The band drops the song ahead of their US tour
Linkin Park reveals a new track entitled “Unshatter” out now via Warner Records. It’s the next unreleased track to be unlocked from the deluxe edition of their acclaimed album From Zero, which lands on May 16th.
Right out of the gate, a stomping groove sets the pace for “Unshatter.” Distorted guitar crunch and kinetic production lays the framework for Mike Shinoda’s signature wordplay and airtight cadence. He passes the mic to Emily Armstrong whose gritty delivery drives the refrain. “‘Unshatter’ was an early track we made while recording From Zero,” Shinoda explains. “Emily’s huge vocal in the bridge was one of the moments that gave us an indication of what was possible together.” Teeming with emotion and energy, it has all the makings of a Linkin Park staple and future live favorite.
It lands in the wake of “Up From The Bottom,” which has already generated over 24 million Spotify streams and counting as well as 16 million YouTube views on the music video. From Zero (Deluxe Edition) includes three new songs, and an expanded physical edition will feature five additional live tracks captured during their inimitable live show.
Next up, Linkin Park will headline and ignite the UEFA Champions League final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi and UC3 on May 31st at the Munich Football Arena.
Following unforgettable shows everywhere from Mexico to Tokyo, Jakarta, and beyond, the From Zero World Tour—produced by Live Nation—launches tomorrow April 26th in the U.S. Overall, it will see the band touch down on four continents. Anticipation has already reached fever pitch, resulting in 15 sellouts across the tour at legendary venues such as Wembley Stadium in London, Stade de France in Paris, and Boston’s TD Garden where a second date has been added for July 31st due to overwhelming demand. This massive global jaunt carries them through to the end of the year, concluding on November 11 in Brasilia, Brazil. Special guests Spiritbox, AFI, Architects, grandson, Jean Dawson, JPEGMAFIA, and PVRIS will join on select dates.
From Zero, winner of this year’s Rock Album of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, has churned out successive hits since its 2024 debut. “The Emptiness Machine” surged as “the biggest rock song of 2024,” spending 15 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay Chart. Their next anthem “Heavy Is The Crown” followed in its footsteps at No. 1 on the respective chart. From Zero impressively bowed at No. 1 on charts in 14 countries. Stateside, it opened at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and at No. 1 across six Billboard charts: Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums, Vinyl Albums, and Indie Store Album Sales. As reported by Billboard, Linkin Park was the one-and-only rock band to cross over two billion yearly streams in 2024.
