Released on August 2, 2010,[2] it is the first single from their fourth studio album, A Thousand Suns, which was released on September 8, 2010. The music video for the song, directed by the band's turntablist Joe Hahn, was released on August 25, 2010.[3] "The Catalyst" is used in the trailer and credits of the video game Medal of Honor and also the opening song of Namco-Bandai's Arcade game, Extreme Vs.. It was also used in select commercials of the Discovery Channel series, Surviving the Cut. The song was also featured in the video game Linkin Park Revenge for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. "The Catalyst" has also been used in the advertisement for the 2011 movie The Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew McConaughey. "The Catalyst", along with five other songs from A Thousand Suns, are featured in the "Linkin Park Track Pack" as downloadable content for the rhythm video game Warriors of Rock. The track pack was released on October 19, 2010. BackgroundFrom July 9, 2010 until July 25, 2010, Linkin Park (in collaboration with MySpace.com) held the contest "Linkin Park, Featuring You". In this contest, fans could download stems from the album's first single, "The Catalyst", remix the stems and/or write their own parts for the song on any instrument. The winner of this contest was Czesław "NoBraiN" Sakowski from Świdnica, Poland, whose remix was featured as an additional downloadable track on the Best Buy version of A Thousand Suns, and also available on Napster.[4][5] The liner notes for A Thousand Suns also credit Sakowski with "Supplemental Programming" on "When They Come for Me", the album's fifth track. The top 20 remixes that were selected by the band are being considered for future use as b-sides and online downloads, as seen in the "Linkin Park, featuring YOU Winner" episode of the band's LPTV series.[6] Two of the remixes (by DIGITALOMAT and ill Audio) have since been released as via the band's webpage as free mp3 downloads, while two others (by Cale Pellick and DJ Endorphin) have been released via the iTunes EP version, released exclusively in Europe.[7] "The Catalyst" has also been featured in the trailer of the video game Medal of Honor, which premiered on August 1, 2010 and was directed by Joe Hahn. It was also featured in the game's end credits.[8][9] The song was also featured in commercials of Discovery Channel's Shark Week in the summer of 2010. It was also used during the 16th annual X Games competition.[10] On September 15, 2010, Warner Music Japan announced that the song will be the official theme song of Extreme Vs.[11][12][13][14] On August 31, 2010, it was announced that the band would perform the single live for the first time at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards on September 12, 2010.[15] The venue of the debut live performance was Griffith Observatory, an iconic location used in Hollywood movies.[16][17] However, the venue was held secret until the performance but was revealed to be a prominent landmark of Los Angeles.[18] The clip for the 2010 VMAs performance was shown at the 2017 edition, as a tribute to Bennington, who died a month before the awards show. Music videoThe video for the song was filmed in July and was also directed by Joe Hahn. According to bassist Phoenix,{{Citation needed|date=August 2010}} the video contains references to the Bhagavad Gita and J. Robert Oppenheimer as well as the Christian apocalypse, which are three themes that are also used in the album.[19][20] When coming up with the idea for the video, Hahn said he thought about what it would be like if mankind had to accept their fate in a time of despair.[21] The video premiered on August 26, 2010.[22] The video begins at a foggy town and Mike is seen singing in his Stone Island hoodie in a rusted car and the scene then shows people running from the town. The entire town is covered in smoke. The band members are shown in remains of buildings, and Chester sings while submerged in water. Numerous people with gas masks are shown. Later in the video, the people clash with the gas-masked-men, throwing powder at each other, while the band members throw powder at each other as well. The video ends with Chester, still being submerged in water. The video was released on their official YouTube channel on August 25, 2010.[23] CoversPendulum covered the song on September 22, 2010 on BBC Radio 1 as part of the Live Lounge show.[24]Reception"The Catalyst" has been met with generally positive reception from critics. Jason Lipshutz of Billboard called the song a "nearly six-minute anthem of aggression", emphasizing on the transition from electronica to a slow dirge midway through the track. He also added that it recalls the vocal chants from Muse and political commentaries from Green Day, which the band fuses to create "an original, if a bit awkward, transition from twisty techno to fist-pumping rock".[25] Jason Treuen of The Music Network, in his review of A Thousand Suns, called the song "the best distillation of Linkin Park 2.0", and concluded by noting that "If [the album] was a film, this would be the victorious fight scene.".[26] The New York Post named "The Catalyst" the 139th best song of 2010, saying "An electronic rave transforms into a power ballad."[27] Fan reception, however, has been mixed, with some criticizing the band from moving away from their original sound too much and some have considered the song a 'sellout'. Others praised the band's experimentation and evolution that showcased the band's new direction. Commercial performance"The Catalyst" debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard Rock Songs chart, with 12.2 million audience impressions.[28] It became the first song in the chart's 14-month history to debut at the top spot.[28] This gave the band their second No. 1 single on the chart, tying them with Alice in Chains and Three Days Grace for most No. 1 singles on the chart. It also debuted at No. 3 on the US Alternative Songs chart, becoming the band's fourteenth top five single on the chart (placing them behind Green Day for most top five's on the chart).[28] In its third week on the chart, it reached No. 1, becoming the band's ninth No. 1 on the chart, and tied for second most across all artists on the chart.[29] Although the song charted high on the Rock and Alternative Songs charts, it was one of the band's lowest-charting songs on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, peaking just outside the top ten at No. 12. Additionally, it debuted at No. 35 on the US Billboard Hot 100, selling 60,000 downloads in its first week, and became the band's ninth top forty single on the Hot 100. After its debut, it fell to No. 89, but "The Catalyst" rebounded to No. 72 and eventually rose to No. 27 upon the release of A Thousand Suns. The song debuted at No. 20 on the US Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart in its first week.[30] It achieved a Gold certification from the RIAA.[31] Track listingAll songs written and composed by Linkin Park. {{Track listing|headline = CD single |title1 = The Catalyst |length1 = 5:44 |title2 = New Divide |length2 = 4:55 |note2 = Live }}{{Track listing |headline = Digital download |title1 = The Catalyst |length1 = 5:42 }}{{Track listing |headline = NoBraiN remix single[32] |title1 = The Catalyst |note1 = feat.
