Linkin Park Association

Posted on June 5, 2026 by minuteforce

Linkin Park is currently in the midst of their European run to wrap up the monumental From Zero world tour - in fact, the band is set to take the stage in Nürburg as Rock am Ring headliners just a few hours from now, a performance which will be streamed live online. But, apparently, that isn't enough.

Knowing that this fanbase is all about those countdowns and real-world scavenger hunts, teasers have now appeared across multiple platforms, including a countdown appearing in the Spotify Canvas graphic for "Unshatter", street art in Hamburg (where the band just played two massive headline shows) and, finally, a website address hidden on new merch!

unshattermovie.com currently shows a blank slate, so fan speculation is naturally running rampant. The most popular theory currently points to some sort of tour documentary or concert movie, but there are others suggesting some kind of "Unshatter"-based music video or short film. Either way, between the imminent Rock am Ring livestream and whatever this new announcement turns out to be, Linkin Park fans worldwide have much to be excited about right now. Stay tuned as we learn more about what's to come ...

June 05, 2026 - Nürburg, Germany | Rock am Ring 2026

Linkin Park are heading back to one of the most recognizable festival settings in their touring history, returning to Rock am Ring for the first time since 2014 to perform this Friday. Despite several appearances in Germany on the From Zero World Tour over the past year and a half—including Hamburg as their third arena show and first international stop after their September 5 comeback—this is the first time the band has headlined a German festival since the twin Hurricane and Southside festivals in 2017 for the One More Light World Tour.

Their return has been highly anticipated since the bombastic reveal during the festival’s 2025 edition. During Rock am Ring’s 40th-anniversary weekend in June 2025, Linkin Park were revealed as the first headliner for the 2026 festival, accompanied by a fireworks and laser show in front of the crowd. Rock am Ring took to social media and described the announcement as a “Gänsehautmoment für die Geschichtsbücher”—literally, a goosebumps moment for the history books. The announcement was also made exactly 21 years after the band’s 2004 performance at the festival, adding to the sense of occasion.

That early announcement quickly turned into one of the strongest sales in the festival’s history. Rock am Ring 2026 sold out all 90,000 weekend tickets by October 2025, earlier than any previous edition of the festival.

Rock am Ring itself has been a major fixture in European rock and metal since 1985, originally launching at the Nürburgring racing complex site before becoming one of Germany’s defining festival brands. The event now runs alongside its twin festival, Rock im Park, in Nürnberg (Nuremburg), where Linkin Park will also be headlining for that festival’s final night. Linkin Park are anchored as a heavyweight top-billed act for these twin festivals alongside Iron Maiden and Volbeat, accompanied by additional headliners Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, Bad Omens, Electric Callboy, Sabaton, and the Offspring.

For Linkin Park fans, the festival carries extra weight because it has caught the band at several junctions in their career, and 2026 now adds the current lineup to that festival history. Their Rock am Ring appearances span the early Hybrid Theory explosion, the Meteora era, the Minutes to Midnight transition, the LIVING THINGS cycle, and the heavier push of The Hunting Party. This 2026 return will be another new chapter in a long-running festival relationship with Rock am Ring. With Linkin Park’s resurgence, fans have also been spreading footage of the band’s early Rock am Ring performances across social media, adding to the excitement around their return after 12 years.

Linkin Park first appeared at Rock am Ring in 2001, when Hybrid Theory was still transforming them from a fast-rising debut act into one of the biggest rock bands of the decade. That early Rock am Ring performance was built around the band’s debut album, with extras such as “And One” from the Hybrid Theory EP and B-side “High Voltage.” The band’s biggest staples such as “Papercut,” “Crawling,” “In the End,” “A Place for My Head,” and “One Step Closer” locked down the backbone of that show.

Two special moments from the 2001 set are also worth highlighting. The first, and more legendary among the Linkin Park fandom, was a short interlude performed between “Pushing Me Away” and “And One.” This performance was a point of speculation for 19 years, and a prevailing theory was finally confirmed in 2020 with the release of the Hybrid Theory 20th anniversary edition—the short interlude was actually a performance of the Xero-era demo “Pictureboard,” which made it to the Hybrid Theory recording sessions before finally being cut. “Pictureboard,” long hinted at but eluding fans for over a decade since its first mention by Mike Shinoda, was under fans’ noses the entire time, performed three times in sequential order in 2001 (Rock im Park, Rock am Ring, and the first Ozzfest date) before disappearing.

