Corey actually gives props to Epic, their record company for that decision.
The song has a place in pop culture, most notably by CM Punk, the wrestler has used it as his entrance music for over a decade now.
Corey’s latest project is the band Sonic Universe. The band feature guitar Mike Orlando from Adrenaline Mob. Their debut album, It is what it is, drops on Friday. It’s fantastic!
