Brief Bio: In an interview with MTV in November 2008, Bennington stated, "It sounds a little daunting to me, so, I think my confidence level will drop, but when it was presented to us by this friend of ours, we liked the idea. It was an inspiring idea, and it was something we could relate a lot of the things we like to write about to". He also added that the band planned to begin recording in December for a six-week session. The album was expected in mid 2009, but in late March, Mike Shinoda wrote on his blog saying "We're hoping to have Chester's Dead By Sunrise album out this fall, and the new LP album out early next year." In December 2008, Digidesign gave the band the opportunity to preview the new Pro Tools 8 software. The experiment resulted in an instrumental song performed by Shinoda and Bourdon. The song, entitled "Lockjaw", was made available to the band's fan club as a free download. In April 2009, Mike Shinoda revealed on his blog that Linkin Park will be working on the score for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with successful film composer Hans Zimmer. On May 7th, it was further confirmed that the song recorded for the film is titled "New Divide," and was released as a single on May 18th. A clip from the song can be heard 14 seconds into the new trailer. In May 2009, they announced that they are working on their fourth album which will be released in 2010, with the aim for it to be "genre-busting."  [ END ]
