The Holy Lance, also known as the Lance of Longinus (named after Saint Longinus), the Spear of Destiny, or the Holy Spear is legendarily known as the lance that pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross. The lance (Greek: λόγχη, lonkhē) is mentioned in the Gospel of John (19:31–37), but not the Synoptic Gospels. The gospel states that the Romans planned to break Jesus' legs, a practice known as crurifragium, which was a method of hastening death during a crucifixion

Spear of Destiny The Junction, Cambridge 23rd Oct 2013. Spear of Destiny – 30 years and counting! – Neal Wright celebrates the return of the groundbreaking 80’s post punks. Tonight the fanfare that announces the arrival of Spear of Destiny to the stage is from another age, when gigs summoned a mixture of vivid emotions, often a rousing and intense experience. Back in 1983 it was a bleak time. Despite Orwell’s stark advice we couldn’t see all the dark, sinister developments on the horizon.

Hard to believe Kirk Brandon has been leading SPEAR OF DESTINY for over 30 years. He looks younger and fresher than the rest of us put together. To coincide with new album "31 (THIRTY-ONE)" the band are touring in the auttumn - excellent news! Rising from the grave of bleak post-punkers Theatre of Hate, singer/guitarist Kirk Brandon and bassist Stan Stammers' brand of goth-rock encompassed romantic, poetic lyrics set to dark, slow chants smothered in atmosphere and dry ice. Oh, and they rocked like bastards as well. A total powerhouse live, SOD take no prisoners.

Spear of Destiny however, have just released their 14th studio album, Tontine, a matter of weeks ago so naturally a tour in support of that would be a good idea. Faced with the conundrum of doing a celebratory nostalgic tour or one highlighting their fresh, brand spanking new material showing that they are still a forward moving creative force, they took the perfect compromise and pretty much did both. Brighton, from the new album was the perfect opener. Pure, classic Spear of Destiny with Brandon& voice in pristine form. Flying Scotsman and The Preacher swiftly followed from the Grapes of Wrath album and the rest of the set followed in similar fashion with a couple of new songs followed by a couple from Grapes of Wrath. With a collective 200 years’ worth of recording and concert experience behind them, give or take a year or two, they didn& half whip up a storm.

The spear used to pierce the side of Jesus Christ has had many different owners throughout the years. The most pivotal role the Spear had come in World War II as it fell into the hands of Adolf Hitler.
