Linkin Park’s new song “Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion!” will be unlocked upon completion of all missions. “In The End”, “New Divide”, and “Crawling” will also feature in the game, it is the first time that a band releases a new song through a mobile game!

“Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion!”will be available soon on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad through the iTunes App Store.

Linkin Park Creates Charity Album For Haiti

Linkin Park put their Haiti charity album within less than a week. The album includes one unreleased track from the band and two other produced by Mike Shinoda. Other tracks on the album include Dave Matthews Band, the All-American Rejects, Peter Gabriel, Slash, Alanis Morissette, and more.

The album is titled "Download To Donate" and can be found on Linkin Park's non-profit site Music For Relief.

"Just last Monday, I was saying how I would like to start directing more of Music For Relief’s attention to Haiti and developing some sustainable housing,” says Linkin Park bassist David “Phoenix” Farrell. “Then the earthquake happened Tuesday, and we really started scrambling to figure out a way that we could garner as much support from the music community as we could to hopefully raise a ton of money for the cause.”

“It’s a very low cost charity,” he says.”For this, 100% of the money Music For Relief raises is going to a couple of different charities: the UN Foundation and Habitat for Humanity. And Dave Matthews Band brought their BAMA Works relief effort into the mix as well. 100% of what we raise is going towards those different efforts.”

New Linkin Park Album Coming Soon

Linkin Park is working on their new album now that Chester Bennington's side project "Dead By Sunrise" is finished and nearing its October 13th release.

The band would like to get to a sound simillar to "Hybrid Theory", but different. The hit single "New Divide" is in no way an indication as to what the new album will sound like.

Here's what Mike Shinoda has to say about the untitled new album:

"We mentally want to get back to [2000's "Hybrid Theory"] not because we want to sound like [that], because I don't think we do," Shinoda says of the forthcoming Linkin Park album, which they aim to release in the first half of 2010. "But we want to make this record a record with identity, hopefully not one you've heard before. One you can listen to and say, 'That's brand new... It's definitely Linkin Park, but it's definitely different.'"
