Three weeks on from first teasing it rather surprisingly in a tour video, Linkin Park have just shared their brand-new single and video.
The track goes by the name Up From The Bottom, and is their first new music since last year’s brilliant From Zero comeback LP, which landed in the top 10 of our round-up of the 50 best albums of 2024.
In a recent red carpet interview with Billboard, Joe Hahn teased that Up From The Bottom was “the best song we’ve ever made”, while Mike Shinoda added that, “It’s one of the best videos we’ve ever had.”
See if you agree by watching the video for Up From The Bottom – which Joe hinted was “a little bit mind-bending” – below:
Up From The Bottom is taken from From Zero (Deluxe Edition), which is due out on May 16. It includes the new single as well as other new tracks Let You Fade and Unshatter, and five live songs.
“Up From The Bottom was created in between tours this year, infused with the electricity of those first shows back after a long hiatus,” explain the band. “Let You Fade was a song that began during the From Zero sessions but found its final shape in sessions after the album’s release. Unshatter was an early track we made while recording From Zero; Emily’s huge vocal in the bridge was one of the moments that gave us an indication of what was possible together.
“We are so grateful for the incredible reception to From Zero. This new chapter, our continuing journey, and the connection between the band and fans has been more than we could’ve hoped for. Thank you for listening.”
Linkin Park will return to the UK in June to headline Wembley Stadium, with support coming from Spiritbox and JPEGMAFIA – get your tickets now.
“Getting back out on the road has been incredible,” said Mike. “The fans’ support is overwhelming, and we’re ready to take this energy even further around the world. From Zero is a new chapter for us, and we’re so excited to share it with everyone on a bigger scale.”
