Cherie DeVille Sounds the Alarm on Porn’s Future in WIRED Magazine

(Los Angeles, CA / September 8, 2025) – Cherie DeVille, a 16-year veteran performer and one of adult entertainment’s most outspoken voices, is spotlighted in Jason Parham’s new WIRED feature, “The Internet Revolutionized Porn. Age Verification Could Upend Everything.”
 
In the article, DeVille shares her deep concern that sweeping new age-verification laws could fundamentally reshape the industry and push out the very performers who’ve thrived in the digital era. “You’re going to be at a point where if you watch free content, you have no way to know if these people are consenting or happy, and that is a terrifying way to live,” she told WIRED.
 
She warns that the impact won’t just hit large platforms but will devastate independent creators and niche communities that have flourished online. “It’s going to eradicate individual dotcoms. There’s no performer, no matter how rich, that can afford it. It’s unattainable. It will only leave the behemoths for us to play ball with. You’re going to lose a lot of your most interesting creators,” DeVille explained.
 
The result, she says, would be a homogenized industry stripped of diversity and independence: “All you’re going to be left with is the pop music of porn. And I’m not saying Taylor Swift is bad, but she’s not everybody’s cup of tea.”

Reigning Phoenix Music, in collaboration with Hasbro, a leading games, IP and toy company, is thrilled to announce that COLD SLITHER, the reimagined heavy metal menace inspired by the infamous band from G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero, is preparing to take New York by storm. The show will take place on October 11th, the same weekend as NYC’s Comic Con, where the Gramercy Theatre will be conquered by an explosive sonic force that fuses nostalgia with a modern metal powerhouse. Get your tickets HERE.

Zartan comments on the forthcoming NYC show: 

"Well, well, it seems as though there are several potential recruits whom have a desire to join our small but elite society of Dreadnoks... This time in New York City! Our services are once again called upon by Cobra Commander and Reigning Phoenix Music to melt minds with Cold Slither! So be it, my Dreadnoks and I will see you all October 11th... Come prepared...Cobraaaaa!!" 

The show announcement follows the release of the self-titled debut album in June of this year via Reigning Phoenix Music. Also on the horizon, the G.I. Joe-stanning supergroup are set to join the Decibel Flexi Series with an exclusive new banger, “Cobra Island."

Cold Slither is a declaration of war. Fronted by the enigmatic Zartan and his ruthless Dreadnok bandmates Torch, Ripper, and Buzzer, the band fuses old-school heavy metal with anarchic energy and unrelenting force. With tracks built on punishing riffs, venomous vocals, and apocalyptic atmosphere, COLD SLITHER resurrects the myth and turns it into a modern-day metal juggernaut.
