History

Formation and early albums (1985–1992)

Deliverance was formed in 1985 in Los Angeles by Jimmy P. Brown II.[1] They debuted in 1989 with Deliverance, followed up by Weapons of Our Warfare in 1990, What a Joke in 1991, and Stay of Execution in 1992.[2][3] These four releases featured traditional thrash and speed metal sounds.[2] The band was one of the pioneers of Christian thrash metal.[4] The debut album earned them a label as Metallica clones, although this was sometimes meant as a praise of the band.[1] Weapons of Our Warfare is considered the peak of the band's career.[2] The music video for the title song earned regular airplay on MTV, and in 1999 Metallica's Lars Ulrich listed the video as among his Top 10 metal videos.[1] On Stay of Execution, the band began changing in sound in response to changes in the music scene. For this release, they moved from thrash and speed metal into progressive metal and, slightly, alternative metal.[5]

Three more albums and first breakup (1992–1996)

The sonic changes begun with Stay of Execution became permanent with subsequent releases Learn (1993), River of Disturbance (1994), and Camelot in Smithereens (1995).[1] The previous comparisons to Metallica gave way to comparisons to Queensrÿche.[1] River of Disturbance marked another dramatic shift in sound for the group with an alternative rock style that as a more popular genre than metal at the time.[2] It included a rap rock collaboration with the hip-hop group 12th Tribe.[1] After the release of Camelot in Smithereens, the group disbanded.[2]

Reformation, breakup, and reformation (2001–2010)

Deliverance reformed in 2001 and released the album Assimilation, before once again breaking up.[2] In 2006, Deliverance reformed with a lineup of Jimmy P. Brown II, Mike Phillips, Corin Jae Scott, Tim Kronyak, and Mike Reed. The band's seventh studio album, As Above - So Below, was released on April 24, 2007.[6]

In 2010, Deliverance played the only show without Jimmy P. Brown II at NordicFest.[7]

Third breakup and another reunion (2011–present)

On May 20, 2011 Mike Phillips announced that Deliverance was finally coming to end and would be performing their final show in August 2011.[8] However, by July 2012, Deliverance had resurfaced again[9] and been working on their tenth studio album Hear What I Say!, which was released on September 3, 2013 on Roxx Records and was planned as their final album.[10][11] However, Jimmy Brown had later stated that Hear What I Say! would most likely not be their final album.[12]

Though Brown stated that Hear What I Say! would be the last album, he announced that Deliverance would release new material in 2016. The band, whose lineup consists of former guitarist George Ochoa, former drummer Jim Chaffin and bassist Victor Máciás, played Exodo Fest in Mexico with Silent Planet and Grave Robber.[13] In 2017, the self-titled album was re-released on vinyl through Roxx, and Weapons of Our Warfare was re-released through Bombworks Records.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Later on in the year, it was announced that guitarist Glenn Rogers had returned to the band and that Ochoa had departed.[14][15] It was also stated that Greg Minier (The Crucified) would record solos on the album.[14][15] On September 28, 2017, it was announced that Deliverance had signed to Roxx Records and 3 Frogz Records, who released the band's eleventh studio album, The Subversive Kind, in early 2018.[16][17] On October 28, 2017, the band released their debut single off of the album, "The Black Hand", accompanied with a lyric video.[18] On February 20, 2020 the band announced bassist Victor Macias was going to be replaced with Manny Morales.[19]
