Spear Of Destiny are a post-punk rock band who formed in the 1980s lead by Kirk Brandon, former Theatre of Hate frontman. They are best known for their single, Never Take Me Alive, which was a top 20 hit in 1987.
They had (and still have) a cult following and they have produced ten studio albums, notably ‘One Eyed Jacks’ and ‘World Service’. They still tour today and their most recent studio album, Loadestone, has been very well received. It includes a remarkable cover of the Joy Division track, Transmission.
Kirk Brandon toured with original members of Theatre of Hate in April 2007, and a reissued version of the Westworld album is due to be released with several newly recorded tracks.
SOD’s ‘Imperial Prototype’ was released towards the end of 2007 and saw the band return to form. They embarked on a Singles tour in 2008, and included Adrian Portas (New Model Army / Sex Gan Children) and Craig Adams (ex Sisters of Mercy / Mission).
