Watch: Linkin Park Drops "Over Each Other" Video as Controversy Looms Large
Emily Armstrong takes the spotlight in a dramatic video as the band pushes forward through ongoing controversies.
- Linkin Park releases “Over Each Other” music video, directed by Joe Hahn, known for iconic past visuals like “Numb” and “What I’ve Done.”
- Emily Armstrong’s vocals take center stage in the single amid ongoing controversy surrounding her past actions and Chester Bennington’s family criticism.
- Mike Shinoda calls this “a new chapter”, not a reunion, as the band gears up for the November 15 release of From Zero.
The clock is ticking. Linkin Park’s upcoming album, From Zero, is just weeks away from hitting shelves. It’s their first full-length release since 2017’s One More Light and their first step forward following Chester Bennington’s death. With expectations running high and critics circling like vultures, the band’s latest single, “Over Each Other,” has arrived, complete with a music video directed by Joe Hahn. If his name rings a bell, he’s the brain behind iconic visuals for “Numb”, “Somewhere I Belong”, and “What I’ve Done”.
And dramatic barely covers it. The video leans hard into intensity, which matches the song’s moody, hard-hitting tone. What sets it apart, though, is Emily Armstrong’s vocals finally stepping into the spotlight. Unlike earlier tracks, where Mike Shinoda dominated, this one feels like Armstrong’s first real audition. Now, whether she passes the test, though, depends on how much fans are willing to set aside the noise.

And boy, is there noise. Linkin Park’s comeback has been anything but a clean sweep. Armstrong’s connection to Scientology? Not forgotten. Her questionable support for Danny Masterson? Still echoing. Add in the very vocal frustrations from Chester’s family over the band’s handling of this “new era,” and you’ve got enough drama to fill a soap opera marathon.
Mike Shinoda, ever the diplomat, has tried spinning this not as a reunion but as a “new chapter” for the band. That’s a nice way of saying, “Let’s move forward and hope the past doesn’t strangle us.” Fair enough, but fans haven’t exactly been lining up to hand out free passes.
Still, controversy sells, and Linkin Park seems intent on pushing through the storm. From Zero lands on November 15—a date circled, underlined, and probably punched through on the calendars of loyal fans and die-hard critics alike. If you want to judge for yourself, preorders are open now.
At the very least, one thing’s clear: nobody’s ignoring Linkin Park this year.
