Linkin Park will bring its Living Things album to color vinyl on November 20, 2026, in a limited United States edition from Warner Records. The Red Smoke pressing is the first color-vinyl pressing of the record since 2012.
Warner Records sets the Living Things format
Warner Records has detailed the November 20 release as a special vinyl version of the band’s fifth full-length studio album. The label says the pressing uses Red Smoke vinyl, carries the original album cover on its sleeve for the first time, and is limited to 5,000 copies in the United States.
The planned edition changes the physical presentation of an existing Linkin Park album without adding new recordings. Its color-vinyl distinction connects the release to the record’s original 2012 arrival while preserving the album’s established title and track sequence.
Living Things expands Linkin Park’s physical catalog
Living Things was made in Los Angeles with co-production by Mike Shinoda and Rick Rubin. The album’s documented sound combines electronic elements, cinematic textures, hard-rock dynamics, and melodic songwriting.
Tracks highlighted around the release include Lost in the Echo, Castle of Glass, and Burn It Down. The new pressing gives those songs and the rest of the album a Red Smoke presentation, with the original cover restored to the sleeve.
Linkin Park’s current lineup behind the new pressing
Linkin Park’s current lineup for the release comprises Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, Emily Armstrong, and Colin Brittain. The band’s catalog also includes the RIAA Diamond-certified Hybrid Theory and the 8x Platinum Meteora.
The lineup links the reissue to the band’s present studio identity while keeping the focus on a record shaped by Shinoda and Rubin. The format also extends a catalog that spans electronic rock, hard-rock arrangements, and melodic songwriting.
