Deep Dive Deliverance 1989

[@damiien2684]

I remember hearing California Metal and thinking MAN this band stands out. Almost 40 years later I have been with you Jimmy through the highs and lows and everything in between. Here's to even more to come!

[@mrram4531]

This is the album that was the catalyst for me into Christian Speed Metal. I listened to the first 2 songs and I bought the cassette, played it for all my friends and they all thought it was the best. And your 15 year old lyrics still hold up. Being only 15 does not mean God did not bless you with those lyrics. Jeremiah, Samuel, David, Daniel, Timothy all come to mind as people God called while they were young. God has used this album in so many ways and still does as people get introduced to the speed metal of the Big D... awesome

[@v-r2162]

I bought the very first Deliverance album right when it came out and I bought them all throughout my teenage years such good music

[@toddhurt426]

That takes me back. That album and the show in Greenville IL with One Bad Pig was formative for me and my best friend, Eric.

[@vividpugzz]

Love the story about "No Time" That's my favorite track and I love playing it on guitar. Perfect fun tune to warm up. Great video Jimmy.

[@garrynelson2861]

All these years later still love it now with my son.

[@justinjensen6721]

This was my 1st and continues to be one of my faverate metal/thrash albums ever. Total classic

[@drullo]

That melodic guitar part in No Love... I always hear "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in that. My brother and I have always said that.

[@brianrainsberger3417]

My introduction to the BIG D at the tender young age of 17. Also my first metal concert when Deliverance shared the stage with Martyr. Good times and good memories! Timeless album indeed.

[@rudymendezsalazar6696]

Hi Jimmy. Greetings from Costa Rica. Huge Deliverance band here. I love the self titled. I think I have 3 copies in CD and one in vinyl. I cant say how much the music of D has meant to me. In dark and sad times it has been the hope I needed. My favorite all time D song is "No time". Those lyrics made me a D fan and they totally got me into D. My favorite version is the one in the Intense Live series. It is so heavy and powerful. Thank you so much for some of the best music of the world. I have never seen you live nut my D collection is huge and I am proud of it. Thank you for making these story videos. I enjoy watching you very much. This album is one I have heard since my teen days and every time I listen to it, I am blown away!!! Greetings!!!

[@balmand4043]

That was great, love hearing the background story! I believe God has richly blessed this album. The straight unfiltered message is so needed even today. Its encouraging to hear it, when very few out there today speak so boldly.

[@timlotter7891]

No Love was my Favorite song!!😍🤩🎸🎶

[@MournfulMystic]

Been a fan since 89. This was very enjoyable! My favs were Blood of the Covenant, The Call and If you will... I can't get into the lyrics of No Time or Awake anymore as I grew out of that 'turn or burn' lyrical style after early 20s..but understand how black and white our thinking can be in late teens and it makes sense for young metal heads who can be attracted to the energy of that intensity.

[@fphlflash]

Lol. I bought s/t in a bookstore in Lafayette IN just on a whim. I had no clue at the time who Big D was, but I had money burning a hole in my pocket, so.... One of the best discoveries I ever made!

[@poolcrusher90]

Both Deliverance and Saint were the bands that introduced me to christian music that wasn't CCM. After that I got into Vengeance Rising, Seventh Angel, Bloodgood, Whitecross and much more.

[@drullo]

I absolutely love this album and it's still my "gym soundtrack" at least once a week

[@jerrypost6910]

What a wonderful surprise to see you pop up on my notifications!!! Very very cool.... Very looking forward to the album Learn!!

[@slamdancer1720]

The first time I saw y'all was at the metal Mardis Gras, my first experience of any extreme music to be honest. You and Vengeance. Thank you for blessing us with many years of awesome music.

[@awakesheep]

This was the hook for me! This album is my all time favorite through all these years. This album set the standard for Christian speed metal. love you brother In Christ.....JIG

[@zegonzales1]

I have the KMG 2 in 1 and the MP3 for this album . It's a timeless classic ; I'm no longer a Christian since 2008 , but this record remains as one of my favourites in all Heavy Metal 'til this day ...