Linkin Park’s “Pictureboard” interlude using elements of the verses, leading into “And One.” One of only three known performances of “Pictureboard” as Linkin Park.

The other special inclusion was a short tease of the Guns n’ Roses hit “Sweet Child o’ Mine,” one of its only known performances. The band would use several different songs in this general slot throughout 2001 as their live show coalesced, including “Jane Says” by Jane's Addiction and Chester’s own song “Morning After.” The band used this Guns n’ Roses cover as a bridge into their closing number, “One Step Closer.”

The band performs a short interlude of “Sweet Child o’ Mine” and then launches into “One Step Closer.”

Linkin Park’s 2004 Rock am Ring set also remains among the band’s most widely remembered performances, capturing the band near the height of the Meteora era. At that point, Linkin Park were no longer the new band climbing up festival posters. They were near the top of the mountain, with Hybrid Theory and Meteora both firmly established and songs like “Somewhere I Belong,” “Lying from You,” “Faint,” “Numb,” “Breaking the Habit,” and “From the Inside” now sitting comfortably in their live repertoire.

Footage of “Breaking the Habit” at Rock am Ring 2004, posted by prolific Linkin Park live footage trader and archivist Felipe.

Also included in the setlist was a hip-hop medley with the band’s songs “Step Up” and “Nobody’s Listening” alongside the X-Ecutioners collaboration “It’s Goin’ Down.” Then to close out the setlist, the band brought out “Crawling”—featuring the strings intro from its Reanimation version; a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song “Wish”; and “One Step Closer,” with the Reanimation ambient intro and breakdown bridge.

Linkin Park’s cover of “Wish” by Nine Inch Nails was a staple of their 2004 touring year, as seen here at Rock am Ring 2004.

The band returned to Rock am Ring after a slower 2005 and 2006, for their next full touring year in 2007, headlining the festival for the first time. As the then-recently released Minutes to Midnight had moved Linkin Park into new sonic territory, Rock am Ring received an early look at how that material would function on festival stages. Songs like “Given Up,” “Leave Out All the Rest,” “Bleed It Out,” “No More Sorrow,” and “The Little Things Give You Away” brought a new pacing to the set, mixing heavier moments with more spacious arrangements. The band opened with the extended bridge-riff rendition of “One Step Closer” known as the “Gunshot Intro” for its gunshot samples, then proceeded through a set nearly evenly divided between their three studio albums at the time, with Meteora just edging out Hybrid Theory and Minutes to Midnight.

The addition of Minutes to Midnight’s “No More Sorrow” brought a different kind of heaviness to their Rock am Ring 2007 set, compared with the offerings of their first two albums.

Another standout of this era included in the setlist was the piano rendition of “Pushing Me Away,” leading straight into a piano-opened performance of “Breaking the Habit.” The encore set for this show consisted of the momentous album closer “The Little Things Give You Away,” “Bleed It Out” with the very first rendition of an extended bridge—a staple to this day—and “Faint” with an extended outro, including a guitar solo by Brad.

“Faint” closes the band’s 2007 performance at Rock am Ring, complete with an extended outro, including a solo by Brad Delson.

Linkin Park did not appear at Rock am Ring during the A Thousand Suns cycle, but returned in short order for LIVING THINGS, before the album’s release date later that month. With the album on the horizon and “BURN IT DOWN” making its way across the still-active rock radio airwaves, Linkin Park opened with a blistering run of “A Place for My Head,” “Given Up,” “Faint,” “With You,” “Runaway,” and “From the Inside” before finally settling in for its first marginally lower-octane number, “Somewhere I Belong.” Alongside “BURN IT DOWN,” the band also performed “LIES GREED MISERY,” only its fourth performance ever after being officially leaked through LPAssociation following a global scavenger hunt just a week prior.

Despite being a non-single and the album being several weeks out, “LIES GREED MISERY” was played at Rock am Ring 2012 alongside lead single “BURN IT DOWN,” giving attendees a taste of the upcoming LIVING THINGS.

Linkin Park returned again in 2014, with The Hunting Party just under two weeks out from release. As with 2012, the setlist offered an early look at the upcoming album, with the band previewing some of its new material including “Guilty All the Same” and “Wastelands.” With five albums under their belt and one imminent, Linkin Park had to work to compress their already packed setlist into an even shorter format, making room for more than a decade of hits. This meant juggling shortened versions of older Hybrid Theory and Meteora numbers such as “Points of Authority” with some of their more recent singles of the 2010s, like “BURN IT DOWN,” “A LIGHT THAT NEVER COMES,” or “Waiting for the End.”

