The Almighty - The best of mates reunite for three shows". MetalTalk.net. 1 March 2023 . Retrieved 1 March 2023. Recording of the Almighty's second studio album, Soul Destruction, began in December 1990 [8] with Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor as producer. [2] The album was released in March 1991 along with the lead single "Free'n'Easy". [5] In February and March the band toured the UK supporting Motörhead and Megadeth. [1] In June 1991 they embarked on a headline UK tour. [10] The concert at the Town and Country club in London was filmed and released later that year on VHS as Soul Destruction – Live. [11] Later in the year they supported Alice Cooper on a European tour. [12] Most Almighty fans will already have this is their collections and it’s as good as you remember, maybe even better. The production, courtesy of Mark Dodson (Judas Priest, Suicidal Tendencies) is brilliant – crystal clear and full-bodied, while the band are playing better than they ever had, energised by their new sound and guitarist. Everything seemed to fall into place at the right time. Speaking of disc 2, it’s a lovely addition. the B-sides of the singles are present and padded with demos of Wild and Wonderful, Soul Destruction, the aforementioned Out Of Season and Free n Easy. By mid-2005 bassist Floyd London had won an unpublicised fight against Lukemia which brought the band together to play once again. The classic lineup reformed for two Lukemia Research benefit shows in January 2006, which was followed by a Headline appearance at the 2006 Bulldog Bash, then a short 5-date tour at the end of December 2006.

Notes

It’s hard to figure out why Scottish band THE ALMIGHTY didn’t achieve bigger international success, perhaps they were just between genre’s doing their own thing. They had a great cult following because they never really followed the trends and flavor of the week, but it also prevented them from mainstream success. However, the expanded addition features an excellent fully illustrated booklet, complete with detailed liner notes from Malcolm Dome, based on interviews with the band. In February 2007 a Greatest Hits CD/DVD Anthology: The Gospel According To… was released with the full support of the band, this was followed in July 2007 with a live DVD of the Glasgow Lukemia Research show from January 2006. a b c d "Fan Club Newsletter Issue 8".

This album represents The Almighty at their best. Always Wild and Wonderful, Free ‘N’ Easy and they will never be Out Of Season. Granted, it didn’t propel them into the mainstream, they were more of a cult-status band already and “Powertrippin’” didn’t really change that, but they kept a sound that still sounds pretty timeless and fresh to this day.

This release features a fully illustrated booklet, complete with detailed liner notes from Malcolm Dome based on interviews with the band. THE ALBMIGHTY were on a terror in the early 90’s with three albums in just over three years, 1993’s “Powertrippin”, “Crank” in 1994 and finally “Just Add Life” in 1996. The last of the trilogy was perhaps the most diverse album with feel closer to THE CLASH and a return to some earlier punk influences. at Ridge Farm Studios, Capel, Surrey, England; Demoed 1992 at Sawmills Studios, Golant, Cornwall, England [1]a b c d "Fan Club Newsletter Issue 11".