[@user-lf6nc1iy6c]

Very educating and enlightening. Truly appreciated your comments on this Jimmy!

[@ftldelay]

Thanks for the deep dive! I've been a fan since "California Metal" came out and "Attack" ripped my face off... :) Looking forward to more deep dives!

[@briankhairullah3660]

Great job, Jimmy! I had forgotten how good this album sounds! You brought back a lot of great memories...wow! I enjoyed your insights, history and hindsight. Very Cool! 😎👍

[@daveapodaca7774]

The Call!!!! STILLS kicks boo-tay!!! One of my all time favorites!!! Mosh it up BABY👊🏽🫶🏽🤘🏽🙏🏽

[@joshhardison7060]

In a fiery pit that burns!!! Awake, is a killer song

[@lmando31]

Glad you're proud of this record because it is one of my favorites of all time. I love both the music and lyrics. Thank you so much for sharing the story behind the record and each song individually. I still haven't seen you and the band live, but I hope you get a chance to tour nearby El Paso, TX

[@anylangus7032]

Amazing we had such a fun time back then. Making up the band and those songs in your room.Yhrn in my garage. You, Chris, Alan, me and the couple of guitar players, because I couldn't get my shit together and get a decent guitar rig. Later I became good. But to be honest I never would have been the lead guitarist you needed. Plus you were going more in a hardcore direction than I was into at the time. I am so proud that you kept it going and those songs survive. As much as Chris and me use to fight, I miss him and wish he was around. He was passionate and came from a good heart. No Time is still a favorite. Your right Hold On Tightly wasn't right for this album. But it was still a great song. Your right about back in the day. A lot of the other "Christian" bands and even churches would judge and not support us. Even though we did for them. Can't to see you guys play again. Hope you can come home and and play in our So.California home. Final days of my open heart/lung surgery. Nightmare that I have been living with for the last 3+years is over. Probably been dealing with it for many more that I don't want to know. I miss you my friend. Hope to get out to Vegas soon to visit you and Helen. So glad you stuck to your guns and made the band you envisioned. Also so great you branched out to other music you love. Not to many other metal kids (besides you, me and Scott Stewart) listened Bowie, when we were that young. Love you brother, And Hurry Up Before The Glue Dries!

My dear Bro Trent!!! We need to connect!!!

[@maxserver3985]

love this album (on cassette) and weapons of warfare (on CD). Catchy tunes, great riffs.

Good to see a post from you brother! My Favorite album of all time. Owned it on Cassette, CD and digital!

Such an incredible speed metal album!! Such have been huge!

[@TuffEsox]

Thank you so much, JPBII! I've been waiting 35 years for this!

[@robhale1999]

GLAD TO SEE A BE VIDEO!!!!!!

[@jsosgood]

Blood of the Covenant is my favorite Deliverance song.

[@Six-Winged]

Crushing stuff JPBii

[@madkinski]

When I was a 13 year old kid in Oregon listening to this cassette over and over while doing yardwork in the Summer or playing air guitar in my bedroom I would have paid good money to have the access and the privilege to hear these details from the artists themselves. Now I’m pushing 50 and although I miss the mystery of the whole thing (I thought you guys were “scary”, not just a bunch of kids who were a few years older than me), it’s fantastic to hear these stories and commentary. This album is really, really great, and I’ll never tire of it.

[@poolcrusher90]

Where a bouts in Oregon did you live. I lived in Albany when I first listened to deliverance

[@madkinski]

@@poolcrusher90 Roseburg

[@poolcrusher90]

@madkinski cool, I didn't see them as scary as compared to the cover of vengeance risings human sacrifice. But I bought the album anyway and loved the thrashy growly vocals that spoke of God and Jesus while doing it.

[@v-r2162]

@@madkinski I grew up in North Idaho Coeur d'Alene just 20 minutes of Spokane and I was listening to these guys about the same time

[@Trevoradviseore]

I remember the first time I heard "what a joke" I was an instant fan and had to find all of your music. I am not sure if its because "what a joke" was my introduction, but I have always held that album in high regard. Jimmy and the band are some talented and great guys, love the guitars, vocals and especially those drums!

