Mike Shinoda’s just presented a three-song EP titled Post Traumatic. The EP marks Shinoda’s first new music since the death of his Linkin Park bandmate Chester Bennington, so the title and the themes that EP contains don’t need much explanation.
Post Traumatic is available on streaming services, but Shinoda also made an accompanying video for each of the songs. You can check them out below.
“The past six months have been a rollercoaster,” Shinoda said in a statement shared on his website. “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.”
