Black Lab Releases Transformers Song

Posted by Stormrider Jun 13, 2007 at 3:03am CDT 20,590 views
Black Lab, a rock band known for their MTV hits- ‘Wash it Away’ and ‘Time Ago’ as well as their featured songs on the Spiderman and Blade: Trinity soundtracks recently submitted a song to Paramount for consideration on the new Transformers Movie soundtrack. Unfortunately, the song did not make the finalized cut as reported here.

As July 4th approaches the group had no other choice than to release their Transformers Theme song independently. Black Lab member and long time Transformers fan, Andy Ellis, stated that the group is obsessed with Transformers and they are excited about their new release because it has the G1esque sound that people are dying to hear.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I liked it, a remake of the classic theme from the orginal flick... It's a shame it was passed over, I thought it was pretty faithful!

Hell yeah now thats a theme! Not as good as the originle but better than what we got. It needs to be faster and have a better singer. Hell just get a better singer. But its still 100% better than what we've been given. I wish my band was still together. We played the lion theme during parctice. It was basicly the same just with Iron Maiden like gutiar solos in the middle. I must now form a new band and show paramount what a real TF theme sounds like.

Pretty cool. Definitely better than Mute Math's.
The vocals seemed a little choked/restrained trying to get that fairly monotonous robotic like tone.
I think Dragonforce or Mastondon should have given it a go :D THAT would be rocking. I love the ATHF sountrack :).

I have to agree, Mutemath's take sucked, and this...actually the best one since Lion set the bar very high in 1986.

Come on Lion, reunion!!!

Blech. Lousy vocals, instrumentation not much different than Lion's version. What's the point of even doing a new version if you're just carbon-copying the old one? (Note, this is not a defense of the new soundtrack material, as I've not heard the majority of it)

Everyone clamoring for this stuff should be reminded that both the 1986 cartoon movie and its soundtrack have been re-released and shouldn't be too hard to find.

Now this...this is the correct type of cheesy theme the film requires.

F*ck MuteMath's.

Song isnt anything special, but the the montage of preview clips is excellent.

That is what should have been the theme for the movie.

Nuff said.

I liked that first one by Deceptibot but couldn't stand Mutemath's... But I've gotta say: THAT is a nice theme. Video wasn't half bad either...

Yeah DragonForce, Mastodon or Scar Symmetry would rock the hell out this movie.

I'll never understand why Paramount pass on Black Lab's verison for Mutemath's lackluster version. :sad:

Comment by Ericus Prime Jun 13, 2007
Oh yeah, much better, but maybe it's a little too similar to Lion's theme. Terrible vocals. I'am guessing that's why it wasn't chosen.
