Hear “Earth War,” the pummeling new song by pro wrestler UltraMantis Black

UltraMantis Black already has a day job as a professional wrestler, but the squared circle is apparently not enough to contain his manifold talents. He’s teamed up with members of Sub Pop’s notorious noise-punk band Pissed Jeans to record a self-titled, debut EP for Relapse Records. On the track “Earth War,” UMB taps into his socially conscious, hardcore roots—not to mention some of that pile-driving anger he brings to the ring—while never forgetting to have a little good, bloody fun. The transition from wrestling to rocking may seem like a dubious one, but the EP is slab of spastic punk as solid as UMB’s own abs. And if “Rowdy” Roddy Piper can do it, anyone can.