[@zegonzales1]

What a Joke is also great , but more into pure "Thrash Metal" than "Deliverance" was . To me personally , What a Joke is the christian response to "Among the Living" ...

[@Trevoradviseore]

@@zegonzales1 the anthrax album? I never listened to it, but I know of it.

[@TheOldMan2084]

This was pretty awesome. I love these deep dives! Jehovah Jireh is on my worship playlist myself. Definitely would love a deep dive of Learn if you were ever so inclined.

[@jetway7777]

Great Stuff ....Deliverance Was Always My #1 FAVORITE ...Seeing You Guys At His 2 Fest In 1988 Was KILLER!!! , Same Year I Saw Metallica At Monsters Of Rock In L.A. ..... The Raw Energy Was The Same At Deliverance Shows!!!!!...........

[@melkatts]

I enjoyed this a lot.

[@brendanstewart777]

This was my introduction to Christian thrash. I was a young born again dude who was/(still is) a metal head when, this release tore into the very marrow of me! You and the guys told me I could still be me on the straight and narrow way. You were a blessing then, you remain a blessing now. My life is richer thanks to your calling. Thanks Jimmy, thanks Deliverance 🤘😀🤘

[@JimmyPBrownII]

@@brendanstewart777 Thank You Brendan, my dear Friend and Patron!!!

[@SimenSebastian]

Hey Jimmy! Really liked this deep dive. I’m not a christian but I really enjoy your music, especially those first two. In fact, I’m gonna listen to them right now. Are you gonna do a deep dive video of Weapons of our Warfare too? 🤝

[@samuelmoore6231]

Jimmy!!!

[@user-lf6nc1iy6c]

I would love a deep dive for LEARN.

[@soldier7778]

Back in early 1990 a buddy had the debut taped off. I then taped it off off of his copy. i was hooked from the first riff of Victory. I played it over and over. I ended up buying Deliverance and Weapons cassettes in the summer of 1991 and What a Joke cassette a few months later in the fall of 1991. Prior to this the heaviest Christian Metal I had in my collection were bands like Barren Cross, Bloodgood and Saint. These bands sort of touched on speed and thrash with a couple of songs like Black Snake but Deliverance dove right into it all the way. Not to compare Deliverance to Metallica and Slayer, but I was glad there was a Christian band that was at the same level and talent as bands like these. I always though the musicianship was just insane! I was into Vengeance briefly shortly afterwards and had the first cassette Human Sacrifice but they never stuck until I bough Once Dead a few years ago which to me was a better albumthant their first one. Roger's vocals kind of cracks me up from time to time. It's almost like cookie monster trying to sing about a serious subject matter. The funny thing is I have very little Speed and Thrash in my collection to this day except Vengeance Once Dead, Ultimatum Into the Pit, The Moshketeers and Join the Dead I listen to Mostly Old School Melodic Christian Hard Rock and Metal ranging from John Elefante to Saint (I show case my collection on my channel Soldier777) but for some reason the thrashy/speed side of Deliverance as well as some of the more slowed down/melodic side like Stay of Execution resonated with me.

[@krugg2798]

It was probably my introduction to thrash metal completely. I love it! Btw......Is there any updates on the new Deliverance album "Twelve"?

[@growingmusician]

Any production update for the band's upcoming album Twelve?

[@metalmauce]

I like your Sean Connery look! :)

[@ErWo75]

Most of this album sounds like Metallica with Geoff Tate on vocals (especially Awake). I’m surprised to hear that Glen Benton likes the album!

[@poolcrusher90]

Jimmy, I'll ask again. What are the lyrics for the song Rescue? I have yet to find them. Thanks, Deliverance has made a lasting impression on me and my music listening tastes.

[@JimmyPBrownII]

[@GoodTimes4All]

The silly thing is, there's no such a thing as "no time" - as God doesn't exist or is bound by time. This song's implication that you'll even run out of time - past God's grace and love, is also unbiblical. Love the music tho! :)
