   #9: Linkin Park-Oru payanam ft. TOAC (@TalesOfACinephile) Rakshana

   Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of sensitive themes including suicide, self-harm, and depression. Every year, September is observed as "National Suicide Prevention Month." For those of us who grew up in the Y2K era, the songs of 'Linkin Park' were a literal lifesaver, helping us navigate and tackle our darkest thoughts. With the "Unshatter" Linkin Park documentary releasing on September 30, 2026, I teamed up with Rakshana akka from the 'Tales of a Cinephile' Instagram page for a deep dive into the band's legacy. In this episode, we talk about the origins of this revolutionary Nu Metal band, Chester Bennington’s incredible vocal artistry, our personal connection with their music through different phases of life, how these songs served as a powerful medium for psychological catharsis, and the silent yet resounding comeback of the band in the current era. This episode will be a great treat for long-time Linkin Park fans, and for beginners, it serves as the perfect cue to discover their music. We have also given our fav five picks from the band's discography at the end of the episode for the beginners to discover the artistry of Linkin Park! We also have a brand-new intro track for the show composed by my best friend, Shyam A, so do share your feedback on the music and show some love to our nanbar! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode. Do give it a listen and let us know your thoughts!
