Linkin Park’s comeback story is getting the big-screen treatment.‘Unshatter’, directed by the band’s own Joe Hahn, lands in theaters September 30 and takes fans inside the 2024 return that brought vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain into the fold. The documentary is built around professionally shot footage from the band’s São Paulo show, capturing the moment they proved they weren’t going anywhere.
In a new interview with NME, Hahn opened up about the fear that came with stepping back into the spotlight. After years away and the loss of Chester Bennington, the band genuinely wondered if anyone would still show up. Those worries evaporated fast, with arenas packed by a mix of longtime fans and a new generation discovering the band for the first time. Linkin Park also made history as the first female-fronted band to headline Download Festival, a milestone Emily Armstrong called meaningful in more ways than one.
There’s more on the horizon too. Hahn confirmed the band has been back in the studio working on new material, meaning‘Unshatter’might be the closing chapter of one era and the opening of another. So whether you’ve been riding with Linkin Park since“In the End”or found them through the comeback, what are you hoping to hear on the next album?
