LINKIN PARK ANNOUNCEMENT BRINGS UP NEW MUSIC, NEW TOUR DATES AND NEW MEMBERS

During a major livestream event in Los Angeles, Linkin Park introduced their new lineup, featuring co-vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain. They also revealed their latest single, The Emptiness Machine, which will appear on their forthcoming album, From Zero.  The band is officially back after months of swirling rumors, the nu-metal icons announced their reunion, their first original release in seven years.

Linkin Park's highly anticipated comeback album, FROM ZERO, is set for release on November 15th through Warner Records and is now available for pre-order.

About the new phase, Shinoda states: "Before Linkin Park, the name of our first band was Xero. The title of this album refers to both this humble beginning and the journey we are currently taking. Sonically and emotionally, it's about the past, present, and future, embracing our signature sound, but in a new and full way. It was done with a deep appreciation for our new and old bandmates, our friends, our family, and our fans. We are proud of what Linkin Park has become over the years and excited about the journey ahead."

Right off the bat, "The Emptiness Machine" channels the band's DNA, harnessing the group's explosive energy and maintaining the characteristics of their unique sound. A catchy hit, with hypnotic melodies by Shinoda that pass into Armstrong's sweeping chorus, over distorted riffs and striking drums.
