-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.+Deliverance formed in 1985 as a Christian metal band when [[Jimmy P. Brown II]] was 15 years old.

-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]].+When the band re-formed after a few months, Brian Khairulla became their new bass player.

They also decided to get out and play live more, especially at clubs. Their message met with a good amount of resistance in the clubs.
  
-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.+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. Farkas had left the band by this time. Pastor Bob Beeman of [[Sanctuary Church]] had seen Deliverance at a club in 1986 and liked what he saw. He got to know Brown and encouraged the band to contribute tracks to //California Metal//. However, [[Regency Records]] was not sure about having a speed metal band on the compilation. Beeman was able to convince the label to let Deliverance on the compilation, and that was the band's first big break. However, the label still said no to [[Vengeance Rising]]. 
 + 
 +At some point by 1988, Glenn Rogers had joined Deliverance on guitar. They recorded 5 demos for [[Intense Records]] to try and convince the the label to sign them. These demos were recorded in studio in the garage used by [[Jordan]]. The last demo was the one that finally convinced Intense to sign the band. That demo was included as the last tracks on //Back in the Day: The First Four Years//.
