Linkin Park

In the summer of 2012, Linkin Park was riding high on the success of their fifth studio album, "Living Things," which had been released just a year prior. This album marked a return to their nu-metal roots while showcasing a refined sound that attracted both old fans and new listeners alike. The live recording from Rock im Park, captured on June 3, 2012, in Nuremberg, Germany, illustrates the band at a pivotal moment in their career, as they toured Europe to promote the album. Notably, during this period, they were also grappling with the recent loss of close bandmate Chester Bennington, an emotional thread woven into their performances. The energy at the festival is palpable, with hits like 'Burn It Down' exemplifying the band’s ability to merge electronic elements with intense rock dynamics, pushing the boundaries of their genre.
