Cold Slither – Cold Slither 2025

Reigning Phoenix Music in collaboration with Hasbro, a leading games, IP and toy company, today unleashed a series of epic announcements for Cold Slither, a newly reimagined heavy metal band based on the infamous fictional group from the iconic 1985 animated series “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero”.

“This isn’t just an album – it’s a sonic strike straight from Cobra Command!”, said Cold Slither. “We’re back, louder, heavier and deadlier than ever. We can’t wait for G.I. Joe fans and metalheads to experience the raw power of our music, culminating in our live debut at San Diego Comic-Con. Prepare your ears for total domination… Let’s Rock and Cobra Roll”!

Following the success of “Cold Slither” and “Knock ‘Em Dread”, the band’s explosive new single, “Thunder Machine”, is now streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. The hard-hitting track, inspired by the Dreadnoks’ brutal battle rig, delivers cinematic riffs and raw energy – an explosive anthem forged from chaos, rebellion and heavy metal fury.

Watch the official lyric video for “Thunder Machine” below.

Featuring 10 original tracks and a remastered version of their cult-classic single “Cold Slither”, the album plunges into dystopian metal with themes of swamp-born menace and Cobra-fueled power.

The “Cold Slither” album arrives on July 25th, 2025, across digital and vinyl formats, including San Diego Comic Con-exclusive “Zartan Chameleon Blue” and “Blood Moon Red” vinyl variants available only at the Hasbro and RPM booths, respectively.

Coinciding with the single drop, pre-orders are now live for “Cold Slither” – the band’s self-titled debut album – including a limited ‘Dreadnok Attack Orange’ marble vinyl variant available via Reigning Phoenix Music and select retailers like Amazon, Amoeba and indie record stores.
