Linkin Park have announced that their new single will be called ‘Burn It Down’.
It will be released as a digital download on Monday and will be the lead single from their fifth, as yet untitled, studio album.
Lead singer Chester Bennington said that it will give fans a taste of what to expect from the new album.
He said: "All of our songs take these really big creative turns and twists throughout the process, so sometimes songs will start out as a melody or some musical chord progressions.
“Other times, they'll start out as beats, and the next thing you know they kind of evolve over the course of the making of the album.
"But what's interesting about this track is the really high energy and the really strong electronic melodies and hooks kind of set this song apart, which is why we chose it as our first single.
"We've kind of drifted into a lot more kind of electronic, digital feel, but what's interesting about this record is that a lot of songs - people might pick up on this - but a lot of the songs kind of were started as these folk-driven songs.
"So there's a very organic element to the record, as well as a very modern, kind of futuristic element too. We can't wait for our fans to hear it."
The new album is expected out in June and will include tracks 'Lost in the Echo', 'In My Remains', 'Castle of Grass' and 'I'll Be Gone'.
Bennington added: "This album is a really great representation of where we're at right now as a band.
"We're kind of really comfortable with our early nu-metal days, and we're really comfortable with where we're at in our more contemporary version of ourselves, so this is a good representation of that comfort level with our own identity as a band."
