The film was recorded during their album launch show in Brazil earlier this month. Release date TBC. Linkin Park have announced a ‘From Zero’ concert film will hit cinemas next year.
The recently reformed nu-metal band – now led by vocalist Emily Armstrong – performed in São Paulo, Brazil, to launch their new record ‘ ’. The band announced that this gig performance, which was also livestreamed in full on Brazilian broadcast channel Multishow, will be central focus of a live documentary. A release date has yet to be announced.
The film announcement coincides with the release of their eighth album, the first without original vocalist Chester Bennington, who died in 2017. In our review of ‘From Zero’, we stated: “The results are mixed. While there’s a welcome nostalgia hit when hearing some of these new songs which hat-tip the band’s glory days, it’s not a complete rehash.
And for that, co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda & Co. must be commended. As for Armstrong, she gives it socks and shares Bennington’s gift for oscillating between throat-punishing screams and melodic wailing.
It works. Some of her inflections and belts even sound like his on certain tracks, without at any point falling into cheap imitation, proving that her induction into the rebooted band was a canny draft on an artistic level. However, there’s an odd dynamic to the tracklisting on ‘From Zero’ that forms a semi-consistent pattern: for every anthemic belter, there’s a dud.
