Linkin Park were joined onstage by Architects frontman Sam Carter last night, July 08th, for a surprise performance of the nü-metal classic “One Step Closer”. The collaborative moment took place during the first of two sold-out shows at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany.
Fan-filmed footage of the performance has since surfaced online, capturing the explosive energy shared between the platinum-certified nü-metal icons and one of modern metalcore’s most commanding voices.
Architects are serving as direct support on this current leg of Linkin Park’s tour, and will reprise that role again tonight (July 09th) for the second night at the same venue.
