Linkin Park
Linkin Park is a Grammy Award-winning band from California. The lead single from their album Minutes to Midnight, "What I've Done," was sampled in a theatrical trailer for the 2007 Transformers film. It was also played in the film—first on the car radio during the scene in which Sam drops off Mikaela at her house, then over the final scene and credits—and was included on the film's album. Linkin Park's single for Revenge of the Fallen, "New Divide" was released exclusively on iTunes on May 18, 2009, and then later in Revenge of the Fallen's album.
In addition to "New Divide" being showcased in the soundtrack for Revenge of the Fallen, Linkin Park also worked with Steve Jablonsky in scoring the film. The guitar riff of "New Divide" is sampled in "NEST", one of the tracks from the score.
Linkin Park's single "Iridescent" is featured in Dark of the Moon and on Dark of the Moon: The Album. Each uses a shorter "remix" version of the song.
