Linkin Park talks with their old friend, Apple Music host Zane Lowe, to discuss their musical legacy, a 7-year journey towards new music, and their feelings about the future. The full interview is available on Linkin Park's official YouTube.

With no expectations, Shinoda, Delson, Farrell, and Hahn quietly met over the past few years. The goal was simple: to spend more time together and to feel reconnected with their creativity and the sense of camaraderie that has been at the core of their friendship since college. They also invited several friends and colleagues to spend time in the studio. Among everyone they invited, they found a special closeness with Armstrong and Brittain. The organic chemistry brought these musicians back to a common gravitational point as they spent a lot of time in the studio. What happened next was a new beginning, driven by the unstoppable energy of musicians who have been creating their entire lives. Finally, the album ‘From Zero’ is born.

About their new era, Shinoda said, “Before Linkin Park, the band's first name was Xero. The title of our new album refers to the beginning of our journey and the journey we are currently on. Musically and emotionally, this album is about the past, present, and future as we celebrate our distinctive sound, with a new spirit. Our new album is made with the deepest appreciation for our new and old bandmates, our friends, our family, and our fans. We are proud of what Linkin Park has achieved over the years, and we can’t wait for the journey ahead of us,”

From the very first second, their new single, “The Emptiness Machine,” echoes Linkin Park's DNA complete with their signature explosive energy, with a touch of Linkin Park that is instantly recognizable and cannot be imitated by anyone. An anthemic-sounding song, Shinoda's hypnotic melodies are followed by Armstrong's thunderous chorus, over distorted riffs and pounding drums.

Shinoda continued, “The more time we spend with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoy their world-class talent, their presence, and everything we create together. We feel empowered with this new lineup and the energetic new music we are making together. We unite the sonic points that have brought us to this point and continue to explore new points.”

Through the album ‘From Zero’, Linkin Park wants to harness the purest energy from their past, their present, and their future. A new era of Linkin Park has officially begun.
