He also wrote the score for the Linkin Park iPhone game – 8-bit Revolution – and last year wrote the movie score for The Raid.
Linkin Park’s involvement with the 2010 reboot of Medal of Honor was a hugely positive experience for all of us,” said Shinoda. The opportunity to take this creative collaboration several steps further was something that we knew we had to be a part of.”
Medal of Honor executive producer Greg Goodrich added: Linkin Park has always shown a great deal of respect and gratitude for our servicemen and women, many of whom are fans of their music.
Partnering with them for the Medal of Honor Warfighter soundtrack and the Castle of Glass music video is a natural fit for us. We have shared values and respect for these heroes from many different nations – and their families – who serve on our behalf around the world.”
