Brand New Sin came out of Syracuse, New York, in 2002, a hard rock band with a heavy streak of Southern rock running through its riffs, fronted by singer Joe Altier. Kevin James Dean, Kenny Dunham, Chuck Kahl and Kris Wiechmann filled out the ranks, and they sounded like a bar band that had been lifting weights.
The self-titled debut came out that same year, and "Broken Soul" and "My World" are pure muscle: thick, swaggering guitars and choruses meant to be bellowed back. They recorded for Century Media and kept at it until 2012.
Wrestling fans know them best, though. The band provided the entrance theme for Paul Wight during his run as the Big Show in the WWE, and when Wight moved to All Elite Wrestling, Altier came back to sing his new theme. The original lineup reunited in Syracuse on May 4, 2019, and played again on August 25 that year at the Great New York State Fair.
