There is more than one artist with this name:

1) A black/death Metal band from the UK, formed in 2005.

The first album ‘Deathless Steel Command’ is essentially a raw and fast death metal album with a black metal atmosphere and feeling. It was first released in 2005 on tape, but released shortly afterwards on CD format through Invictus Productions (Ireland). 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’ — their acclaimed work which has given them their renown. On this record they switched almost completely to a death metal sound comparable stylistically to Morbid Angel and Angelcorpse.

Over the years the band has toured Europe and the USA with Impiety and Urgehal, as well as supported numerous big acts like Onslaught, Napalm Death, Origin, Sabbat, Absu etc. Spearhead are currently writing their 3rd album, due to be released on Agonia Records sometime in the latter half of 2010.

Similar bands: Azarath, Nox, Centurian, Infernal War, Dead Congregation, Impiety, Angelcorpse, Anima Damnata, Dawn of Azazel, Stillborn.

See: Michael Franti (see Michael Franti and Spearhead). His earlier projects include The Beatnigs, and The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, which had more of an experimental/industrial sound. See Michael Franti pages separately.


3) An RAC band from the UK. The project of English Rose and Avalon members.
