RPM/HASBRO DROPS BOMBSHELL REVEALS FROM G.I. JOE’S INFAMOUS METAL BAND, COLD SLITHER (Featuring EXHUMED, GRUESOME AND KMFDM Members)

 

Hasbro, a leading games, IP and toy company, in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music, 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.
 
The official music video for “Thunder Machine” also premieres today on Hasbro Pulse’s YouTube Channel HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONlUdlb3JUQ.
