Drew McIntyre Broken Dreams. You hear those words and you immediately think of one of WWE's most iconic themes of all time. Now you get to hear the full story behind the theme with the band behind the music.

Shaman's Harvest vocalist Nathan Hunt hangs out with me, John Kiernan (your resident wrestling entrance theme song composer) to talk all about the behind the scenes of writing Broken Dreams with Shaman's Harvest while they were in the process of recording an album. Nathan also talks about the real story of working with longtime WWE composer Jim Johnston and how Shaman's Harvest almost left working on Broken Dreams. Nathan talks about working with Jim Johnston on various projects like Bray Wyatt and Undertaker's Wrestlemania promo package music, some unreleased entrance themes, his collaborations with WWE's movie studio, and how the band started to finally bring Broken Dreams back into their live set.

Nathan also talks about his reaction to Drew McIntyre using Broken Dreams as his theme and its triumphant return at Clash at the Castle, as well as the time where they almost played Broken Dreams live for Wrestlemania.

Enjoy!

Hi everyone!

My guests on today's episode are the unbelievably creative and spiffing chaps in The Ex-Bombers! You may know some of their work from their work on The Jim Cornette Experience's theme, as well as Jeremiah Plunkett's theme in NWA wrestling. We talk all about their process in working on these themes, as well as talk about their own original music and their wild instruments like an 8 string bass. We also talk about how they approach their overall creative vision, as they are unbelievably involved in all facets of their videos, music, and art!

We also play our favorite game on the show, Music City Rumble, where The Ex-Bombers name the musicians they'd book in a wrestling match: one men's match, one women's match, and one tag team match!

Enjoy!
