The Almighty are a hard rock/ heavy metal band, from Glasgow in Scotland who formed in 1988. Three of the founding members, Ricky Warwick, Stump Monroe and Floyd London were friends who met at school. Although the band members musical roots were in punk, The Almighty adopted a more heavy metal/ hard rock orientated musical direction in their early years, and their sound was compared favourably with the likes of The Cult, AC/DC and Motörhead. Later albums saw the band's musical style move towards the band members original punk roots.
They have released seven studio albums, two anthologies and one live album.
The Almighty is the self titled sixth studio album released by Scottish heavy metal band The Almighty. The cover art was designed by "Koot". Floyd London contributed the bass guitar parts on this recording, even though he had left the band some time previously.
