Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda and Trivium's Matt Heafy will be joining forces to work on a new tune.

The collaboration will go down this Friday (February 8) starting at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST on Shinoda’s Twitch channel. When it comes to this new track, Shinoda stated:

“I got Matt’s blessing to get weird with the track too. We’re not gonna just make a metal track. We’re not gonna make a Trivium track. If you wanted a Trivium track you could just get a Trivium track. You could go to Matt’s channel and get that. So I’m gonna take his vocal, and even his guitar, and chop them into little tiny bits and run them through a meat grinder and then we’re gonna make a track out of it. I don’t even know what we’re gonna make.
The track he sent is so… it’s, like, EPIC! It’s very, like, Matt standing on a mountaintop with a falcon on his wrist who flies away and collects the bones of enemy clans, enemy warriors.”

Last year, both Trivium and Shinoda delivered some new tunes for their fans. Trivium unveiled their ninth studio album What the Dead Men Say, which peaked at number three on both the Top Rock Albums and Hard Rock Albums charts. Shinoda released Dropped Frames Volumes 1 - 3, which was a collaborative project with their Twitch audience.
