Linkin Park has been building to a grand reissue release celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Hybrid Theory, but the band took a moment to mark the 10th anniversary of their fourth studio album A Thousand Suns.

In honor of the album's 10th anniversary, Linkin Park shared the making-of documentary "Meeting of a Thousand Suns" to their YouTube channel. Embedded below, the nearly 30-minute mini-doc was originally released via DVD, and it's the first time the doc has made its way to YouTube since it was first released.

A Thousand Suns was produced by Rick Rubin and Mike Shinoda. Upon release, it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart moving 241,000 units in its first week. It's been certified Platinum (moving 1 million units) in the United States.
