It’s fair to say that September’s unveiling of Emily Armstrong as the new singer of Californian nu-metal band Linkin Park was met with a mixed reaction by fans. Opinions on social media ranged from “absolutely disgusting decision” to “f–king phenomenal”.

After seven years of silence, Linkin Park returned in early September with the song "The Emptiness Machine" and an intimate performance in Los Angeles, both of which revealed Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara as their new co-vocalist alongside Mike Shinoda. They also shared a handful of 2024 tour dates and details about From Zero.

It’s been seven years since Linkin Park released new music, so From Zero marks a highly anticipated new chapter for the band. Following the death of lead singer Chester Bennington in 2017, it was unclear how the popular rock group would move forward – or if they even had plans to continue at all.
