Hear MILITARIE GUN's new 'WWE 2K24' entrance theme for POST MALONE

Pop star steps to the ring, hardcore-style

Though we already knew they were friends, Militarie Gun have now officially gotten in the ring with pop-rap dominator Post Malone… or, rather, at least they're leading him there. The melodic post-hardcore faves have just dropped a new entrance theme to Postie's WWE 2K24 video game update, which they call "Gun Under the Gun."

The mini-track is about a minute's worth of thick-fingered hardcore riffing, suplexed into your ear canals along with a heavy-handed drum beat and vocalist Ian Patrick Shelton's now-signature "ooh" grunt. You can check it out in the vid up above, as well as through some game footage that finds an animated, super jacked-and-tattooed Post Malone mean-mugging his way to a digital WWE ring.

WWE 2K24's "Post Malone & Friends Pack," which was released today (June 27th), lets you wrestle as the famous rapper. Beyond the Militarie Gun exclusive, the expansion pack's Post Malone-curated soundtrack also features some of his music, as well as tracks from Turnstile ("Mystery") and Speed ("Not That Nice"), as well as songs from 100 gecs, Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Yeat, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Busta Rhymes, and Grimes.

In regards to crafting the entrance theme, Shelton said he took influence from Motörhead's old entrance theme for WWE star Triple H, while nevertheless trying to make it his own. And while titled under the MG-referential "Gun Under the Gun," the mean-sounding song sounds more like an extension of Shelton's work with Regional Justice Center.

"A wrestling intro needs to start big and iconic, get more aggressive, and then go heavier," he told New Noise. "That's how the song ended up — starting big and spacey, then more aggressive, and finally half-time for a total beatdown."

Prior to the entrance them, Militarie Gun and Post Malone went viral when a video leaked of the rapper enthusiastically singing the band's "Do It Faster" backstage at a show with Shelton.

Speaking of Regional Justice Center, Shelton revealed earlier this year that the band had finished tracking their third full-length, which will follow 2021's Crime and Punishment. RJC also have a show lined up August 4th at Los Angeles' The Midnight Hour venue.
