Linkin Park have named their new album "The Hunting Party". They are billing it as a prequel to Hybrid Theory, bringing back more guitar driven sound (I'll believe that when I hear it). Guest spots on the album from Paige Hamelton from Helmet and Daron Malakian from System Of a Down. Coming out June 17th (US)

Mastodon's new album was named "Once More Round the Sun" coming sometime in the summer.

Their last album (before it was released) was also billed as a return to Hybrid Theory in terms of sound so what they regard as being guitar driven nowadays may be very different to what everyone else would regard as being guitar driven.
