Template:Infobox single "The Catalyst" is the fourteenth track on A Thousand Suns as well as its lead single. It starts with string-like synths with Mike singing before an off-beat drum beat kicks in. The song builds slowly until its electronic breakdown, after which comes a piano part that builds into an epic climax with resonating drums and guitar. The song was announced in July 2010, a few weeks before the track came out, with Mike releasing the artwork for it ahead of the song.[1] The song debuted on August 2, 2010, becoming the first song in history to debut at number one on the US Billboard Rock Chart, as well as reaching number on on the US Rock Charts and becoming the Most Added song to US Alternative, Active Rock, and Mainstream Rock radio. The trailer for 'Medal Of Honor' which premiered with the song on the same day also became the number one most watched video on YouTube worldwide.[2][3]
Background
While narrowing down tracks for the album, the band knew "The Catalyst" would be an important song, even while they were working on it. The lyrics of the song that contained "a thousand suns" inspired the imagery that captured the album's essence, thereby becoming the album's title. "The Catalyst" serves as a representation of the 3D experience the band wanted to have the album emulate, raising questions when listening to the song coming back on the album, having the conversation continue throughout it. The band knew the song would be the lead single for awhile, as it represents the journey of the album to them.[4] Chester has stated that they nailed the lyrics in the song, and working on it helped put the band in the headspace they needed to be in for the rest of the album's recording.[5]
The band chose "The Catalyst" as a lead single for A Thousand Suns because the felt it represented a change in the band's sound the best. Mike elaborated, saying "it wasn’t like this is an indicator of how the whole album sounds, it was just an indicator of the change that was happening." He felt that the chorus wasn't actually the most catchy part of the song, and rather the first verse and the last part were, as well as the turntable solo. The song was written by a process known as automatic writing, as suggested by Rick Rubin (this process was also used prominently in "Blackout"). Describing how the song began piecing together, Mike explained, "I was just playing the organ sound that happens in the intro and I started singing the words that basically were the foundation of what ended up being the final vocal; maybe 50 to 75 percent the same." Mike attributed the track's six minute length to the nostalgia of listening to a record from start to finish, using the excitement of putting a needle on a vinyl back in the day as a comparison to today's practice of listening to music in parts rather than as a whole.[6]
Remix
Beginning on July 9, 2010, a remix contest was held in association with MySpace, where fans could submit a remix with selected parts of "The Catalyst" (since the full song was not yet released). The winner would be able to meet with the band in the studio to work on the new record.[7] The point of the challenge was to make something out of these limited parts.[8] Contestants were allowed to write something over them, mute sounds and write something totally new as long as they included any audible portion of any one of the original stems in their submission.[9] The entries were submitted through the Indaba Music app on MySpace which also featured mixer fans could use to create their remixes online.[10] Mike Shinoda stated, "Our albums are the foundation of who we are as a band, and reserving a spot for a fan to play on one of our songs felt like a way to show our dedication to them. There are a lot of unknowns about what might get submitted for this contest, but that's what makes it fun. Our fans continually energize us with their creativity and dedication, so I think they're going to come up with something great."[11]
The winner was Czesław Sakowski (also known as NoBraiN), an English teacher from Swidnica, Poland[12] whose remix got him into the studio with the band, ending up with him working on "When They Come For Me" and "Jornada Del Muerto", though only his contributions to "When They Come For Me" made it onto the record.[13] His remix was also included in the HMV and BestBuy editions of A Thousand Suns and was released as a digital single. He was invited to the band's show in Berlin, Germany on the 2010 European Tour, the first stop of the tour, where he met the band and had his remix played before the band went onstage.
Other remixes from the contest were subsequently released by the band. Remixes by DJ Endorphin and Cale Pellick appeared on "The Catalyst" EP,[14] the entries by DIGITALOMAT and ill Audio were featured on Linkin Park's official site in 2010,[15] and Keaton Hashimoto's remix was featured on the Download To Donate For Haiti 2.0 compilation in January 2011.[16]
Other remixes include the Does It Offend You, Yeah? remix that appeared on the "Waiting For The End" single and "The Catalyst" EP. A remix of that remix was then used on a Linkin Park DLC for DJ Hero 2. A remix by King Fantastic also appears on "The Catalyst" EP.

