Good news for Linkin Park fans: A new unreleased Linkin Park song is on its way.
The band recently shared a 30-second snippet from their upcoming song, ‘Friendly Fire,’ from the ‘One More Light’ 2017 sessions. The song includes the late frontman Chester Bennington’s vocals.
The hint was first shared on their Instagram account, found on the last slide of a 10-image Instagram carousel post, indicating that it is a ‘fresh, unreleased track from the One More Light 2017 sessions.’ Towards the conclusion of the short preview, the number ’04’ is revealed. They also shared only the teaser on X, labeling it as ’20 ‘Friendly Fire” and including the hashtag #FriendlyFireLP.
Any New Music?
Despite announcing and releasing old tracks now, back in 2022, Shinoda stated that the band was and would not work on new music or tours.
“The only Linkin Park news that I have for you is that … yeah, we talk every few weeks. There’s no tours, there’s no music, there’s no albums in the pipeline. Let me just tell you that. Just keep in your minds that that is not happening. I’m just gonna say that much for now. Any time the band says anything or does anything, everyone tries to start up the hype train. And we’re like ‘No, no, no, no. Don’t start the hype train. You’re going to disappoint yourself.'”
Linkin Park hasn’t announced the release date for the track yet.
