I also wanted to convey that intensity in my music video performance. So you get a taste of what you can expect from the film.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Abbott, whose YouTube channel with drum content has garnered over 30 million views, it was a no-brainer to jump on board; while stuck in LA traffic, he heard a radio show host raving about the movie\u2019s announcement. Abbott recalls, \u201cCoincidentally, Dustin called me up a few hours later and asked me to co-write the theme for it [themovie]. I was, like, \u2018Fuck yeah! Dustin came in with some riff ideas and structure, and then we finalized the instrumentation and matched Angela\u2019s lyrical ideas to the music. I\u2019ve been producing rock and metal for about 15 years, but this was one of the first times I really got to take a song from demo to the final product and not feel any imposter syndrome through the process.
