Slaughter To Prevail frontman Alex Terrible is continuing his run of unexpected cover songs, this time taking on one of rock’s most iconic anthems with a crushing new version of Survivor’s Eye Of The Tiger.
Originally released in 1982, Eye Of The Tiger has become one of the most recognisable songs in rock history, with countless artists putting their own spin on the track over the decades. Rather than attempting to recreate the original’s soaring vocal performance, Terrible completely flips the formula, replacing the familiar melodies with the devastating guttural growls that have made him one of modern metal’s most distinctive vocalists.
The result is another dramatic reimagining that keeps the song instantly recognisable while pushing it firmly into deathcore territory, check it out below.

The release follows Terrible’s equally uncompromising cover of The Cranberries’ Zombie, which arrived less than a month ago in early July 10, that performance showcased a similar approach, transforming the emotional alternative rock classic into a relentless display of vocal aggression while retaining the song’s unmistakable structure.

With Eye Of The Tiger, Terrible once again demonstrates that familiar songs can take on an entirely different identity without losing the elements that made them classics in the first place, it’s a bold creative choice that continues to showcase his versatility outside of Slaughter To Prevail’s original material.
While traditionalists may always prefer Survivor’s legendary recording, fans of extreme metal will likely appreciate hearing one of the genre’s most recognisable voices tackle such an enduring anthem in his own unmistakable style.

The latest cover also continues what appears to be a growing series of standalone releases from the vocalist, giving fans fresh material between Slaughter To Prevail projects while highlighting just how adaptable his vocal approach can be across songs from vastly different eras and genres.
Whether you’re curious to hear a deathcore take on a stadium rock classic or simply want to witness another fearless vocal performance from Alex Terrible, Eye Of The Tiger proves there’s seemingly no song beyond his reach.
