There are, at least, three artists with the name Spearhead: 1) A UK metal band. 2) ’90s hip-hop project, of US singer-songwriter Michael Franti. See those pages separately. 3) A UK RAC band.
1) A UK black/death metal band formed in 2005. Their first album, ‘Deathless Steel Command’, is essentially a raw & fast death metal album with a black metal atmosphere/feeling. It was first released in 2005 on tape, but released shortly afterwards on CD format through Invictus Productions. Between albums the band recorded the promo CD ‘When the Pillars Fall’, which was never meant for public release. In June 2007 Spearhead recorded their second album, ‘Decrowning the Irenarch’. On this record they switched almost completely to a death metal sound comparable stylistically to Morbid Angel and Angelcorpse. In 2011 the band released their follow up (third) album entitled ‘Theomachia’ on Agonia Records. This followed on stylistically from its predecessor, but undeniably chose a more relentless approach; not to the extent of Hate Eternal, but in a way more brutal than ‘Decrowning the Irenarch’. This was also achieved by deciding to record all instruments in a “live” way. The drums, for example (provided by ex-Belphegor drummer) are to be heard on ‘Theomachia’ with a very natural sound in the context of a different style of production; this time with Orgone Studios (Code, Ulver, Virus). This is partly why the production gives a different impression to the 2007 work recorded at Hertz Studio (Decapitated, Behemoth, Vader).

It is yet it would sound same if they had used drum machine. No building up just endless blasting. I guess I'm bit spoilt by J. Read's drumming, hehe
