Cold Slither returns after 30 years hiatus with their first official video, illustrated and animated by Costin Chioreanu!
This is massive announcement regarding Costin Chioreanu’s career as video artist and animator. This is the result of his first collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music and almighty Hasbro, the worldwide leading games and toy company. With over 100 years of expertise, Hasbro delivers groundbreaking play experiences and reaches over 500 million kids, families and fans around the world, through physical and digital games, video games, toys, licensed consumer products, location-based entertainment, film, TV and more. From their huge portfolio, I can mention some of their toy lines for Jurassic Park, Action Man, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Marvel, Star Trek, G.I. Joe, Dungeons and Dragons, Transformers and many many more.
In order to announce the self-titled anthem “Cold Slither” dedicated to G.I. JOE fans across the world, the album presents 10 electrifying tracks that blend searing distorted guitar riffs, pounding rhythms, and irresistibly catchy, anthemic choruses. The “Cold Slither” album will also feature a modernization of the original track from the 1985 episode of the same name.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 30 years since that “Cold Slither” episode off G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero animated series, that saw Zartan and the Dreadnoks disguise themselves as the eponymous heavy metal band in order to brainwash the American youth, Costin was commissioned by these entities to bring to the world the almighty Cold Slither band designed in his unique graphic and animation style.
Here is the official video. More information about the toys and how The Greatest Rock Band Reunites to Rule the World will follow!
Most probably the first virtual reality art exhibition related to extreme metal is OUT NOW and it is completely dedicated to the artwork of Costin Chioreanu!
The Twilight13media 20th Anniversary Exhibition contains a collection of artworks selected by the artist and it is presented through a revolutionary, virtual reality experience. The whole App presents a new way to experience music and art in the current digital/virtual domain and contains pieces created for iconic bands like Ghost, Emperor, ArchEnemy, Mayhem, OranssiPazuzu, just to name a few. Visiting the exhibit is easy. Basically, you just need to access through a link or QR code and download the app for free on your desktop (so far it is available only for PC users). Then, you unzip it and run it, as it does not require any extra installation. After that, you will instantly enter the fantastic world of CostinChioreanu! You will suddenly wake up at the entrance of a weird star-shaped outpost in the space which holds the exhibition.
The great news is this virtual reality experience is download free and you can get it HERE.
