Linkin Park have just unleashed a goodie-stuffed 20th anniversary edition of their earth-shattering debut album Hybrid Theory, and among the highlights is a never-before-heard demo of a song called ‘Pictureboard’.
The track appears on a disc dubbed ‘Forgotten Demos’ inside the Hybrid Theory: 20th Anniversary Edition super deluxe box set, and while the recording itself is a bit rough around the edges (as most demos are) the early Linkin Park sound is unmistakable; glitchy production, duelling Chester Bennington/Mike Shinoda vocals and a very nu metal-sounding chorus melody.
Apparently the band used to play this one live back when they were still calling themselves Xero.
Give it a listen below or get your mits on the super deluxe box set and other formats of the Hybrid Theory 20th Anniversary Edition right here.
