King Of Kings
Spear Of Destiny
King Of Kings is a 2017 live album by British rock band Spear Of Destiny, released as a double‑CD and DVD set on Secret Records and documenting a 2002 performance at The Limelight Club. Running 24 tracks and just under two hours, it functions less as a studio concept album than as an expansive career overview in concert form, capturing the band’s blend of alternative rock, post‑punk, and anthemic, guitar‑driven songwriting. The release’s later 2026 CD issue keeps the same material in circulation, underscoring its importance as a definitive live document in the group’s catalog.
The setlist places the song “King Of Kings” alongside fan favorites like “Brave New Soldiers,” “Legion,” “Propaganda,” “Rainmaker,” and “The Wake,” showcasing frontman Kirk Brandon’s dramatic vocals against a muscular rhythm section and ringing, melodic guitars. Recorded in a club setting, the performance emphasizes raw energy and tight ensemble playing, giving these songs a more urgent, immediate edge than many of their studio counterparts while still retaining Spear Of Destiny’s penchant for big, emotive choruses and politically tinged lyrics. As a package—with audio and video of the same show—King Of Kings stands as a central reference point for understanding the band’s live power in the early 2000s and remains a key entry for listeners exploring their post‑1980s work.
