Following a couple months of eager anticipation, Linkin Park have finally done what once seemed impossible by releasing their reunion album, FROM ZERO.
As previously reported, the beloved nu-metal institution announced their comeback in early September, revealing that they’d added new co-vocalist Emily Armstrong, drummer Colin Brittain and touring guitarist Alex Feder to the lineup. Vocalist-guitarist Mike Shinoda, bassist Dave Farrell and turntablist/synth player Joe Hahn and guitarist Brad Delson all performed on FROM ZERO, though the last isn’t playing live with the band at the moment.
It’s been a whirlwind of activity since then, with the group previewing the release — their first album since 2017’s One More Light and the death of Chester Bennington — with songs that took on flavors of pop-punk (“The Emptiness Machine”), heart-tugging modern rock (“Over Each Other”), double-time metal (“Casualty”), hard-chugging rap-rock (“Two Faced”) and classic LP aesthetics (“Heavy Is the Crown”).
Following all that, the rest of the much-anticipated comeback album is now streaming online and available in stores via Warner Records. You can check out all of FROM ZERO below.
Earlier this week, Linkin Park confirmed that they will be following up this fall’s quick world tour with a fuller round of global dates, which kick off this January in Mexico. The trip, which also runs through Asia, Europe and other parts of North America, will find the band supported by the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, AFI, Architects, Spiritbox, JPEGMAFIA and more.
Pre-sales for tickets begin November 18th, while the general onsale launches for the North American dates on Thursday, November 21st at 12 p.m. local time, and for Europe/U.K. on Friday, November 22nd at 10 a.m. local time. Get more details and ticketing info here.
