It’s fair to say that September’s unveiling of Emily Armstrong as the new singer of Californian nu-metal band Linkin Park was met with a mixed reaction by fans. Opinions on social media ranged from “absolutely disgusting decision” to “f–king phenomenal”.

Linkin Park, the inventive American rap-rock band who wove electronica into its heavy, melodic compositions, return with their first new album in seven years, “From Zero.”

With singles like “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy Is the Crown,” Linkin Park’s newest record breathes life into their discography after their 7-year hiatus.

LINKIN PARK—Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain—proudly present their much-anticipated new album, FROM ZERO. Listen to it here!

After seven years of silence, Linkin Park returned in early September with the song "The Emptiness Machine" and an intimate performance in Los Angeles, both of which revealed Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara as their new co-vocalist alongside Mike Shinoda. They also shared a handful of 2024 tour dates and details about From Zero.

Mike Shinoda, co-founder and lead co-vocalist of iconic alt-rock band Linkin Park, recently celebrated the release of their latest album, From Zero, with a heartfelt note reminiscing the journey to the same.

Talk about a welcome commercial reception. Linkin Park's Living Things debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 when it emerged in June 2012. Twelve years after the success of Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park showed the world they were still the hottest rock band around.
