Mike Shinoda has released three new songs. The ‘Post Traumatic E.P.’ is Shinoda’s first music since the death of his Linkin Park co-founder Chester Bennington.
“The past six months have been a rollercoaster,” Shinoda said about the new release on Instagram. “Amidst the chaos, I’ve started to feel an intense gratitude – for your tributes and messages of support, for the career you have allowed me to have, and for the simple opportunity to create. Today, I’m sharing three songs I wrote and produced, with visuals that I filmed, painted, and edited myself. At its core, grief is a personal, intimate experience. As such, this is not Linkin Park, nor is it Fort Minor – it’s just me. Art has always been the place I go when I need to sort through the complexity and confusion of the road ahead. I don’t know where this path goes, but I’m grateful I get to share it with you.”
The three songs ‘Place To Start’, ‘Over Again’ and ‘Watching As I Fall’ address Bennington’s suicide in July 2017 and Shinoda’s path dealing with the tragedy.
Shinoda describes the new songs as the result of his healing process. The track ‘Over Again’ deals head on with Chester’s death. “It was a month since he passed, maybe less / And no one knew what to do, we were such a mess/ We were texting, we were calling, we were checking in / We said we ought to play a show in honor of our friend.”
