To kick things off, Linkin Park returned with their eighth studio album, From Zero, via Warner Records, marking the first project from the band since the tragic death of frontman Chester Bennington in 2017. The new lineup features co-vocalist Emily Armstrong on singles like “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy Is the Crown.”
