How Linkin Park rebirth happened

Without any prior expectations, according to a 5 September press release, original band members Shinoda, Delson, Farrell, and Hahn began reconvening quietly in recent years.

According to Warner Records, instead of actively trying to reboot the band, band members followed their instinct to simply spend more time together, rekindling the creativity and camaraderie that had been central to their friendship since their college days.

During this period, says Warner Records, the Linkin Park band members welcomed various friends and collaborators into the studio; among these guests, they developed a special connection with Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain. A natural chemistry pulled these musicians into the Linkin Park orbit as they accumulated hours in the studio, rediscovering the irrepressible energy of a fresh start.

In this season, From Zero emerged. What’s in the name?

Regarding the new chapter, Shinoda commented, “Before Linkin Park, we were originally named Xero. The title of this album reflects both our modest beginnings and the path we are embarking on now. It represents the past, present, and future—honoring our distinctive sound while infusing it with new life. This album was crafted with profound gratitude for our new and long-standing bandmates, friends, family, and fans. We take pride in Linkin Park’s evolution over the years and look forward to the road ahead.”

“The Emptiness Machine” debuts with the essence of Linkin Park, capturing the band’s dynamic energy while maintaining the unique qualities of their recognizable sound. This versatile and memorable anthem features Shinoda’s entrancing melodies transitioning to Armstrong’s powerful chorus, set against the backdrop of heavy riffs and rhythmic drums.

Shinoda further explained, “As we collaborated more with Emily and Colin, we grew to appreciate their exceptional talents, their companionship, and our collective creations. This new lineup has given us a sense of empowerment, and together, we’ve produced vibrant and energetic new music. We’re blending the familiar sonic elements we’re known for with exciting new explorations.”
