The Emptiness Machine

About this song

"The Emptiness Machine" is the first Linkin Park song made since the death of Chester Bennington in 2017, and it marks the band's first song with Emily Armstrong as lead vocalist and Colin Brittain as drummer. New content was teased in August 2024 through a countdown clock on the band's website, which glitched and began counting up, pointing toward a September 5th event. The song was performed live at that event, and its music video was released shortly afterward. The band also announced their eighth album, From Zero, due November 15, 2024, along with a world tour.
