It has been a big 24 hours for Linkin Park. After posting a countdown teaser, the nu-metal institution officially announced that it was back with a new lineup, a new studio album, played a show – livestreaming it to an audience of nearly three million people – then announced a string of dates in September and shared the video for new single The Emptiness Machine.
That’s a lot of stuff to happen. Where do you start? The HR manoeuvres that reconfigure Linkin Park for 2024 and beyond is as good a place as any, with the band welcoming Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain to the fold, with Armstrong on lead vocals and Brittain taking Rob Bourdon’s position behind the drum set.
