SONG PREVIEW
"New Divide" is a single written by Linkin Park for Michael Bay's film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The song serves as the film's theme, and was released as a single on May 18th.
"New Divide" was released as a download on May 22 in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Eastern Europe, Turkey, Israel, Taiwan. Zane Lowe previewed it on BBC Radio 1 and speculated that its "introspective" style could be "a sign of things to come" but added that it was too early to make predictions.
The song "NEST" from Steve Jablonsky's Revenge of the Fallen musical score features instrumental excerpts from "New Divide". Linkin Park worked with award-winning composer Hans Zimmer to re-work "New Divide" in the musical score.
On May 14, Shinoda revealed that they are currently recording an accompanying music video for the song. The video, shot on location at Paramount Studios May 13 and 14, is set in an Egyptian cave and was directed by Mr. Hahn, the band's DJ. When discussing the video, Shinoda stated "[Mr. Hahn's] planning on using a lot of really interesting cutting-edge visual techniques, blurring the line between our performance and some kind of digital/mechanical reality." Chester Bennington confirmed that the video is related to the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie, saying on his blog, "Honestly, I don't know what's going on in the video. We're in a tomb rocking out and there's a huge dead Transformer." Linkin Park has released two behind the scenes videos of the music video. The video premiered on the band's Myspace on June 12th, and both photos and footage of the video shoot were posted on Shinoda's blog site.
The music video was released on June 12th and contains the band in the Tomb of the Primes (The 12 original Transformers) where they perform the song. It also contains scenes from the movie itself. Bassist Phoenix is hardly viewed in the video as he had hurt his wrist during the recent recording sessions.
