Out of nowhere, Mike Shinoda surprised fans with a new 3-song EP called Post Traumatic.

In a post to Facebook, Shinoda writes,

The past six months have been a rollercoaster. Amidst the chaos, I’ve started to feel an intense gratitude--for your tributes and messages of support, for the career you have allowed me to have, and for the simple opportunity to create.

Today, I’m sharing three songs I wrote and produced, with visuals that I filmed, painted, and edited myself. At its core, grief is a personal, intimate experience. As such, this is not Linkin Park, nor is it Fort Minor--it’s just me.

Art has always been the place I go when I need to sort through the complexity and confusion of the road ahead. I don’t know where this path goes, but I’m grateful I get to share it with you.

Post Traumatic is available for streaming and download here.  Videos for each track can be viewed below.

“Place To Start” (Video closes out with a replay of voicemails he received from friends checking up on him after Chester Bennington's passing.)

“Over Again”

“Watching As I Fall” (Video closes with a message Shinoda recorded during the holidays and how he's coping with the loss of Bennington and the world around him)
