Linkin Park developed under the earlier names Xero and Hybrid Theory before releasing the album Hybrid Theory in 2000. The lineup associated with that debut included Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington, whose performances helped establish songs such as One Step Closer, Crawling and In the End. Later projects ranged from Meteora to A Thousand Suns and One More Light. After Bennington's death in 2017 and an extended pause, the band returned with From Zero, introducing Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain in a new recording phase.
