His music blends death-metal growls, sharp-edged screams, and rap with industrial electronics and high-energy instrumentals. His debut album, THE ADEPT, released on his label HAEKALU, received wide international acclaim. The Guardian named it one of the Top 10 Global Albums of 2024, and BBC Radio, Pitchfork, Arte, Dazed, The Fader, NTS, Crack, Resident Advisor, and The Quietus, among others, all praised its adventurous, boundary-pushing vision. In September 2025, Lord Spikeheart released REIGN, an EP featuring collaborations with Iggor Cavalera, Brodinski, and Togolese heavyweights Arka’n Asrafakor. The project continued to attract international attention from outlets including Metal Hammer, The Fader, and The Wire, further establishing his distinctive voice within contemporary heavy and experimental music. Lord Spikeheart has gained widespread recognition for his relentlessly high-energy live performances, which frequently erupt into full-blown mosh pits and bring an explosive intensity to clubs and festival stages. His live show has made him a standout at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and venues, including Le Guess Who?, Unsound, Berlin Atonal, Dark Mofo, Rewire, Playtime, ICA London and the Venice Biennale, among others. His REIGN audiovisual show, created with the Greek studio NMR.CC, which premiered at Berlin Atonal 2025, is available to watch in full via Resident Advisor. Lord Spikeheart is currently working on his second full-length album, scheduled for release in 2027, with further international touring planned around the new release. *********** (DE) Der kenianische Sänger, Songwriter und Produzent Martin Kanja, besser bekannt als Lord Spikeheart, hat sich zu einer der markantesten Stimmen der kenianischen Heavy- und…
