Linkin Park is back at it again. Today the iconic hard rock/nu metal band announced a plethora of news, after a long-awaited countdown that lasted 8 days, leaving fans anxiously awaiting a new announcement.

Following the unfortunate death of Chester Bennington 7 years ago, Linking Park stopped writing new music and playing live until now.

Who Is Linkin Park’s New Singer?

Linkin Park announced their new lineup, September 5th - now featuring co-vocalist Emily Armstrong (of Dead Sara) and drummer/co-producer Colin Brittain (of All Time Low & Sueco).

Linkin Park also released their single “The Emptiness Machine” featuring the aforementioned new members. The upcoming 8th full-length album “FROM ZERO” will be released on November 15th via Warner Records.

The band also announced 6 arena shows with plans to tour “heavily” afterward according to Mike Shinoda.

Linkin Park has over doubled their Spotify monthly listeners in the last 2 years after dropping a series of unreleased songs featuring Chester Bennington’s vocals. While the future for Linkin Park is uncertain, the band is currently one of the most recognized and popular names in the hard rock/metal community and they have built up a massive amount of hype and mystery for months leading up to this (particularly with the countdown announcement).

Grossing over $120 million over their career, Linkin Park’s success is undeniable. After a 7 year pause, we are now witnessing a new era of Linkin Park and possibly a new sound for the band.