Linkin Park used the intro sequence from 2010’s A Thousand Suns to lead into the setlist opener for Rock am Ring 2014: lead single for The Hunting Party “Guilty All the Same.”

Also included in this setlist were solo sets by Mike and Joe, setlist highlights that have since returned with the From Zero era. While Mike’s current solo set bears some resemblance to 2014, Joe’s set from 2014 was much more focused on bringing together samples from across the band’s repertoire in one place.

Mike performs a shortened “Robot Boy” before leading into a DJ solo set by Joe. Joe’s DJ set included samples from across the entire Linkin Park discography, notably opening with elements from “Session” and a scratch sample used on “Don’t Stay.”

Now in 2026, Linkin Park will come to Rock am Ring for the first time in 12 years, making their first appearance at the festival with Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain. The Friday schedule, with Linkin Park as its centerpiece, gives the top portion of the lineup a particularly turn-of-the-millennium overtone among the newer rock and metal acts. Papa Roach are scheduled before Linkin Park on the Utopia Stage, while Limp Bizkit, Bush, and the Hives also help place the night within the broader late-’90s and early-2000s rock revival that has been surging in recent years.

Linkin Park’s 95-minute festival slot will still require some tightening compared with their full arena show, but their festival sets have been well-received throughout the past several tour legs. The band’s 2026 setlists have continued rotating songs and intros across the From Zero World Tour, anchored by From Zero breakouts such as “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy Is the Crown.” The band surprised fans by removing “Somewhere I Belong” from its opening position in Stockholm, a move echoing the way they opened their launch show in September 2024.

“The Emptiness Machine” opens the band’s recent show in Stockholm, Sweden, replacing “Somewhere I Belong,” used for the previous 83 shows of the tour.

They then further flipped the script by opening with Meteora’s “Lying from You” for the first time ever for night one in Hamburg, before returning to “The Emptiness Machine” on night two.

“Lying from You” gets its first shot at opening a Linkin Park concert, for Hamburg night one.

The other major developments of this Europe leg so far have been the return of “Breaking the Habit” and “LOST IN THE ECHO,” both of which had not been performed since the band’s headlining shows in São Paulo, Brazil, in November 2024. “LOST IN THE ECHO” was played in Stockholm, while “Breaking the Habit” has been paired at the Europe 2026 shows with a shortened piano rendition of “Lost,” as it was in 2024—a change from the band’s hybrid performances of “Lost” that debuted with the first show of 2025 and had been performed since.

“LOST IN THE ECHO” is performed at 3Arena in Stockholm, the the first performance since November 2024 for São Paulo night one.

The band may return “Somewhere I Belong” to its opener position and begin rotating the slot—or they may continue with “The Emptiness Machine” for Rock am Ring. With “Leave Out All the Rest” having been performed in Sydney this past March, only two songs from the initial 2024 arena run have not returned to the band’s setlist since: “Friendly Fire” and “My December.” However, for Rock am Ring, it seems unlikely that either will be brought in, if they are still in the plans at all. Other wild cards could include another “LOST IN THE ECHO” performance or potentially another rare appearance of “Keys to the Kingdom,” which resurfaces with no clear regularity. It was last performed for Melbourne night two in March.

The last performance of The Hunting Party album opener “Keys to the Kingdom,” for Linkin Park’s second night in Melbourne this past March.

Linkin Park will perform on the Utopia Stage at the Nürburgring in Nürburg, Germany, on Friday, June 5, with their set currently scheduled from 22:55 to 00:30. LPAssociation member @Michele will be in attendance at this show after being there for 2025’s special announcement before Bring Me the Horizon’s set. He also helped put together this tour post for us! Stay hydrated and have fun! We eagerly await your report on the band’s return to the Rock am Ring circuit.

June 01 & 03, 2026 - Hamburg, Germany: From Zero World Tour

Posted on June 1, 2026 by Kevin

Can you believe that Germany had to wait this long to get a show on a European tour? I mean, they had to wait a whole show?! Atrocious!

After an explosive start of the final leg of the From Zero World Tour in Stockholm, Sweden, it’s now time for the band to head to the destination of the third ever performance on the tour for two back to back shows; Hamburg, Germany!

