The deluxe edition of LINKIN PARK‘s comeback album, “From Zero”, is due out May 16 via Warner.
“From Zero (Deluxe Edition)” 2CD is a limited pressing. It features a four-panel softpak packaging with 16-page booklet and showcases three new songs, five live tracks recorded around the world and all new, expanded packaging.
LINKIN PARK launched the 2025 leg of its “From Zero” world tour on January 31 at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, Mexico.
In late January, LINKIN PARK released an a cappella/vocals-only version of “From Zero”, dubbed “From Zero – A Cappellas”.
The original version of “From Zero”, issued last November, marked LINKIN PARK‘s first full-length effort since 2017’s “One More Light”, which was the last LINKIN PARK album before the death of lead vocalist Chester Bennington. “From Zero” features LINKIN PARK‘s new singer Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, who have joined returning members co-vocalist and main producer Shinoda, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave “Phoenix” Farrell and DJ/visual director Joe Hahnin the band’s new lineup. Guitarist Alex Feder is filling in for Delson at all LINKIN PARK concerts for the foreseeable future.
Last fall, Shinoda told KROQ‘s Kevan Kenney about the emotions surrounding LINKIN PARK‘s return: “It’s really complicated. For me, two years ago it was very overwhelming, and I think the best thing that we did was to just basically let things happen in the order and at the timeline that they were gonna happen, let things happen organically and not push too hard. And I feel like what ended up evolving was we just naturally kind of found each other, we found this new lineup, we found Emily and Colin in particular, and the music just kind of came into focus based on what we were having the most fun doing.”
When Kenney suggested that “From Zero” “sounds almost like a return to [LINKIN PARK‘s] roots”, Shinoda said: “I love that there’s such a strong LINKIN PARK DNA in the record. It does really feel like LINKIN PARK, but I think there’s a part of it that’s the old sound and part of that’s every era of the band, to me, on the record.”
Farrell chimed in: “I don’t know if I know well what the LINKIN PARK DNA is. It’s kind of like when you’re too close to something, you just do it and then other people tell you. They almost interpret it and then you kind of say, ‘Okay, cool. I’m glad that came across.’ But I think in any and all of that creation of an album or working on new music or new stuff or when there’s — I don’t know — interstitials or whatever you might wanna call it, for me those things are just like us doing us and figuring that out and moving forward. And in this process, one of the things that was so fun and rewarding and cool and energizing was just how when we started gradually integrating Emily and Colin, it felt like LINKIN PARK. It just felt like it fit for me and for us. And those were the coolest moments in the entire process, was just feeling like things were kind of jelling and coming together and we were having a blast doing it the whole time. So at this stage being ready to finally have the album out, having people be excited about it, that feels great.”
LINKIN PARK announced its new lineup during a September 2024 one-hour global livestream of a concert in Los Angeles showcasing Armstrong and Brittain.
