Before Linkin Park, our first band was called Xero. The album title refers to both that humble beginning and the journey we are currently on. Sonically and emotionally, it’s about the past, present and future – we have our signature sound, but new and full of life. The album was created with a deep appreciation for our new and long-standing bandmates, our friends, our family and our fans. We are proud of what Linkin Park has become over the years and look forward to the journey ahead.

The more we worked with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoyed their world-class talents, their company and the things we were creating. We feel really empowered by this new line-up and the vibrant and energetic new music we’ve made together, weaving together the sonic touchpoints we’re known for and still exploring new ones.
