Linkin Park on Transformers Soundtrack

The group Linkin Park is currently recording a song for the new Transformers film, which is headed to theatres on June 24, reports Rolling Stone.

Mike Shinoda, the group’s guitarist, announced the news on his Web site yesterday.

The song they are working on will be used as one of the themes, and will be heard in fragments throughout the film.

Mike Shinoda explained that the song was made with several layers of heavy synthesizers, which will mesh with the track’s cold robotic keyboard sounds.

The group collaborated with Hans Zimmer, a seven-time Oscar nominee and winner in 1995 for his music in The Lion King.
