Fall has arrived and while we’ve had some warmer days to enjoy, the chill is on its way and will likely be here just in time for the arrival of the famed New York Comic Con. arrives in our Metal Metropolis. The Fall, and the famed convention will also herald the arrival of the band Cold Slither, a group that is shrouded in mystery, intrigue and might even be up to some nefarious doings. Read on my friends.

The Details: To my knowledge, Cold Slither has been hiding under a rock for many, many years but they have recently resurfaced with new music that comes care of the Reigning Phoenix Music label. Their return can only mean one thing and that is the rise of the insidious Cobra Command. If you recall the seemingly endless battles with the GI JOE Adventure Team, Cobra only wants one thing. Total Global Domination. Now, thanks to the marketing team at Live Nation’s Gramercy Theatre, a secret team of fans will be deployed into the venue to observe the goings on and be able to report their findings to the High Command. This musical mission will be a precarious one so review the dossier below carefully.

Talk about a throwback to my younger days… In the early 80’s I was not only a regular reader of the Marvel Comics “GI JOE: A Real American Hero” comic book series, but I was also a dedicated viewer of the cartoon that brought the illustrated pages to animated life. Though the patriotic heroics of the Joe Team were always inspiring, I’m not shy in admitting that I found the sinister machinations of their adversaries in Cobra Command to always be entertaining and interesting. During one of the episodes Zartan and his Dreadknocks formed a Heavy Metal band called Cold Slither and their music was hypnotic and designed to bring you under the control of Cobra. All of this reflection found me excited to learn that Reigning Phoenix Music was bringing the band “to life” and working alongside Hasbro on a number of promotional items. The song in and of itself is a catchy one and you will probably be humming it after a few short listens.
