The 16-track album will include the two tracks premiering today, alongside the three tracks from the Post Traumatic EP released earlier this year.

“It’s a journey out of grief and darkness, not into grief and darkness,” Shinoda says. Ultimately, Post Traumatic is an album about healing. “If people have been through something similar, I hope they feel less alone,” he says. “If they haven’t been through this, I hope they feel grateful.”

Additionally, Shinoda will perform a handful of solo shows this summer, including the Identity LA in Los Angeles, Reading and Leeds Festival and the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan.

Post Traumatic is due out June 15. Listen to “Nothing Makes Sense Anymore,” and watch the video for “Crossing A Line,” below.