Yes, September 22, 2024, just a few weeks after the band had made their return, they headed to Hamburg, Germany on the initial short leg for the From Zero World Tour. Set A had the honor of being played for the bands first show in Germany in 7 years, meaning that the show and encore intros had 'CASTLE OF GLASS' lyrics. On 'Bleed It Out', Joe was running around with a camera filming the stage, with the feed appearing on the large screens above the band, until Emily stole it. Multitasking her way through the last part of the song, both as camerawoman and singer, she ran around filming herself, the crowd, and then climbing up on Colin's drum kit, filming both him drumming and herself singing.

But before the band ended the show with 'Bleed It Out' they pulled out quite a surprise. They skipped playing 'Keys to the Kingdom', and instead debuted 'Heavy is the Crown'! Yes, the anthem for the 2024 League of Legends Worlds had its live premiere two days earlier than its official premiere on September 24th. On the setlist it was listed that Emily was gonna introduce it, but while Mike was talking to her and asking what she would say, Joe jumped the gun and asked the crowd if they wanted a new song. If you for some reason hasn't already seen the debut performance of this From Zero classic, do yourself a favour and check it out below.

Linkin Park kicked off the final leg of the From Zero World Tour in Stockholm, Sweden just a few days ago, and we finally saw some changes to setlist! For the first time since the September 5th comeback show and for the first time in a full show, 'The Emptiness Machine' started the show! Going straight from Inception Intro A the song started off with the chorus instrumental before going into verse 1, now with the instrumentation from verse 2. 'Somewhere I Belong' was moved to the end of the first act of the show, exchanging spots with 'The Emptiness Machine'. For Act 2 we got the standard rotation spots, with ‘Over Each Other’, ‘LIES GREED MISERY’, and ‘IGYEIH’ filling the slots. For the Mike Solo Medley we again got the ’Step Up’ chorus as well as the ‘Lift Off’ demo verse. That is however not the most interesting thing that happened during the medley, that would instead be that Emily took over Colin's drums during the ’Remember the Name’ section and joined in for the rest of the song! Later in the set we saw two welcome returns; 'Breaking the Habit' and 'LOST IN THE ECHO' both returned for the first time since 2024. 'Breaking the Habit' was preceded by the again-shortened 'Lost' at the start of Act 3, and 'LOST IN THE ECHO' made its way into Act 4.

So in 2026 we’ve had some returns of some rare songs on the tour. Leave Out All the Rest returned on March 15th in Sydney for the first time since 2024, 'Unshatter' came back in Adelaide on March 18th after having not been seen for many months, and now in Stockholm we got both 'Breaking the Habit' and 'LOST IN THE ECHO', so what else could return? From the 2024 shows we’re still missing ‘My December’ and ‘Friendly Fire’. With the Stockholm set being 28 songs instead of the more normal 27, maybe there’s more room more for one of those songs to return in a new rotation spot?

After these two shows the band heads to Nürburg where they will play on the 14th and headline this years Rock am Ring festival!

With live streaming becoming more accessible than ever, fans at home have been able to watch shows on social media via YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram livestreams from attendees. While we are not asking our readers to livestream the show, if anyone reading this finds a stream or is streaming it themselves, let us know so we can watch along with you!

May 29, 2026 - Stockholm, Sweden: From Zero World Tour

Posted on May 28, 2026 by Kevin

Linkin Park makes their glorious return to Sweden for the only Nordic show on the From Zero World Tour! (Suck it, Denmark!)

It has been six years since the last time Linkin Park played a show in Sweden. With only two shows in the country, and both of them being played in the Ericsson Globe, this makes it the first festival show that the band will play. I hope. The band has a bit of a bad history with playing festivals in Sweden, having been scheduled for the Hultsfred festival in both 2003 and 2008. Both shows had to be cancelled, the one in 2003 had long notice due to the band cancelling their entire Europe tour due to Chester injuring his back, In Flames stepped in and took the bands place. The show in 2008 was cancelled with 3 hours notice, Brad couldn't fly from Finland due to an ear infection. The show afterwards in Bern, Switzerland had to be cancelled as well.

But let's talk about when Linkin Park actually DID play in the country instead. Their first successful show came in 2007, just a few days after the release of Minutes to Midnight. This was the second show of that European tour so it brought with it the second performances of Leave Out All the Rest and The little Things Give You Away, both songs having been debuted live the show before in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is also the historic show where, before playing No More Sorrow, Mike had a bra thrown in his face. These days it's much more common to see bras thrown on stage at Linkin Park shows, maybe we can get a repeat of it? You can see that incident below.

