Linkin Park’s Mike Shinode released new 3 track EP called ‘Post Traumatic’. It’s first new music from Shinoda following the tragic passing of his band-mate and friend Chester Bennington last year.

“The past six months have been a rollercoaster,” Shinoda said in a statement. “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.”

Now of course, what does this mean for the future of LInkin Park ? In a social media conversation today to get word out on ‘Post Traumatic’ , Shinoda shared that the band still intends on working together.

I have every intention on continuing with LP, and the guys feel the same. We have a lot of rebuilding to do, and questions to answer, so it’ll take time. https://t.co/nXLxTSd40J
