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.
