The band were first formed by Kirk Brandon in 1980, releasing the album Westworld and its anthemic hit single 'Do You Belive In the Westworld', before giving way to SPEAR OF DESTINY in 1982. They reconvened in 2014 and have been recording periodically at Oxygen Studios in Manchester ever since. Part-funded by pledgers, the resulting album Kinshi will see the light of day on 14 October. It's available to pre-order here.
The band, featuring original members Brandon, bassist Stan Stammers and sax-player John 'Boy' Lennard, plus Adrian Portas, Danny Farrent and Chris Bell, then head off on tour, kicking off with an exclusive London show for pledgers and pre-orderers. Catch Theatre Of Hate on the road at....
