'In the End', Linkin Park Is Back: Band Returns 7 Years After Chester Bennington's Tragic Death

Linkin Park has introduced a fresh lineup, including lead vocalist Emily Armstrong from Dead Sara and drummer Colin Brittain, marking their first release since Chester Bennington's passing in 2017. The band revealed the single "The Emptiness Machine" and announced a new album, 'From Zero', set to drop on November 15.

The band’s success in the 2000s was largely driven by Chester Bennington's powerful voice, which blended seamlessly with their signature rock and rap sound. Bennington tragically passed away in 2017, but his influence has remained central to the band’s identity, even as they explore new musical directions.

Emily Armstrong, the new lead singer, is known for her work with Dead Sara, an alt-rock band. Armstrong brings a fresh energy to Linkin Park, having previously lent her vocals to songs across genres and collaborated with artists like Courtney Love and Demi Lovato.

Producer and songwriter Colin Brittain, who has worked with notable rock bands like Papa Roach and All Time Low, steps in as the band’s new drummer, replacing Rob Bourdon, who has stepped away from the group.

Linkin Park’s upcoming album, 'From Zero', features 11 tracks, including "The Emptiness Machine" and songs like "Heavy Is The Crown" and "Stained." The album is available for pre-order and is expected to showcase a new direction for the band while maintaining elements of their iconic style.
