FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ARCHAIC PREMIERES “BE QUICK OR BE DEAD” (IRON MAIDEN COVER) OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO
Hungarian thrash metal band Archaic proudly unveils their electrifying cover of Iron Maiden’s classic “Be Quick or Be Dead” . The official lyric video is now available, giving fans a fresh and aggressive take on the 1992 hit while paying homage to the legends of metal.
A Personal Tribute to Iron Maiden
In their own words, Archaic explains:
"We’ve been fans of Iron Maiden since our teenage years. Covering ‘Be Quick or Be Dead’ was both a challenge and a joy—it allowed us to reshape the song to fit our identity while staying faithful to the original. Its raw, thrashy vibe perfectly suited our heavier, aggressive style. For us, Fear of the Dark was a gateway into Maiden’s music, and this song remains as relevant today as it was in 1992."
The lyric video, edited by former vocalist Tamás Jósa, features live footage interwoven with nods to Maiden’s original music video, offering fans a nostalgic yet modernized experience.
