The voice behind the classic intro to ‘The Number of The Beast’ passed away. He was 80.
Barry Clayton, whose voice we shall forever remember because we listen to real music, not that dumb hip-hop crap, was hired by Iron Maiden when the horror actor who was supposed to get the job asked for too much money.
You can read a bit more about him here. In the meantime, I’ll leave you with the words you already know from the song you have loved for years.
“Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who have understanding
Reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty six.“
