An unapologetic throwback to mid-’80s heavy metal, “Knock Em Dread” surges with galloping rhythm, punishing drums, and anthemic energy. The line—“Thrashin’ and Fightin’, Dreadnoks for life!”—cements this track as a rebellious roar of loyalty, chaos, and untamed spirit. It’s a sonic gut-punch, roaring from the same engine of destruction that made their original hit a weapon of mass manipulation. “Knock Em Dread” is the second release from the upcoming album Cold Slither, which sees Zartan, Torch, Ripper, and Buzzer reunited in an unexpected comeback chronicled in the upcoming rockumentary Band of Vipers. Once fractured by ego, disillusionment, and Cobra’s rise to power, the Dreadnoks find their way back to the music that started it all—with raw, unfiltered fury.
The new single is part of a larger Cold Slither resurgence that spans across comics, collectibles, and a full-blown live event at San Diego Comic-Con. With toys from Hasbro and Super7, a Skybound comic one-shot, and digital mayhem brewing across streaming platforms, the Cold Slither movement is just getting started. Get ready for distortion, destruction, and denim as “Knock Em Dread” blasts across speakers and battlefields alike. The revolution has a new rallying cry—and it shreds..
