Linkin Park is back again with another lineup to start their first release since they lost their lead singer Chester Bennington in 2017.
In a livestream on Thursday, the band, Linkin Park, shows the world their new members Emily Armstrong (vocals) and Colin Brittain (drums). Armstrong, including Mike Shinoda, who is a returning member, now shares vocal duties.
Linkin Park started their livestream with their new song, “The Emptiness Machine,” followed by a performance of “Somewhere I Belong.” Armstrong did as expected with the powerful vocals to continue their legacy, honoring Bennington even in death without imitating him. Shinoda says that the day is “very special” and introduced guitarist Alex Feder, who takes the place of Brad Delson.
The band also took the time to introduce the new album, From Zero, that will be released on November 15. They remain one of the most successful bands in the 2000s and have continued to release special editions of their previous albums following their lead singer, Bennington’s, death.
Armstrong, known for his role in the band Dead Sara, and Brittain, who is also a songwriter and producer, takes the place of Linkin Park’s ex-drummer Rob Bourdon, who is no longer a member of the band.
Linkin Park revealed the From Zero World Tour, with shows that will take place in Los Angeles, New York, London, Hamburg, Seoul, and Bogotá.