In 2011 the band came back, not playing anything new, but delivering a hell of a performance.

In 2017 the band finally got to play a Swedish festival, where they took the stage at that years (and currently last ever) Bråvalla Festival where they headlined along with Martin Garrix and Håkan Hellström. This show brought out the opening ’Talking to Myself’, the only remining song from The Hunting Party; ‘Wastelands’, and the other normal mainstays of the 2017 set, like the, at the time, new live version of ‘Leave Out All the Rest’, the piano version of ’Crawling’, and ‘One More Light’ with Chester performing the song down in the crowd like he usually did. For the first time since 2003, the band brought out the singer Christian Lindskog from the Swedish band Blindside to perform on ‘One Step Closer’.

“Let’s show these fat Americans!”

At this show the band skipped the normal thing they had been doing during ‘In the End’ on this cycle. Normally they stopped the instrumental totally for a verse or a chorus and just allowed the crowd to sing the full thing acapella, but at this show the band played the full song the whole way through.

So this is the start of the the last leg of the ‘From Zero’ tour. As of right now nothing has been announced after June 30th, so it’s entirely possible that after this tour there will be no more full shows played until the next album comes out. So here’s to hoping that they make it even more special. On the Australia/New Zealand tour the band brought out some long forgotten songs, like the 2017 version of ‘Leave Out All the Rest’. This was likely because Emily was sick, but we can still hope it returns on this tour, even with Emily NOT being sick (please, no one get sick!)

So, are you going to this show? What do you think the band will play? Come and discuss in our forums.

Linkin Park shares "From the Inside" from January 25 show in Mumbai, India

Posted on May 12, 2026 by Kevin

It has been a while since Linkin Park posted a new proshot recording of a song that's not on any edition of From Zero, but the fanbases prayers have been heard and answered! We now have a recording of 'From the Inside' from the bands debut performance in Mumbai, India back in January when they performed at this years Lollapalooza India! Watch the video below.

What do you think of the recording? Do you think we'll get any more non-From Zero songs? Come and discuss in our forums!

Australia and New Zealand Tour 2026, Part 2 [LPTV FROM ZERO: Episode 46]

Posted on April 28, 2026 by minuteforce

Amidst much hype, Linkin Park has delivered us the long-awaited second LPTV episode covering their incredible Australia / New Zealand run last month. Coming after the previous episode which touched on their stops in Australian cities Brisbane and Melbourne, this newest episode covers Linkin Park's two Sydney shows and a record-breaking stop in Auckland, New Zealand to close out the tour leg.

Night 1 for Sydney on March 14 was an important event, with Linkin Park having cancelled the Adelaide show meant to precede it due to illness. This caused a swirl of speculation about whether or not the show would even happen, and how the band's performance might be affected. In this LPTV episode, the band appears completely undeterred backstage at Qudos Bank Arena ahead of the show, which ultimately went off without a hitch.

Another major highlight here is obviously Mr. Hahn having his March 15 birthday celebrated on-stage during night 2 with some cake and dancing, although all the cake really went to the audience. In-between, we get a nice look at Sydney's Linkin Park x Deus Ex Machina pop-up event. Hahn and Colin Brittain are seen making a surprise appearance ahead of the second show.

The episode then takes us over the pond to New Zealand, kicking off there with a brief glimpse at the Linkin Park Underground From Zero Night event there at The Tuning Fork. Fan club members in attendance got to have a lot of fun, participating in raffles, singing Linkin Park songs really loudly, drinking themed cocktails, and more, ahead of the show at Auckland's Spark Arena the following night.

That event, of course, delivered the arena its biggest crowd ever, fitting the momentous occasion of Linkin Park's return to New Zealand and the final show of the tour leg. The episode shows us venue staff congratulating the band with some more cake, which they presumably got to have this time.

This episode leaves us now up to date as far as Linkin Park's touring activities; the band is now on a two-month break following the AU / NZ run, due to return to the stage in Europe later this year for the final run of shows before the From Zero tour cycle comes to an end.

