 One of the most 'ignorant' (in the good sense) and most fun bands of those years came to mind, that is the Scottish 'The Almighty'.

Only 'Seven Deadly Saints' stands out as a memorable track. Overall, the reviewer expresses strong disappointment. Explore the full review and decide if Bible Of The Devil deserves a listen despite its flaws.
