HAVE ANY OF OUR U.S. READERS HEARD OF THE ALMIGHTY?

No, not the power that be in the heavens — the kick ass U.K. hard rock group The Almighty who were huge in their homeland in the early ’90s but made nary an impact on American soil. Aversionline webmaster and MetalSucks commenter Andrew wrote a post about the Almighty last week, and I’m embarrassed to admit that when I read the column today it was the first time I’d ever heard about this group. The Almighty seem to be the U.K.’s answer to Saigon Kick, though I’m sure someone who knows more about them can correct me and point to elements of their catalogue other than the video for “Addiction,” reposted from Aversionline below. Fans of Saigon Kick, Skid Row and King’s X are sure to love The Almighty.
