 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 formed in 1985 as a Christian metal band when [[Jimmy P. Brown II]] was 15 years old. Joining Brown were Chris Hyde (formerly of [[Holy Soldier]] on drums and Manny Morales on bass guitar. The band didn't have a leader singer at first, as the band wasn't sure they wanted Brown on vocals. However, Brown wanted to do the vocals and soon became their lead singer. They recorded some songs on a ghetto blaster as a three piece band. Brown and Hyde went to see Hyde's old band play one night and noticed they had a guitar player named Larry Farkas that did not fit in with the glam look of that band. They gave Farkas a copy of their //Ghetto Blaster Sessions// tape and he decided to join the band. However, the band went on hold for a few months.
+When the band re-formed after a few months, Brian Khairulla became their new bass player. In 1986, they went into a studio to record a four-song ep. The band was not happy with that recording, so they never released it. Two songs from the //Ghetto Blaster Sessions// and one song from their first demo session were eventually released on the //Back in the Day: The First Four Years// compilation in 2000 by [[Magdalene Records]].
+The band did not really become a speed metal band until 1986. The Christian metal community first encountered them on the compilation album //California Metal// in 1987. 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//.

 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."
