A Line in the Sand is a song by the American rock band Linkin Park . It's the last song on The Hunting Party album .
Background and composition
A Line in the Sand was written by Linkin Park himself and produced by Mike Shinoda . It was recorded in March 2014. The band originally created the intro for the album A Thousand Suns , but there was no place for it and was put aside until the band could use the track for the new album.
Stylistically speaking, A Line in the Sand takes up the Nu-Metal elements of the first two albums. It starts with an intro very reminiscent of A Thousand Suns , and then continues with a drum part that turns into a heavy nu-metal song that climaxes with a guitar solo.
