Die Ungarn ARCHAIC veröffentlichen mal wieder neue Musik, nachdem zuletzt 2022 ihr dritter Longplayer “ The Endgame Protocol“ erschienen ist.  Zu Weihnachten ist die neue Single in Form des IRON MAIDEN Thrash-Covers `Be Quick or Be Dead` online gegangen, mit der die Band Tribut an ihre Helden zollt. Derzeit bereitet die Band ihr viertes Album vor, über das aber noch keinerlei Infos vorliegen.

ARCHAIC schicken zum Cover folgendes Statement:

We’ve been a fan of Iron Maiden since our teenage years and this is our way to pay homage to one of the greatest bands in the history of metal. Because of the difference in genres, it was a good challenge to reshape the song in a way that fits our musical identity but still remains faithful to the original.
We picked ’Be Quick or Be Dead’ for many reasons. One is that it’s not an obvious choice like the big hits, which have been covered a lot of times by various bands. We also thought that the original track itself has such a raw and thrashy vibe that makes it fit for an aggressive, heavier cover. And there’s also a personal perspective, three out of four band members were born in 80-s and got into metal in the beginning of the 90-s, which meant that ’Fear of the Dark’ was a defining record for us, it was the basically the first one that introduced us to Maiden’s music and had a huge impact on us as kids.
