1) A UK metal band.
2) A '90s hip-hop project, of US singer-songwriter Michael Franti.
3) A UK RAC band.
4) A Toronto, Canada punk band.
1) A UK black/death metal band formed in 2005. Their first album, ‘Deathless Steel Command’, is essentially a raw & fast death metal album with a black metal atmosphere/feeling. It was first released in 2005 on tape, but released shortly afterwards on CD format through Invictus Productions. 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’. On this record they switched almost completely to a death metal sound comparable stylistically to Morbid Angel and Angelcorpse. In 2011 the band released their follow up (third) album entitled 'Theomachia' on Agonia Records. This followed on stylistically from its predecessor, but undeniably chose a more relentless approach; not to the extent of Hate Eternal, but in a way more brutal than 'Decrowning the Irenarch'. This was also achieved by deciding to record all instruments in a "live" way. The drums, for example (provided by ex-Belphegor drummer) are to be heard on 'Theomachia' with a very natural sound in the context of a different style of production; this time with Orgone Studios (Code, Ulver, Virus). This is partly why the production gives a different impression to the 2007 work recorded at Hertz Studio (Decapitated, Behemoth, Vader).
Contrary to common opinion, Spearhead are not named after the Bolt Thrower track/release of the same name - it is merely a coincidence that their fellow countrymen used a militaristic name. Over the years the band has toured Europe and USA with Impiety and Urgehal, as well as supported numerous big acts like Onslaught, Napalm Death, Origin, Sabbat, Absu etc. Spearhead are currently preparing to play live again - this time with a slightly different line-up, since they long standing drummer, Vortigern, left the band.
2) Synonymous with Michael Franti (also see Michael Franti & Spearhead). His earlier projects include The Beatnigs & The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, which had more of an experimental/industrial sound. Spearhead then joined with Michael Franti; the young rapper who composed half of the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. The group separated after releasing their album Hypocracy is the Greatest Luxury (1992). The group then released two albums under the Spearhead name; Home (1994) and Chocolate Supa Highway (1997). The success of these dirty, wet, funky, smooth albums drove the name change to Michael Franti and Spearhead and their impressive success and influence can sadly sometimes overshadow the impressive early Spearhead releases. fans should refer to his other Last.fm pages to avoid confusion with the metal band, Spearhead.
3) An RAC band from the UK. The project of English Rose & Avalon members.
4) A Toronto, Canada punk band which débuted with a demo tape (2012, Survive Records).

every single soul
Spearhead Lyrics
Every single soul is like a poem, you know
It got words
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
Ya see moms and pops be copulatin'
Plantin' seeds and pickin' weeds for another season
Another reason for livin' another reason for givin'
Another reason for lovin' and tryin' stay out of prison
'Cause everything in life can't be nice
And everything you want can't be got
But the lessons on beein' patient be causing the pressure to rise
And make some people suicidal
Oh no, another soul, has lost control
We pull him back into the fold
He got strung out on the material
All the superficial initials upon his clothes
They make me wanna go Sprewell
Every time I see my family locked in jail
The economical can be demoniacal
Keep love in your soul
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
Ya see people are so beautiful in love
That's why I'm reminded of life's precious moments
Every time I see lovers walkin' by in the park
Close my eyes and I stop reminisce
To see a little baby suckin' on his mama's milk
'Ey silky smoothness of a lovin' caress holdin' baby to breast
And blessin' the world with another to test, test, test
Oh yes, oh yes, bom, bom, I'd like to sing a little song
Dedicated to the people who would like to sing along
'Cause every little song has little beats and notes
Like every little lake has little trees and boats
All people deserve a safe and warm home
'Cause every single soul is a poem
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
I want to show you somethin' beautiful
It's lovely, it's lovely
It's lovely, it's lovely, y'all
Right from the start in a world torn apart
A baby's love leaves finger prints upon the heart
So many think it but never say it
"Why bring a child to this planet full of hatred?"
They might not make it like the youngest departed
Or worst of all they might become a part of it
Involved in it, perpetuating violence, violence
And growing up in silence
Seein' things they don't know how to deal with
And learnin' ways, to try to cope with it
Cope with it, cope with it
But not lose hope
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
No matter where I roam, where I roam, y'all
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
No matter where I roam, where I roam, y'all
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
I want to show you somethin' beautiful
Livin' thing, livin' thing is beautiful
Livin' thing, livin' thing is beautiful
Livin' thing, livin' thing is beautiful
Livin' thing, livin' thing is beautiful
It got words
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
