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:
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
