Linkin Park have released a lyric video for their new track Battle Symphony.

It features on the band’s upcoming album One More Light which will launch on May 19.

Battle Symphony follows Heavy from the follow-up to 2014’s The Hunting Party – a track which divided the Linkin Park fanbase because it signalled a change in the group’s musical direction.

Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda has explained the change – and says they had to expand their sound to challenge themselves.

He added: “We’ve always been about mixing styles. Hybrid Theory was the name of our band before we changed it to Linkin Park.

“Linkin Park fans know that with every album you never know what you’re going to get, and the style can change dramatically and different elements, different genres that we listen to might sit more in the forefront than others.”

Linkin Park have several shows scheduled for later this year across South America and Europe.
