Head of David were a British heavy metal band that featured vocalist Stephen R. Burroughs and ex-Napalm Death member Justin Broadrick (later of Godflesh and Jesu). The band's sound paved way for various music genres, including industrial metal, grindcore and noise rock. The band were influenced by Suicide and covered the song "Rocket USA" on their first EP.
Andrea 'Ental described them in Spin as 'they re-create the feeling that music can not get anmore abrasive without decending into pure noise'.
Paul Sharp is now the drummer with Turning Black Like Lizards.
