Linkin Park discusses new singer Emily Armstrong, tour dates, new album 'From Zero' and the band's next chapter in a digital cover story interview.
bandmates one day in the studio last year. They were recording the vocals for a wall-rattling thrasher, and Shinoda, the band’s co-lead vocalist and main producer, wanted his voice to match the pummeling production — so he tried something a little different. When he opened his mouth, he let loose with rare ferocity: After years of singing, rapping and harmonizing, Shinoda emitted a full-blooded scream.it a scream, though? Is it?” the 47-year-old asks, mischievous grin widening.
“Part of working under darkness was simply the fact that we didn’t know how far we would get in our efforts,” Hahn explains. “We didn’t want to set ourselves or anyone else up for disappointment if we weren’t able to do it. This has been years of struggling to understand what it can and should be.” So that process continued moving forward over a period of years, and then the last maybe 18 months or so, accelerated quite a bit. I think me, Mike and Joe got a lot more intentional: “If this is ever going to have a chance to do anything, then let’s be intentional of spending time together. Let’s see what we come up with,” rather than spending a month doing stuff and then not doing stuff for 10 or 11 months.Everybody’s always close, even if they’re not talking all the time.
Mike was talking earlier about him doing music — I was the opposite. For a long time, I was like, “I don’t want to do any music. That hurts. I want to avoid that.” It took a while to get to a stage where I started feeling like this is actually energizing. And that was the shift for me, where it went from like, “Is it Linkin Park? Is it something else?” Emily feels like Linkin Park, Colin feels like Linkin Park.
Once that reality sunk in, was there a sense of pressure? At that point, you knew that you were going to be singing Chester’s parts on these huge songs, taking over for this iconic voice.There is so much to this band — this is a very, very important band to this world. And the integrity of the band was really helpful in keeping me grounded. There were so many of those moments where it was like, “Holy s–t,” when you talk about the size of the shows, stuff like that.
