Head of David was a British heavy metal band of the late 1980s that featured vocalist Stephen R. Burroughs and ex-Napalm Death member Justin Broadrick (later of Godflesh and Jesu). The band's sound paved way to various music genres, including industrial metal, grindcore and noise rock.[1]

The original 1986 line-up has reunited, and are due to play Supersonic Festival 2010 in Birmingham. In an interview with Rock-A-Rolla magazine, Stephen R. Burroughs stated that "The back catalogue should be reissued this year [2009]. As for recording new stuff, it's now become apparent that we would all like to record something."
