Medal Of Honor Features Linkin Park - The Catalyst

2010-07-27T22:21:00.000-04:00

Electronic Arts Inc. today announced that the Grammy award-winning rock band Linkin Park will headline the in-game soundtrack for Medal of Honor(TM) with the lead song to their new album A Thousand Suns (releasing on September 14). The song, entitled "The Catalyst," will be featured in an exclusive trailer directed by the band's Joe Hahn. The trailer is a unique first-of-its-kind mix of live footage and intense modern military action from the Medal of Honor game and will be released exclusively on August 1 at www.medalofhonor.com/linkinpark. Check out a preview of the song today at www.medalofhonor.com/linkinpark.

"Medal of Honor marks the beginning of an innovative new relationship between EA and Linkin Park," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive, Music and Music Marketing, EA. "I've personally known the band since 1999, and they have always been an intensely creative group who understand the power of videogames and have wanted to explore and expand the medium's possibilities. 'The Catalyst' is one of the most anticipated tracks of the year, and the combination of this new song and Joe Hahn's distinctive visual dynamic re-sets the bar in our commitment to bringing together landmark EA games with artists whose talents go far beyond music."

"This is a unique, creative association for us and a collaboration that we are excited about," said Joe Hahn, trailer director and DJ for Linkin Park. "The opportunity to help introduce 'The Catalyst' via the new Medal of Honor game creates a new bond between EA, our fans, and the band's overall vision for the new digital frontier. We are enormously proud of the music on A Thousand Suns and are excited to have created an exclusive trailer around the lead track."

Rolling Stone: Linkin Park On New Album

2010-07-13T18:26:00.002-04:00

Rolling Stone magazine talked with Linkin Park about their upcoming album, A Thousand Suns:

A Thousand Suns might be Linkin Park's most eclectic yet — with lyrics that address everything from the recession to the conflicts in the Middle East. One untitled track mixes Nine Inch Nails-style industrial punk with dreamy synth washes, while another lays a heavy hip-hop beat beneath Bennington's heartfelt vocal performance. “We’ve got rapport with radio stations and people who want to put our band on the front page of their site,” says Mike Shinoda, who co-produced the disc with Rubin. “They’re gonna give us a shot more so than a band they’ve never heard of. So we’ve got this opportunity to take bigger chances with our records and do something a little more challenging.” Adds Rubin, "The band is making music from a pure place."

Since releasing their last LP, frontmen Mike Shinoda and Chester pursued solo projects like Bennington's Dead By Sunrise and Shinoda's work with Hans Zimmer on the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen score. The time apart helped invigorate the band so much that they're already considering a follow-up. "At this point we're writing such great music that I almost want to go do 50 shows around the world and then get right back into making another record," Bennington says. "Once the ball starts rolling, it's all I want. It's like a drug."
