Linkin Park are back with news of a new album, singer, drummer and world tour.
The band's Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell and Joe Hahn have announced the addition to their line-up of vocalist Emily Armstrong, known for fronting Dead Sara, and drummer Colin Brittain.
They have also revealed they'll be releasing a new studio album, 'From Zero', on November 15, their first since 2017. That year they put out 'One More Light' in May, but sadly two months later their vocalist Chester Bennington passed away.
As a preview of the new record, they've shared a video for its first single, The Emptiness Machine, which offers up the empassioned and melodic nu-metal they're known for, with Armstrong delivering both clean and throat-shredding vocals alongside Shinoda. The latter said:
“Before LINKIN PARK, our first band name was Xero. This album title refers to both this humble beginning and the journey we’re currently undertaking. Sonically and emotionally, it is about past, present, and future—embracing our signature sound, but new and full of life. It was made with a deep appreciation for our new and longtime 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.”
“The more we worked with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoyed their world-class talents, their company, and the things we created," he added. "We feel really empowered with this new lineup and the vibrant and energized new music we’ve made together. We’re weaving together the sonic touchpoints we’ve been known for and still exploring new ones.”
The new Linkin Park roster will hit the road together later this month for the From Zero World Tour, which will head to the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on September 11, New York's Barclays Center on September 16, Hamburg's Barclays Arena on September 22, The O2 in London on September 24, Seoul's Inspire Arena on September 28 and the Coliseo Medplus in Bogota, Colombia on November 11.
Tickets for the US shows go on general sale at 10am tomorrow (September 7), while tickets for the UK, Europe, Seoul and Colombia concerts go on general sale at 10am local time on September 13.
