Revision as of 09:34, 27 July 2018
Viscera is a fan-made remix album consisting of reimagined versions of songs from the 2014 album The Hunting Party by Linkin Park. Its good reception eventually led the band to acquire all the rights to the album and release it to their official fan club, the Linkin Park Underground.
Background
Fan site LPAssociation posted on Christmas 2014:
"If you're a follower of the Linkin Park remix community, enjoy the LPAssociation's Monthly Mix-Up challenges or just want to breathe some new life into the band's sixth album THE HUNTING PARTY, then we have a special treat for you today. The Linkin Park Association is proud to present a brand new collaboration project comprised of some of the best, most talented and well known remix artists in the Linkin Park fan community.
Titled 'VISCERA', this album is far more than just a simple reinterpretation of the tracks found on the band's sixth studio release. Instead it is a completely new beast. Much like the 12 tracks on The Hunting Party challenged the unprepared masses, VISCERA follows in the same risky footsteps by serving up a very different record to the previous fan-made remix album "Reliving Things". In the works for over five months, this album is much less a 'slice of MMU talent' and more a collective of determined and focused musicians with a shared love of Linkin Park's music, who wanted to pay respects to The Hunting Party in the best way possible. Having featured the successful fan favorite "Reliving Things" in the past, it is both an honor and a pleasure to once again put the talents of the remix community on display with VISCERA and we hope you enjoy the record. Without any further ado, we present to you:"[1]
