Outland, the fourth studio album from Kirk Brandon's Spear of Destiny, arrived in 1987 hard on the heels of World Service, and it gave the band the biggest hit it would ever have. Brandon, the singer, guitarist and chief songwriter, had started the group in London in 1982 with bassist Stan Stammers, and faces had come and gone ever since, but the centre held: that huge, dramatic, windswept voice, forever bellowing at the horizon.
"Never Take Me Alive" did the damage, climbing to No. 14 on the UK singles chart, the only time Spear of Destiny cracked the Top 20 there. Three more singles followed it out, "Strangers in Our Town", "Was That You?" and "The Traveller", and every one made the UK Top 50. The album hung around the British chart for 13 weeks, peaking at No. 16 that May, before The Price You Pay took over.
