CYANIDE RETURNS WITH ORIGINAL DRUMMER, NEW VIDEO FOR “SLIP N SLIDE” AND RE-EDITED “21 GUN SALUTE” — STREAMING NOW ON VEVO

Las Vegas, NV — Hard rock / metal force Cyanide is back in full swing, and the band has turned the volume up to eleven. Not only have they dropped a high-energy new video for “Slip N Slide” and a re-edited fan-favorite video for “21 Gun Salute,” but they’ve also welcomed back the man who started it all behind the kit — their original drummer, Ryan Gillan .

“After a brief search, we’re stoked to have Ryan back where he belongs,” says frontman Rob Hussey . “He brings the fire of the first album era and fits perfectly with the direction we’re taking now — aggressive, no-nonsense, and fully alive.”

The newly edited “21 Gun Salute” video sharpens the visual punch of the original, capturing the intensity and raw power that Cyanide is known for in their live performances. Meanwhile, “Slip N Slide” storms in with attitude, hooks, and swagger that prove the band is still at the forefront of hard rock / metal. Both videos are streaming now on Cyanide’s official VEVO YouTube channel.

Cyanide’s current lineup is:

Rob Hussey – Vocals

LaHi Cassiano – Guitar

Greg Percuoco – Guitar

Greg Montoya – Bass

Ryan Gillan – Drums

The band’s full-length album, 21 Gun Salute (Kivel Records / Eonian Records), released October 17, 2025, has already racked up over 200,000 Spotify streams worldwide. Produced by Ty Sims , co-produced by Rob Hussey , and engineered by Jason Constantine , the album delivers arena-ready riffs, stadium-sized hooks, and a full-throttle hard rock assault for fans who still believe guitars should scream and choruses should hit like a brick through the windshield.

With roots in the spirit of Mötley Crüe, KISS, Metallica, Ratt, and Van Halen , Cyanide continues to deliver loud, proud, and unforgettable music — now with their original rhythmic backbone back in place.

Upcoming Live Shows:

Sat Feb 7 – Tuscany Suites & Casino – Las Vegas, NV with Flight 666 (Iron Maiden tribute)
