Human Punk presents:
Spear of Destiny
Support from Claytown Troupe
Spear of Destiny was formed by Kirk Brandon and Stan Stammers from the wreckage of , and named, with characteristic grandeur, for the weapon with which the Roman centurion Longinus pierced the body of the crucified Christ. Much of the group's debut album was already in place before Lasette Ames and Chris Bell joined; released on the band's own label, The Grapes of Wrath echoed 's final demos with astonishing precision.
Brandon and Spear of Destiny have worked constantly -- 2003's Morning Star album was followed by Imperial Prototype in 2007, while 2006 brought Tons of Sods, a collection of re-recorded classics hailing from radio sessions that same year. The band's U.K. tour that same year spawned the Reanimation live DVD, while Brandon has also supervised a major reissue campaign, not only restoring the band's most crucial albums to bonus-track-stacked life, but also compiling the essential four-CD Kirk Brandon Anthology box set
