In the wake of frontman Chester Bennington’s death, Linkin Park weren't sure if the band would — or should — continue to exist. A new documentary, Linkin Park: Unshatter, explores the uncertainty, grief and creative risk behind their return, offering raw footage of early studio sessions, discussions and experimentation that eventually resulted in Emily Armstrong joining the group.
Established in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996, the group emerged as a powerhouse of 2000s rock by blending alternative metal, hip-hop and electronic elements. They achieved global prominence with their diamond-certified 2000 debut, Hybrid Theory, followed by Meteora, built around the distinctive interplay of Mike Shinoda’s rapping and Bennington’s soaring vocals.
