 +Deliverance is an American Christian thrash metal band which later shifted more towards heavy metal and progressive metal. Founded by [[Jimmy P. Brown II]] in 1985, many members have either stayed in the lineup for a number of years, or left and returned to the lineup. [[Jimmy P. Brown II]] has been the only constant member of Deliverance.
 +
 +Deliverance formed in 1985 as a speed metal outfit, where the Christian metal community first encountered them on the compilation album //California Metal//. They released their self-titled debut album //Deliverance// in 1989 with [[Jimmy P. Brown II]] (guitars and lead vocals), Glenn Rogers (lead guitar), Brian Khairullah (bass), and Chris Hyde (drums). In 1989, Deliverance's track "If You Will" from their self-titled album appeared on //Hot Metal Summer II// along with a recorded interview.
 +
 +Deliverance garnered significant attention in the Christian metal community with their 1990 release //Weapons of Our Warfare//. During this time, the band replaced guitarist Glenn Rogers with George Ochoa. Deliverance released a video on MTV for the title track of //Weapons//. The track was also included on Intense Records compilation album //Hot Metal Summer III Hot Licks - Cold Facts//.
 +
 +During the production of their third album, //What a Joke//, Brian Khairullah and Chris Hyde were replaced with Mike Grato and Kevin Lee respectively. The album did not perform as well, and tensions within the band resulted in the departure of George Ochoa.
 +
 +Their fourth album was a major change in direction for the band musically. //Stay of Execution// went in a more progressive metal direction, complete with new guitarist Mike Phillips.
 +
 +In an interview with Doug Van Pelt of HM Magazine, when asked about the musical change, Jimmy P. Brown explained:
 +
 +"I got tired of being labeled 'Oh, there's Deliverance.... the Metallica clones are back.' You know, that got really old. Because in a sense we were kind of ripping them off. But I definitely know that the Lord wants us to be original. I want to be original. So I think it was time."
 +
 +While this move did anger fans at the time, others feel that //Stay// represents Deliverance's best work. Their fifth album, //Learn//, continued in a progressive direction with new bassist Manny Morales and lead guitarist Jonathan Maddux. From this time on, the other positions in the band changed with increasing frequency, but the core of the band remained Jimmy Brown and Manny Morales.
 +
 +Deliverance released //River Disturbance// in 1994 and //Camelot in Smithereens// in 1995. //Camelot// was the poorest seller in the Deliverance catalog at the time.
 +
 +After a four-year hiatus, Deliverance resurfaced in 2000 and began recording their next studio album, //Assimilation//, which was released in the following year. //Assimilation// represented another change in style with a shift towards a more electronic/industrial sound. Deliverance again went on hiatus until 2006.
 +
 +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 next album //As Above - So Below// was released on April 24, 2007. The album featured a mix of all their past material (musically) with some more modern metal elements.
 +
 +Deliverance announced they would be releasing a new album sometime in 2010 called //The Annals of Subterfuge//. This would mark Deliverance's 25th Anniversary. Though rumors persist of reuniting with past members, it became apparent that Jimmy would be recording the upcoming album with Mike Phillips. This album was never released under this title, but apparently morphed into their next album.
 +
 +Though the group officially disbanded in 1996, there have been fan demands for concert performances and new albums which caused the intermittent reunions every 4–5 years. [[Jimmy P. Brown II]] spent about 10 years working in the casino industry in Las Vegas, but currently resides in Alabama continuing his career with the casino industry. Jimmy has been quoted as saying: "I moved to Alabama to be close with my family, and to try regain normalcy for my family. Having lived in the fantasy land of Las Vegas for the past 10 years, I wanted to stay in the casino biz, but didn't want my kids growing up the Vegas way".
 +
 +In 2010, Deliverance played the only show without [[Jimmy P. Brown II]] at NordicFest.
 +
 +On May 20, 2011 Mike Phillips announced that Deliverance was finally coming to end and would be performing their final show in August 2011. However, by July 2012, Deliverance had resurfaced again and been working on their tenth studio album //Hear What I Say!//, which was released on September 3, 2013 on Roxx Records and was originally labeled as their final album.
 +
 +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. In 2017, the self-titled album was re-released on vinyl through Roxx, and //Weapons of Our Warfare// was re-released through Bombworks Records. Later on in the year, it was announced that guitarist Glenn Rogers had returned to the band and that Ochoa had departed. It was also stated that Greg Minier (The Crucified) would record solos on the album. 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. On October 28, 2017, the band released their debut single off of the album, "The Black Hand", accompanied with a lyric video.
 +
 +Outside of Deliverance, Jimmy Brown has had several side projects. One was the electronica-industrial-gothic group [[Fearful Symmetry]]. The project name was taken from the poem "The Tyger" by William Blake. This group released two albums, //This Sad Veil of Tears// in 2002 and //A Loss of Balance// in 2005.
 +
 +Also in 2005, Jimmy formed an outfit called [[Jupiter VI]] along with Brian Khairullah, Trevor Shannon, Mike Reed, and Tiberius Ahan. This band provided an outlet for Jimmy to express his love for glam rock, cited influences from Bowie, T-Rex, DA, Iggy Pop and others from the genre. They released two albums: //Back From Mars// in 2006 and //Moveable Walls// in 2014.
