"Watch the ball."
"Everybody get ready."
"Nice!"
"Run, run, run run!"

Genius Annotation

“The Summoning” is the fourth track off of Linkin Park’s sixth studio album The Hunting Party.

According to Mike Shinoda on Twitter, this short instrumental track was added late in the process to prepare the listener for “War,” one of the heaviest (and shortest) songs in the band’s discography. When asked in one of his livestreams, he also stated that there were no samples taken from the band’s earlier material.

The track has never been played live in full before and is the least streamed track from The Hunting Party on Spotify.
