Mercy Drive was a Central Florida-based Hard rock band that created entrance themes for several World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) wrestlers, most notable for Maven Huffman ("Tattoo") and Randy Orton ("Burn In My Light").

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.

Mercy Drive's first self-titled album was never released by Maverick. Producer Ric Beato landed a solid sound for the band, despite lacking funding from Maverick to master the album. "Burn in My Light" was not featured on the album. It was written several years later by request of WWE and Randy Orton. WWE would not give Mercy Drive permission to use the song despite having been told they would be splitting the rights and publishing with Jim Johnston.
