Spear of Destiny

Hard to believe we know but it is true, Kirk Brandon has now been 
leading SPEAR OF DESTINY for over 39 years.
SPEAR OF DESTINY were formed in 1983 after the demise of Kirk Brandon’s 
post punk iconic rockers THEATRE OF HATE. (Brandon had also, before TOH, 
been the main man in every punk rockers favourite band of that era The Pack)
The current line up of Spear is the longest serving to date and features 
Adrian Portas (New Model Army / Sex Gang Children), Craig Adams (Sisters 
of Mercy / The Cult / The Mission) and Phil Martini (Jim Jones and the 
Righteous Mind) on drums. During 2019 the line up was boasted by 
Saxophonist Clive Osborne. Long time Brandon collaborator Steve 
Allen-Jones completes the band line up on keyboards for 2022.
Post Pandemic has seen SOD play some fabulous club shows and festivals 
including sell out shows at the iconic 100 Club in London, Manchester 
Ritz and Glasgow Oran Mor. SOD's performances at Sign of the Times, 
Rebellion and Kubix festivals have heralded fantastic reviews “Festival 
Stealing Dream set” wrote The Northern Echo.
Over the past year Brandon has penned 14 brand new tracks for SOD and 
these songs will form Spear of Destiny's 15th Studio LP release entitled 
'Ghost Population'. These brand new recordings will be released across 
the world on Monday 31st October 2022 via Brandon's own Easter Snow 
recording Company.
