The Grammy award-winning band Imagine Dragons wrote the original song 'Battle Cry' for Michael Bay's Transformers: Age Of Extinction, one of the most anticipated movies of the year!
The group contributed creatively in the scoring process with the film's composer Steve Jablonsky and Hans Zimmer, who assisted in the process. The collaboration resulted in added depth to the sound of the film.
“We’re incredibly lucky that Dan, Wayne, Ben and Daniel were available to work with us,” says director Bay. “I remember being drawn to the emotion of ’Demons’ and ’Radioactive’ the first time I heard those songs, and I knew I wanted that same energy and heart for this movie. They’ve created a really epic, otherworldly sound for ’Battle Cry.’”
Imagine Dragons members Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee and Daniel Platzman will perform their new single live at the film’s worldwide premiere in Hong Kong, one of the locations in the film, on June 19th.
