Filed in:
WWE Survivor Series Art Of Dying Get Through This Theme Song

We've seen Art Of Dying's career develop quite organically over the past few years, which is exactly what an artist needs to do these days. If you become a huge hit right out of the box, the chances are stacked against you that you'll fade into obscurity just as quickly.

But with Art Of Dying, things have always developed on a very natural path, earning new fans one at a time. And now, the next step in the evolution of the band and their growing audience...an official WWE theme song! What more could a rock band want? Well, besides being on Guitar Hero of course.

Art of Dying at Moho

Posted By KRISTIAN PARTINGTON, SPECIAL TO THE EXAMINER

In the world of rock music, the small town of Norwood carries a big punch. It's a place that breeds a core of musicians eager to spread their art into the wider world and in a business that's cutthroat, at best, they're leaving their mark.

The latest group is Art of Dying, a five-piece band whose name inspires something dark or sinister, but whose members are anything but. These guys are fuelled by a passion for music and a love of all things beautiful in life.

Thorny Bleeder Twitter page to see some examples of what we're doing with it, or you can also check out what Art Of Dying is doing with their Twitter page for something a little different.
