Riffology: Iconic Rock Albums Podcast

Welcome to Riffology!, here we embrace the mid life crisis by revisiting the most iconic records from our youth. Join us as we discuss the horror of realising we quite like some of the same things our parents did now. We talk about music too, if that’s your thing.

Join hosts Neil and Chris on the latest episode of Riffology, your ultimate rock music podcast, as they delve into the powerful yet overlooked album Soul Destruction by UK rock band The Almighty. Part of their exploration into 90s British rock, this episode shines a light on an influential album that often slipped under the radar, especially for listeners outside the UK.

Neil and Chris unpack the gritty, energetic sound of Soul Destruction, discussing its standout tracks, lyrical themes, and production nuances. They also examine the broader UK rock landscape of the early ‘90s, comparing the era’s understated rock movement to the more widely recognized Britpop phenomenon. Listen as they reveal fascinating insights, share personal anecdotes, and debate why bands like The Almighty did not achieve broader global acclaim despite their considerable talent and compelling music.

This episode is ideal for fans of classic rock, alternative rock, and music history enthusiasts interested in rediscovering hidden gems. Tune in to learn more about the unsung heroes of the British rock scene and why Soul Destruction deserves a prominent place in your rock playlist.
