Several
years ago I was very much into pro wrestling (everybody has their crazy periods
right?!). Every week I'd watch the muscular guys and busty girls put on their
best performances to gain title belts or end rivalries. Besides these weekly
shows once in a while there would be a larger show where story lines were ended
or started, so called Pay-Per-Views. As the name implies these shows need to be
paid for to watch, therefore the WWE always started promoting these events well
in advance to maximize the amount of viewers willing to pay. Thus the same promos
would be aired week after week, of course accompanied by a captivating song.
For their Hell in a Cell 2012 PPV the WWE used the song In the End by Black Veil Brides. I hadn't heard of the band before
but this song made me an instant fan of theirs. The beginning of the song consisting
of strings and a choir, later joined by the guitar and drums, hooked me right
in. As you can probably guess from watching their early music videos like Perfect Weapon, the band was highly
inspired by glam metal acts of the 1980s like Kiss and Mötley Crüe. Lately
however they've stopped using the face paint in favour of a more serious look,
as can be seen in Goodbye Agony. The
band is currently in the process of writing a new album although no release
date has been announced yet.
