Bray Wyatt recently made his return to the WWE, and “The Fiend” greeted audiences to the soundtrack of a new entrance song by Code Orange. Fans clamored at the time for the new tune, “Shatter,” and earlier this week the band and WWE officially dropped the tune to all streaming platforms.
The melodic track is the second song Code Orange has provided to Wyatt for his entrance following in the footsteps of “Let Me In.” The band also released a new long sleeve shirt featuring Wyatt-inspired artwork.
Code Orange formed in 2008 in Pittsburgh and have been nominated for two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance. According to Scott Tady of Kill Your Stereo, “Code Orange takes…hardcore/metalcore and bleeds them over with modern industrial and bleak electronics, with the occasional alternative-rock detour…creating an almost-experimental sound that’s both familiar yet futuristic.”
Rock and metal acts have a long history with wrestling. Motörhead famously played Triple H to the ring on two occasions with a live version of the theme music they cut for him, “The Game.” Motionless in White’s Chris Motionless also provided vocals for Rhea Ripley’s entrance theme. Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Saliva and Limp Bizkit have all made appearances in one way or another for WWE.
Numerous wrestlers are also in heavy bands including AEW’s Brody King (God’s Hate), and The Butcher was the longtime guitarist for Every Time I Die and is working on music with other previous members of the group.
