Linkin Park has just released a new episode of their LPTV series called "From Zero: Part Of Something." The episode focuses on their global livestream concert in Los Angeles on September 5th, where they introduced new members: Emily Armstrong on vocals and Colin Brittain on drums. Returning to the stage were Mike Shinoda, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, and Joe Hahn, while Alex Feder temporarily replaced guitarist Brad Delson, who is currently taking a break from touring. Within the 3 minute behind the scenes video there is footage of Shinoda giving a pep talk to the staff and stage hands as they prepare the details for the live performance, montages and small interviews of different LP Underground attendees of what they expected (or didn't expect) from the event, which was not confirmed to be a live show until the day of, different moments of the band prior to their reveal in the livestream, and the overall build up and excitement for both fans and performers leading up to the hour long livestream.
The band also unveiled a new single, "The Emptiness Machine," and confirmed their next album, From Zero, will be released on November 15th through Warner. This will be their first full-length album since 2017's One More Light.
