LINKIN PARK: NEW VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH CHESTER BENNINGTON AVAILABLE

A brand new four-minute video interview with LINKIN PARK singer Chester Bennington, conducted by Altitude TV, has been posted at YouTube.

LINKIN PARK didn't set out to make a concept record with the band's new album, 'Minutes to Midnight', but DJ Joseph Hahn told Launch that as the project came together over the last year and a half, it sort of turned into one. 'It speaks for the time that we live in,' he said. 'I think also on a more personal level, the time that we live in as individuals within the group. I think as far as the concept, it's that, you know, like, 'Minutes to Midnight' meaning there's a sense of urgency, you know. Something's gonna happen at midnight. It could be a very negative thing or a very positive thing, but the fact that you don't know makes it mysterious and exciting and kind of scary at the same time.'

'Minutes to Midnight' came out on Tuesday (May 15). A special deluxe edition of the album comes with an interactive DVD containing downloadable MP3s for all the songs, videos, a ringtone of the band's current single, 'What I've Done', and more.

Joseph Hahn appeared at the Suru store in Los Angeles on Monday (May 14) to unveil and sign copies of a collectible Japanese toy that he designed called a ningyo. Ningyos are traditional Japanese dolls and this particular brand only makes 500 per run, making Hahn's figure an immediate collector's item. The dolls will retail in the U.S. for $80.
