Linkin Park‘s latest contribution to the Transformers franchise, a song entitled “New Divide,” is now available for streaming at the locations below:
Mike Shinoda stated in an official press release “the opportunity to be creatively involved with one of the most anticipated films of the summer is pretty exciting.” “It’s one thing to shoot a video that matches sound and vision, but making music that’s built for the big screen is a completely different challenge and we ran with it.”
“New Divide” debuted at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 marking this Linkin Park’s highest debut on the charts and their third Top 10 entry.
Opening in theaters on June 24, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, starring Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro, will be Linkin Park’s second project with Bay. The first Transformers film, an Oscar®-nominated hit from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures, featured “What I’ve Done,” which rocketed to No. 1 on both Billboard’s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and Hot Modern Rock Tracks charts.
“New Divide” will also appear on the Warner Bros. Records soundtrack album, which arrives in stores on June 23, 2009.
I’m happy to hear that they released a new song. After listening to “Numb” I became a fan of theirs.
