These appearances are marked by the merging of the song's theme as well as themes taken from this movie and the two previous ones' scores. The fourth, when Sam and Epps infiltrate Chicago, was also in A minor with Shinoda's vocals. The third time it appears is when Sam gets couple counseling from his parents, though as an A minor. The second time, it appears to be toned down to G minor with the piano as Sam Witwicky regroups with the Autobots. The first time it is played, Sam discovers Carly has been given a new car. It appears multiple times, primarily its synth and piano debut, modified to fit the tone of the scenes in which they are featured. Hans Zimmer has collaborated with Steve Jablonsky and Linkin Park to incorporate the song into the film's score. The album version of the song starts segued from the previous track "Wisdom, Justice and Love" as an A minor in piano with Mike Shinoda's verses as well, while the chorus are sung in C major and up until the end of the song where it segues to the next track "Fallout". "Iridescent" is a rock ballad about hope in the midst of chaos and sadness. Both Shinoda and Jablonsky agree that the song is an appropriate choice for the film, since the film is described to be more "positive" than the previous films and is consistent with where the band is at (learning from mistakes going in different directions).
The film's composer, Steve Jablonsky, who is a longtime fan of the band, agreed with the choice, saying that the song fit well with his score, as well as the film's story. Shinoda decided to put "Iridescent" in the film due to the fact it was a fan favorite and called it a "natural fit", despite the song not being an "in-your-face" kind of tune. Shinoda said that the collaboration began when Michael Bay, the director of the film series, phoned him about the possibility of the band continuing their run with songs paired with the Transformers films (having chosen " What I've Done" for the first film and having recorded " New Divide" specifically for the second). He also confirmed that a shorter version was made for the film Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which is circulating around the internet. A few days later, Mike Shinoda, one of the band's lead vocalists, confirmed that the song will be the fourth single from A Thousand Suns.
In April 2011, a splash screen appeared on the band's website, that contained a distorted Autobot image and a snippet from "Iridescent" (this is no longer available). Listen to snippets of the song in the two trailers below and hear Imagine Dragons rhyme “battle cry” with “do or die.The single remix of "Iridescent" was performed live at Red Square (pictured) in Moscow. Imagine Dragons will perform the song live at “Transformers” worldwide premiere, June 19, in Hong Kong.Īmong the artists who have written songs for the “Transfomers” movies are Linkin Park (“New Divide”) and Goo Goo Dolls (“Before It”s Too Late”). They”ve created a really epic, otherworldly sound for “Battle Cry”,” said Bay in a statement. “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. The band also working on the score with composer Steve Jablonsky, with additional assistance from Hans Zimmer. The song is interspersed through the movie.
The band, which snagged the Grammy for best rock performance in January, wrote the track after seeing early footage from the film, according to a press release. The latest in the Michael Bay-directed franchise- and the first in a new trilogy-comes out this summer and stars Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Nicola Peltz and the vocal talent of John Goodman and Ken Watanabe. From “Radioactive” to “Demons” to “Battle Cry”: Imagine Dragons, known for its dramatic titles and music, has written a new song, “Battle Cry,” for “Transformers: Age of Extinction.”
