Just in time for Christmas, GI Joe-themed metal band Cold Slither are back with their holiday jingle “Cobra Claws Are Coming To Town.”
In case you aren’t familiar with the all-star lineup, the band features Gus Rios (Exhumed), Matt Harvey (Exhumed, Gruesome), Ross Sewage (Exhumed, Ghoul) and Andy Selway (KMFDM). Equally impressive, the song is presented by Phoenix Music, in collaboration with Hasbro.
Ross Sewage, aka Torch, produced the video, which will absolutely get you in the holiday spirit, as well as in the mood to head bang and play with action figures.
As the band explain in their own words:
“Well… Along with the persistent pestering by Torch and Ripper, Cobra Commander now has a new scheme to ensnare the masses with a … ugh … Christmas song.”
“I, being the consummate professional, and of course gold being an easy persuader, was only too happy to oblige the dear Commander with the most shredding of holiday mayhem you’ll ever hear! I give you ‘Cobra Claws are Coming Town.’ You all remember the siege upon Keystone City, right?! Hahahaha!!!” – Zartan
“All’s I wanted for Xmas was to see the USS Flagg sink like a stone into the briny deep—well, that and maybe a new piledriver, but instead, the boss wanted us to sing a Christmas song, of all things! Then I thought, who am I to refuse our legions of screaming fans a little ‘oliday brainwa- er ‘eadbanging!” – Ripper
“It’s a bloomin’ treat to once again show the yobbos why we’re the best heavy metal band in the world!! Bludgers thought we was washed up, but we put out the best album of 2025! Didn’t think we could nail a Chrissie song, and we turn in a bloody ripper! And wait till you read the lyrics!! Least, I’ve heard they’re good. Reading ain’t me strong suit.” – Torch
“Ehh, he’s not really a Joe guy like us. Maybe just something like “I likes me choo choo train… And me chainsaw too!” Ross, is that what you have him playing at the beginning of the video?” – Buzzer
