March Or Die is an album by the British heavy metal band Motorhead. It was recorded and released in 1992.

Recorded at Music Grinder Studios, Los Angeles, three drummers participated in the making of this album: Phil Taylor, who was fired after "I Ain't No Nice Guy" was recorded (because he didn't learn his drum tracks), Tommy Aldridge who recorded most of the material on this album on a sessional basis only, and Mikkey Dee, who recorded "Hellraiser" (which was originally written by Lemmy for Ozzy Osbourne's No More Tears album).

The album was produced by Peter Solley with the exception of Hellraiser which was produced by Billy Sherwood, and used in the 1992 movie Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth.[1]

The song "You Better Run" was re-recorded in 2004 as "You Better Swim" for the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

Although it was a major label release, some fans consider the album to be a mediocre recording on the part of the band, especially compared to their previous release and albums before it.

On July 17, 1992, Lemmy and Wurzel met with Tommy Vance to record their views on the album, the feature was broadcast on 'The Friday Rock Show' on July 31, seven tracks from the album were played.
