Earlier today (Saturday, July 6), LINKIN PARK's Mike Shinoda unveiled a preview of his new "World's On Fire" music video at the Crunchyroll industry panel at Anime Expo in downtown Los Angeles. Mike was joined onstage by Adam Sheehan, director of events, and Victoria Holden, creative producer and brand manager, at Crunchyroll.

Mike also shared how his personal interest in anime has shaped the inspiration for "World's On Fire".

This new video for 'World's On Fire' is a lighthearted video that focuses on a female protagonist as she learns to control her unique power." The "World's On Fire" music video will premiere later this summer. The song is taken from Mike's full-length solo album called "Post Traumatic", which came out last year. Some of the LP was inspired by the death almost two years ago of LINKIN PARK singer Chester Bennington. The latter was found dead in his Los Angeles-area home on July 20, 2017 after hanging himself.
