel of the tracks I make on the channel, but a big part of the experience is the stream itself.
"When I start, I usually have very little idea of where it will go. What comes out is a product of the viewers' suggestions, my spur-of-the-moment ideas, and whatever inexplicable magic is floating in between."
You can now listen to the first three songs from "Dropped Frames, Vol. 1" — "Open Door", "Osiris" and "Super Galaxtica" — below.
"Dropped Frames, Vol. 1" track listing:
01. Open Door 02. Super Galaxtica 03. Duckbot 04. Cupcake Cake
05. El Rey Demonio 06. Doodle Buzz 07. Channeling Pt. 1 (feat. Dan Mayo) 08. Osiris 09. Babble Bobble 10. Session McSessionface 11. Neon Crickets 12. Booty Down
Mike's full-length solo album called "Post Traumatic", came out last year. Some of the disc was inspired by the death nearly three years ago of LINKIN PARK singer Chester Bennington. The latter was found dead in his Los Angeles-area home on July 20, 2017 after hanging himself. LINKIN PARK headlined an all-star tribute concert for Bennington in October 2017 in Los Angeles but has not announced any future plans for recording or touring.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH have released their highly anticipated seventh studio album AND JUSTICE FOR NONE (Friday, May 18). For the new album--their first full length since 2015’s Got Your Six--the group re-teamed with longtime producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed) and once again stepped up their game. With their customary airtight riffs, muscular grooves and seismic melodies, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH maintain their signature intensity, all while pushing themselves into new territories on AND JUSTICE FOR NONE. For all physical and digital configurations and exclusive, limited-edition merchandise bundles go to: https://fivefingerdeathpunch.com.
AND JUSTICE FOR NONE has reached streaming milestones in the five songs released prior to its official street date leading with first single “Sham Pain” which has reached the #2 slot on iTunes’ Metal Songs chart and debuted Top 10 on the U.S. Rock Song Chart. To date, the song has received almost 12 million streams. Watch the band’s official video for the song - a visual interpretation of the track’s tongue-in-cheek-message about life on the road - HERE.
“Fake” has generated almost 8 million streams and made the viral chart on Spotify in multiple countries. “Gone Away,” the band’s previous single (a cover of The Offspring’s 1997 hit) reached #2 at Active Rock radio. “Gone Away” has received over 35 million streams in the U.S. and has sold over 120,000 downloads.
2018 marks the beginning of new chapter in the history of the multi-platinum hard rock quintet featuring--Ivan Moody (vocals), Zoltan Bathory (guitar), Jeremy Spencer (drums), Jason Hook (guitar), and Chris Kael (bass). The group overcame a well-documented legal battle with their label alongside a near break-up only to defy the odds and to come back together stronger than ever.
The band has garnered over 1.3 billion streams on Spotify since 2015, daily out-streaming iconic peers such as System of a Down, Iron Maiden, Korn, Slipknot, and Black Sabbath. FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH are streaming only second to Metallica in their genre and are out-streaming mainstream artists including U2, Radiohead, and Muse on a daily basis
Currently on tour with co-headliners Breaking Benjamin and special guests Nothing More and Bad Wolves in July. The summer amphitheater tour, co-produced by Live Nation and Frank Productions, launched July 16 in Seattle crisscrossing arenas in 32-cities nationwide through mid-September. Fans purchasing a ticket to the tour will also support a good cause close to the band’s heart. Five Finger Death Punch will donate $0.50 from each ticket sold to C.O.P.S - Concerns Of Police Survivors, an organization whose mission is rebuilding shattered lives of survivors and co-workers affected by line of duty deaths, through partnerships with law enforcement and the community.
