Following days of rumors, speculation, and 100-hour countdowns, Linkin Park have unveiled their new two members — co-vocalist Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara and drummer Colin Brittain (G Flip, ONE OK ROCK).
The announcement coincides with Linkin Park’s first album since 2017, From Zero, which arrives Nov. 15 via Warner Records. For years, fans have speculated on whether Linkin Park were due to make their return after the 2017 passing of Chester Bennington, whose singular voice helped launch the band into the stratosphere. Now, the band will enter a whole new era that acknowledges the past while embracing possibility, which includes playing a handful of live shows in September and November prior to the album’s release.

Of the new album, Mike Shinoda shares, “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 continues. “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.”
