It looks like the new album cycle is officially about to get underway as Linkin Park have started putting some mysterious images on Instagram. The first image was black with more images being revealed as this post is made, including a second image with a glitch effect. Normally this wouldn't be out of the ordinary but as new music is expected soon it looks like something bigger might come of this. It's been mentioned that the second image is a glitched version of a previous image of Rob that was featured on their Instagram a week ago. The third image has been tweeted by all of the band members who have Instagram as well as spread by the Linkin Park Ambassador Instagram pages. The TV testing image reveals a Linkin Park Underground logo when modified. One of the more credible theories is that the image may be a calendar that points to something happening on February 13th. Each section of the image equates to 28 sections with 28 days being in February. The LPU logo happens to be on the 13th which would make Monday, February 13th, a date where something may happen if true. However this is just a theory at this point. What are Linkin Park teasing?

Xero 21 had a keen eye and said the glitch picture is the same picture of Rob from the IG timeline. You can make out the silhouette, drums and cymbal.
Not too dissimilar from the A Thousand Suns album cycle either. Distortion was a theme behind a lot of content put out prior to that release, as well as in the Meeting of A Thousand Suns documentary.
Rob's photo say "happy birthday Rob"...maybe it is the "birthday" of new music or sth. A black page and a test pattern... Or he mean that we should replace the colours shown in the test pattern from the Rob picture...
Alright, I am calling this right now. The first single will be dropped on February the 11th (Mike's Birthday) and the album will drop on March 20th (Chester's Birthday)
