During an interview with BBC News, Linkin Park vocalist, guitarist, etc. Mike Shinoda discussed the band’s upcoming documentary “Unshatter.” That film focuses on the band’s reunion following the death of frontman Chester Bennington. The group made their return in 2024 with new singer Emily Armstrong and new drummer Colin Brittain.
Shinoda said the following:
“We have a documentary coming out called ‘Unshatter’. I feel like it’s just been in the ether. Even before Chester passed away, it was kind of Joe [Hahn] being a filmmaker. He always wanted to do something that kind of explained our universe to people. And then after Chester passed, everything was just, like… We didn’t even think we had a band anymore, so everything just kind of went away. And as things started to come back together, and we met Colin, and we met Emily, and we started to make music and the album became a reality, we were filming things. And eventually, we realized that not only do a lot of people not understand the band’s culture — not us, just us, but the community around Linkin Park. But they and the people inside that bubble and the people outside, they wanna know, like, how did you pick up the pieces after this tragedy and losing your friend and co-founder of this thing that we spent 20 years with? How do you go from that to Wembley? How do you go from that to… Our [‘From Zero’] album-launch show was in São Paulo. It was one of the most celebratory, emotional moments of our lives. So, thankfully, we had the good sense to have some cameras rolling during the whole time.”
He also added:
“Don’t think reality TV. It’s literally our friend Mark [who did most of the filming]. It’s one guy. We hang out with him all the time. So we had Mark there, and we were just recording things and filming things just so we had it, and that became ‘Unshatter’. And so more info will come out soon, but we’re very excited about it. I’m really proud of Joe, and I think it kind of tells the story of the past — I don’t know — three, four years or so pretty well.”
