Editor’s Note: V of Violent Idols recently appeared on the Madness To Creation Podcast to discuss working with Aaron of Gemini Syndrome, meeting AEW wrestler Jon Moxley, mental health awareness and the soundtrack to his life. It is always interesting talking art, music and mental health with an individual that is probably very well known by day but I couldn’t figure out who he is. That’s how much V of Violent Idols is into his persona. V created the arrangements, wrote the song lyrics and came up with the concept for Violent Idols to help him deal with his mental health and to cope with the issues that are happening in the social media world and the physical world. Recently, Violent Idols released the music video for “Revenge”, which you can check out below. Their theme song for AEW wrestler Jon Moxley has over one million hits on YouTube and he also talks about how he went into Jon’s character to write that instrumental. Fans can find Violent Idols on their official website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
