Band Of The Week: Linkin Park

Image
Slight Band History: (In Memory Of Chester) Linkin Park was founded by three high school friends; Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon and Brad Delson. After graduating from high school, the three took their music interest in a more serious note recruiting Joe Hahn and Mark Wakefield to perform in their band but frustration came fast when the band couldn't land a record deal due to this the bands current vocalist Mark leaves the band for other projects. After a time searching they recruit Chester Bennington, Bennington was formerly from a post-grunge band named "Grey Daze” after this they renamed the band from Xero to Hybrid Theory. They released a self-titled album and with the band's changed in style and sound thanks to the mixture of Bennington and Shinoda they once again changed their name to Linkin Park a homage to Santa Monica's Lincoln Park(now called Christine Emerson Reed Park) after a couple of rejections with major record deals the band goes to Jeff Blue

Music In Video Games: Bioshock Series

Just like the post of " Uncharted Series " I just recently passed all Bioshock games including all the dlc's thanks to the Bioshock Collection, now I have already played Bioshock before but I loved this series so much I decided to get the collection and pass it all over again. Now saying that I can say that I really enjoy Bioshock and have come to consider the series my favorite trilogy in games, there is something about how they are made that always entrance me and leaves me awed every time, saying that music has a lot to do with it in these games because other than the era they are set on the scores are fantastic and give you a sense of dread but amazement at the same time that I can't quite explain it. That being said just like the " Uncharted " post I will be posting 2 songs from each game including DLC(except Minerva's Den) that are special to me in some way or the other. Enjoy!
