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 'Enthal described them in Spin magazine as such: "they re-create the feeling that music cannot get any more abrasive without descending into pure noise".
