Linkin Park has announced a new album with a new singer.
The record is called "From Zero" and is due out Nov. 15. It will feature Emily Armstrong of the band Dead Sara on vocals alongside founding member Mike Shinoda.
Close friend of late Chester Bennington remembers singer one year after his deathArmstrong steps into the role in place of late frontman Chester Bennington, who passed away in July 2017. The current Linkin Park lineup also includes original members Brad Delson, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell and Joe Hahn, as well as new drummer Colin Brittain in place of Rob Bourdon.
"Before Linkin Park, our first band name was Xero," Shinoda said in a statement shared in a press release. "This album title refers to both this humble beginning and the journey we're currently undertaking. Sonically and emotionally, it is about past, present, and future—embracing our signature sound, but new and full of life."
"It was made with a deep appreciation for our new and longtime bandmates, our friends, our family, and our fans," Shinoda added. "We are proud of what Linkin Park has become over the years, and excited about the journey ahead."
The lead single off "From Zero" is called "The Emptiness Machine," which is available now via digital outlets. Linkin Park debuted the song Thursday during a livestream concert, which marked their first live performance since their tribute show to Bennington in October 2017.
