Grammy Award-winning band Linkin Park is set to release new material this fall. A video for the first single off the highly anticipated album, A Thousand Suns, will debut in a few weeks on MTV.
Linkin Park DJ Joe Hahn directed the video and talked about his vision: "When coming up with the idea of the visual piece to accompany the song, I thought of the end. What would it look like and feel like if someone pushed the button to decide our fate?"
Linkin Park bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell commented on the new video. He told MTV News: "So the look of it is very different. There’s a lot of energy in it, and for me, that’s what makes for a good video. It adds something to the song, and that’s what makes me like this particular video even more."
MTV News reports "The Catalyst video premieres at midnight on August 25 (technically that’s the 26th) on MTV.com and VH1.com, and then on MTV, VH1, MTV2, mtvU, MTV Hits, MTV Tr3s and all MTV international territories at 8 p.m. ET/PT on August 26."
