The metal world has been warned, and now, it’s official. The explosive arrival of Cold Slither, the self-titled debut album from the reimagined heavy metal menace inspired by the infamous band from “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero” via Reigning Phoenix Music. Ferocious, cinematic, and dripping with menace, COLD SLITHER are a full-force sonic assault that reclaims the band’s place as both a nostalgic throwback and a modern metal powerhouse.

Leading the charge is the album’s thunderous new video for ‘Zartan’s Revenge.’ This blistering animated music video was once again brought to life by visionary artist Costin Chioreanu. Known for his dark, surreal style and collaborations with some of metal’s biggest names, Chioreanu delivers a visual feast that matches the song’s volatile energy and epic scope.
COLD SLITHER is a declaration of war. Fronted by the enigmatic Zartan and his ruthless Dreadnok band mates Torch, Ripper, and Buzzer, the band fuse old-school heavy metal with anarchic energy and unrelenting force. With tracks built on punishing riffs, venomous vocals, and apocalyptic atmosphere, COLD SLITHER resurrect the myth and turns it into a modern-day metal juggernaut.
The COLD SLITHER album arrives today across digital, CD and vinyl formats featuring 10 original tracks and a remastered version of their cult-classic single ‘Cold Slither.’ Order & listen here: https://coldslither.rpm.link/albumPR