Australia and New Zealand Tour 2026, Part 1 [LPTV FROM ZERO: Episode 45]

Posted on April 15, 2026 by minuteforce

Linkin Park has uploaded the highly-anticipated first LPTV installment covering their most recent From Zero tour leg which took them to Australia and New Zealand just this past month. This was the band's first time in these countries since (respectively) 2013 and 2010, with unfortunate circumstances of all kinds preventing them from visiting again until this year.

Unsurprisingly, the run proved to be one that won't soon be forgotten, with considerable setlist twists and turns night-to-night, some of the arena venues hitting new milestones thanks to Linkin Park coming through, and Mr. Hahn's birthday during the March 15 show in Sydney. There were also, of course, unforgettable From Zero Night experiences for Linkin Park Underground members, featuring exclusive merch access, exciting raffles and even some fan karaoke.

With all this in mind, it's hardly a surprise that one LPTV episode isn't enough to cover the highlights from Linkin Park's AU / NZ tour. Among other things, this episode features the band members attempting Australian accents, footage of "Casualty" being performed for the one and only time all tour during the first Brisbane show, and the thing we all came to see: Linkin Park befriending the local wildlife during their visit to the iconic Australia Zoo in Queensland.

There is also footage of the Linkin Park x Deus Ex Machina pop-up event in Melbourne which was on during the band's time in the city, with Colin Brittain making a surprise appearance to meet the fans shopping there. The episode closes out with fantastic shots of Emily Armstrong diving into the crowd during "Two Faced" at the second Melbourne show, the only stagedive of the entire tour.

As this is titled "Part 1" (the "Part 2" seen in the video's title card is an error, it would seem), there will be at least one more episode covering this tour leg to look forward to.

Colin Brittain appears on Braba

Posted on March 31, 2026 by minuteforce

Linkin Park's Colin Brittain appears in a new video uploaded by Braba, a Brazil-based YouTube channel focused on drumming content. When it comes to featuring musician profiles of this kind, Braba seems to mainly only cover South American drummers, making Brittain a rare and certainly very prominent exception. The featured interview here was filmed while he and the band were on tour in South America towards the very end of last year, a tour leg which prominently featured dates in Brazil. Excerpts from this video have been posted by Braba steadily throughout the past few months.

The 45-minute video shows Brittain chatting with drum teacher and Braba presenter Fabiano Paz (speaking in Portuguese) about his beginnings as a drummer, Linkin Park's writing process, and the way the live drums interact with elements like turntables and electronic samples. Brittain also delivers drum playthroughs of three From Zero bangers: "The Emptiness Machine" "Two Faced" and "IGYEIH".

Inside the Studio for "Let You Fade" [LPTV FROM ZERO: Episode 44]

Posted on March 30, 2026 by Kevin

Just a week after the previous episode was released, we finally have the episode looking at the last track of the deluxe edition of "From Zero" this time we're focusing on 'Let You Fade'.

The episode takes us through the song's evolution, starting in October 2023 at Mike’s home studio with Phoenix and Emily. We get to see some early vocal tracking where the band experiments with the emotional delivery of the track. By May 2024, Mike and Brad are seen discussing the song's direction. We get to hear a snippet of a acoustic version of the song. They debate the structure of the song, and Mike also goes over the lyrical twist in the bridge that flips the listener's perspective on the entire song. Finally we jump to October 2024, the full band is back in Mikes studio, working out the details of the song, far before even announcing the special edition of the album that it would end up on.

Check out the full episode below:

And just like that, we're done! We now have LPTV episodes for all songs on the album, including the deluxe edition songs! This hasn't been done before with a Linkin Park album, and now we're just waiting on live recordings for all the songs as well, just missing 'Over Each Other', 'IGYEIH', 'Unshatter', and 'Let You Fade'!

Inside the Studio for "Unshatter" [LPTV FROM ZERO: Episode 43]

Posted on March 23, 2026 by Kevin

New LPTV day! While we're having to wait longer between the episodes, we're still getting LPTV episodes of the songs from From Zero, and now we're on the second to last song; 'Unshatter'! The episode only takes place in Mikes home studio throughout the years, starting with Emily recording vocals in May 2023 with Mike, Colin, and co-writer Jake Torrey. Next we jump to October 2024 where the band (excluding Brad) are discussing this and other songs to work on. We're also treated to more vocal recording, both from Emily and Mike, as well as a improvised acoustic version of the song courtesy of Colin and Emily.

Watch the episode below.

So this only leaves 'Let You Fade' to get its own dedicated episode. Are you looking forward to it? What do you think of this episode? Come and discuss in our forum.
