The Almighty

Soul Destruction

£29.99

Released: 24th November 2023. The second re-released album from Glasgow's The Almighty sees their second release from 1991 issued on colour 180gm vinyl. With some clear confident strides forward from their debut, The Almighty engage from the opening track 'Crucify' with thunderous Van Halenesque drums and a searing heavy metal riff evoking a Motörhead/Diamond Head union, before heading into deeper, groovier waters with the likes of 'Praying to the Red Light' and 'Devil's Toy'. By the time the speed-weighted closer 'Loaded' has rocked and rolled, 'Soul Destruction' has nourished rockers from all walks and sub-genres, dirty and greasy enough to appeal to filthy renegade outlaws, yet melodic and sophisticated enough to engage those who like soap and water. It is, amazingly, produced by Duran Duran's Andy Taylor, and in May 1991, frontman Ricky Warwick said to The Daily Record that, 'The album is about four basic things - hate, love, religion and sex. All those subjects fascinate me, especially sex.' subjects as timeless as this album proves to be.
