LINKIN PARK performed their new single, “The Emptiness Machine,” live on last night’s episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” (Tuesday, September 17). Watch the video of the performance below.
“The Emptiness Machine” was released earlier this month and is set to be featured on LINKIN PARK‘s forthcoming album, From Zero, due out November 15 through Warner. This will be the band’s first full-length release since 2017’s One More Light, which was their final album before the passing of lead vocalist Chester Bennington.
In a recent interview with Brian Haddad and Kenzie Roman from Chicago’s Q101 radio station, LINKIN PARK‘s Mike Shinoda discussed the band’s decision to reform with a new lineup, now including singer Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, alongside returning members Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, and Joe Hahn.
Shinoda said: “In the middle of the process, we were open to, like, maybe the lineup is like a moving lineup, maybe there’s multiple vocalists, maybe it’s a different name, stuff like that. And then as the music came into focus, we were, like, ‘This is as LINKIN PARK an album as we could make. It’s so LINKIN PARK that if we call it something else, then we are idiots.’ Because it would be like misrepresentation. It’d be silly. And when people hear more of the album, they will understand that.”
