Spear Of Destiny
Spear of Destiny is a British rock band, established in 1983 by singer and songwriter Kirk Brandon (born on 3 August 1956, in Westminster, London) and bassist Stan Stammers (born on 19 May 1961).
It had an ever-changing line-up through the years. Brandon had previously been in The Pack, and from 1980 to 1982 in the post-punk Theatre of Hate with its album Westworld and single 'Do You Believe In The Westworld ?', which was a UK Top 40 single in 1982, whilst the album made the Top 20.
As had happened with Joy Division and New Order, the band were criticised for using the name Spear of Destiny, with its potential Nazi overtones.
Any such links were fiercely denied, particularly since the band were politically left-leaning. Spear of Destiny recorded one session for John Peel (recorded 22/11/1982, transmitted on BBC Radio 1 on 29/11/1982). Between 1980 and 1982, Theatre of Hate recorded three. "The band played a punk-influenced form of power rock, which often had an anthemic feel".
