System Of A Down bassist Shavo Odadjian has teamed up with Hans Zimmer and RZA to score the forthcoming movie, Babylon A.D. The sci-fi film stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Yeoh and Gerard Depardieu.

Much of the music is being performed by Achozen, and in an interview conducted recently Shavo insisted that the music is groundbreaking.

"[System Of A Down vocalist] Serj [Tankian] who is not the biggest rap fan was just like, 'Get out of here! What are you doing?!' It's different stuff man. Achozen is going to trip people out. That's all I can say for it. It's going to trip people out in a really good way. I think rock fans are going to start liking hip-hop. It's not rap metal. There's no heavy guitars or anything like that. I'm doing all the beats. It's just like a different realm of hip-hop with heavy hitters on top of us."

Achozen's album will be released in 2008, but if delays prevent it from happening, fans can go hear Shavo's work in the soundtrack for the film, which is slated to open Labor Day, 2008.
