Electronic Arts Inc. have chosen Linkin Park to be the main recording artists for the soundtrack of the upcoming Medal of Honor game. The songs will be taken from the bands new album, "A Thousand Suns" (released on September 14).
"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."
Medal of Honor launches on October 12, 2010 in North America and October 15 in Europe for the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system and PC.
