Linkin Park will also celebrate the official announcement of ‘One More Light’ with a special performance on Facebook Live later today, which kicks off at 8pm UK time (3pm EST). Head to the band’s Facebook page for more information.

The album artwork for ‘One More Light’ has also been revealed, with the band tweeting the final cover art earlier this week.

Speaking to Billboard about the forthcoming release, guitarist Mike Shinoda hinted that ‘Heavy’ reflected much of the tone of the new record.

“One of the reasons why we chose ‘Heavy’ as the first single is because it is really the core sound of the album,” Shinoda said. “This wasn’t a scenario where the whole album sounds one way and the single sounds different. This is how the album sounds. So we wanted to go out with a song like that, where everybody can get a sense of the direction of this body of work.”