Music Video
Medal Of Honor Trailer
A music video featuring a shortened version of "The Catalyst" was directed by Joe Hahn to promote the EA videogame Medal Of Honor.[17] The video, a mix of live and in-game footage of intense modern military action, debuted exclusively on the Medal Of Honor website on August 1st, 2010, one day before the song's radio premiere.[18]
Regarding the band's relationship with the company, Phoenix said, "We were talking with EA a while back about doing some sort of partnership and we had gotten to know them pretty well. I had played Medal of Honor for quite a long time and I think the first version of it I played was maybe 10 years ago. We started kicking around the idea of doing some music with some different titles and Medal of Honor came up, and for us it was a really easy fit. We kind of grew up playing games, starting with the NES and moving through different consoles. We’re well aware a lot of our fans are gamers. It’s just a really natural and easy way for us to continue to keep in contact with our fans and for them to keep in contact with us."[19]
Lyric Video
A lyric video for "The Catalyst" was created by #BLAH82 and uploaded to Linkin Park's official YouTube channel on August 03, 2010.[20] Mike Shinoda wrote on his blog, "Here’s a fun little quickie video some of our peeps made. Someone on our team (thanks Nate) put it up on the official YouTube channel so you guys had a version with lyrics out there. In case it isn’t obvious, this isn’t the official video for the song, ha! That’s being overseen by Joe Hahn, and will be coming soon…"[21]
Music Video
The music video for "The Catalyst" was released on midnight on August 25, 2010 via MTV.com and VH1.com before premiering everywhere else at 8 PM EST/PST. It was directed by Joe Hahn, and features him trying something different from his usual productions, being a more abstract video than his previous works.[22] Of its many scenes, it features Mike sitting in car with a hood over his head, Chester screaming and seemingly drowning as water rises, and is set in a very foggy setting. Shinoda explained the concept of the video, saying "it kind of comes from the idea of if you could imagine when nuclear fission was invented, or a moment in time when something can be used for positive or negative." He continued, “something can be beautiful or it can be destructive. Or even, you know, if you’ve ever seen a dangerous fire from far away, it’s devastating up close, but from far away, it can be beautiful. Those are the kind of themes that run throughout the album, and they’re also themes that you see in the video."[23]
Linkin Park worked with Ghost Town Media's VFX team which was composed of Brandon Parvini, Jeff Lichtfuss and David Torno with freelancers Gabriel Perez and Tae Lee. David Torno talked about the creation of the video in a Trapcode article, "On The Catalyst, there was more of a need for realism and a VFX approach was needed more than a motion graphics feel. We had used Particular in this case to add falling ash in a few shots for a post appocoliptic world. Horizon was also used to add a sky to a bridge shot where the camera flys around to reveal a city in ruins."[24]
The video was filmed in June 2010, while the band was still figuring out what the title of the album would be.[25]

Live
"The Catalyst" was debuted at KROQ's Kevin and Bean Breakfast Show, and was played at every show of the cycle with the exception of the first show of the 2011 North American tour in Sunrise, Florida. The song almost always followed "Fallout", and the pairing was typically used to open the encore, with the exceptions of set B-1, B-9, and the one-off Madrid setlist. The song also frequently had a synth transition outro that led into the "The Messenger" when "The Catalyst" was played before it, starting with the show in Buenos Aires until the end of 2010. On the 2011 North American tour, "The Catalyst" opened the encore alongside "Fallout" in set A-1, and was played mid-set in the others, after "Leave Out All The Rest" in set B-11, "Iridescent" in set B-13, and "Breaking The Habit" in set C-5 and C-6. The European and Asian tours had "The Catalyst", along with "Fallout", opening the encore in set E, and following "Breaking The Habit" in set A and the Moscow setlist, "Iridescent" in set C, and "Shadow Of The Day" in the Singapore setlist. Since "Fallout" was dropped from sets B and D, "The Catalyst" alone followed "Breaking The Habit" in set B and "Numb" in set D. A remix of the song mashup up with the Does It Offend You, Yeah? remix was used at the band's presentation of A Thousand Horizons in Japan.
"The Catalyst" returned for the majority of the Living Things cycle. The short, European tour had the song following the "LOATR/SOTD/Iridescent" medley in both setlists, and following "Crawling" at the North Hollywood rehearsal prior to the Honda Civic Tour. The song didn't change position for the rest of the Living Things cycle, and wasn't played after the cycle ended. At the Buenos Aires show in 2012, it was given a short piano outro, and the performance at the 2013 Hong Kong summit had a jam outro.
During the touring for The Hunting Party, snippets of "The Catalyst" were used quite frequently for various reasons. Mashup Intro #1 featured the bridge instrumental of "The Catalyst", the long mashup intro of "Until It's Gone" included Mike and Chester singing the bridge portion of the song, and Chester frequently led the crowd in a sing-a-long version of the bridge part of the song over the extended bridge of "Bleed It Out". Mashup Intro #2, which replaced Mashup Intro #1 once Carnivores started, had an effected clip of the bridge vocals of "The Catalyst" included.
"The Catalyst" made its big return to the stage during the first show of the One More Light touring cycle, where it opened the show with "Fallout", which featured verses from "Roads Untraveled" instead of "Burning In The Skies". The song was shortened, cutting the electronic breakdown and the third chorus, going straight into the bridge. Over the first half of the bridge, the synth lead from the electronic breakdown was played. In the headlining set, the song was moved down to fourth after "Burn It Down". The same shortened version of the song was used at the Hollywood Bowl tribute show, where Deryck Whibley and Frank Zummo from Sum 41 and Jon Green joined the band for the song.
While touring in support of his solo album Post Traumatic, Mike added an impromptu shortened piano version of "The Catalyst" to open the encore in Padua. He would do this version of the song again two more times, in Ludwigsburg and during his second night in Tel Aviv, with the latter being done due to the microphones on stage dying.
