LINKIN PARK has released a new episode of LPTV (Linkin Park TV), their series of short behind-the-scenes videos showcasing the band’s music-making process and lifestyle.
The latest episode, titled “From Zero: Part Of Something,” highlights the band’s September 5th global livestream concert in Los Angeles, which introduced new members Emily Armstrong (vocals) and Colin Brittain (drums). They joined returning members Mike Shinoda, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, and Brad Delson (though Alex Feder filled in for Delson on guitar that night and will continue touring with the band in his place for the foreseeable future).
LINKIN PARK has also dropped a new single titled “The Emptiness Machine” and revealed that their upcoming album, From Zero, is set to be released on November 15 through Warner. This will be the band’s first full-length album since 2017’s One More Light, which was the final album featuring late 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.”
