History
Mercy Drive originates from the band Big Mother Thruster, founded by Corey Lane and Josh Lyons. Four of their tunes were aired during MTV's Tough Enough television show; wrestler Maven used "Tattoo" as an entrance theme for the entirety of his time in WWE (2001–2005).
The band was signed to Maverick Records and recorded a full length album, though the album was never released. After parting ways with Josh Lyons and Mark James, the band reorganized and changed the name to 'Mercy Drive'. Jimmy McGlothlin (vocals), Jake Beard (guitar), and Corey Lane (drums) recorded at Tree Studios in Atlanta with producer Ric Beato. Stan Martell (bass guitar) was later added to the lineup.
In 2004, their song, "Away", was used for a tribute video which WWE wrestler Randy Orton had dedicated to himself, and a new song, "Burn in My Light," was written for Orton to use as an entrance theme, which he used from 2004 to 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
