Linkin Park have shared an emotional new track, ‘Over Each Other’, alongside a video directed by the band’s DJ and creative director Joe Hahn – check it out below.
The track comes from the band’s forthcoming comeback album ‘From Zero‘, which is set for release on November 15 (pre-order/pre-save here). It follows the previously released singles ‘Heavy Is The Crown’ and ‘The Emptiness Machine’.
The eerie new song slowly builds from a minimalistic beginning to a mid-paced second verse before swelling in its climax. Meanwhile, the lyrics describe being in a state of interpersonal conflict – “But you won’t let me breathe/And I’m not ever right/All we are is talking/Over each other,” sings Emily Armstrong.
Meanwhile, the video finds Armstrong emerging from the wreckage of a car accident, where her partner is lying unconscious. The video then reveals the pair had been arguing while Armstrong was driving the car.

In other news, co-vocalist Mike Shinoda has spoken about the “culture” of the new Linkin Park line-up, and said it feels like the “best we’ve had”.
“The dynamic of everybody in the band, but especially those of us that have the most history together, the dynamic is so good. It’s really good. To me, it’s easily the best culture we’ve had,” he began on the From Zero podcast, going on to clarify how that wasn’t a jab at any former members.
“I’m not saying that as a knock on the old line-up. I’m saying that specifically about the growth of Brad and Joe [Hahn]and Dave [Farrell] and me. Everybody is in a really good place and part of that is maybe the gratitude of being able to do it again,” he added.
“What’s your favourite thing to do in the world, and now imagine you get that taken away. You can’t do it. It’s gone. And then living in that for a while and then coming back later and being like, ‘Ok, guess what? You can have it back.’ That’s a fucking crazy feeling.”
As they first embarked on their recent run of live shows, Shinoda explained that this version of Linkin Park was “not about erasing the past”. “We are thrilled to be back out here… it is about starting this new chapter into the future, and coming out here for each and every one of you,” he said.
