Metal-Archives Reviews
Another album that has gained a well-deserved iconic reputation within speed metal and melodic thrash circles is 1990 Intense Records Deliverance sophomore album Weapons Of Our Warfare.
Angelic Warlord Reviews
In 1999Lars Ulrich, drummer for the Metallica, hosted a show in which he named Deliverance’s “Weapons of Our Warfare” as one of his Top 10 metal videos of all time.
Solid sales afforded a bigger budget for Weapons of Our Warfare, which is still
mentioned with hushed reverence among Christian metalheads as one of the best speed metal albums of all time.

ABOUT THE ALBUM
Deliverance –Weapons of Our Warfare(35th Anniversary Edition)
Released in 1990,Weapons of Our Warfaredidn’t just raise the bar—itwasthe bar. Now, 35 years later, this landmark album returns in a definitive edition that reclaims its place as one of the most iconic and revered thrash records in the history of Christian metal—and beyond.
Coming off the momentum of their self-titled debut, Deliverance sharpened their attack with a sound that rivaled the giants of the era. While Metallica was deliveringMaster of Puppetsand Slayer unleashedReign in Blood, Deliverance stood shoulder to shoulder withWeapons of Our Warfare—an album overflowing with fire, speed, and spiritual conviction. The arrival of guitarist George Ochoa (Recon) joined forces with frontman Jimmy P. Brown II to unleash a twin guitar assault of technical brilliance and blazing intensity.
From the very first notes,Weapons...ignites with adrenaline-drenched compositions and a fierce sense of purpose. Songs like “Slay the Wicked,” “Solitude,” “If We Faint Not,” and the explosive title track showcase the band’s ability to fuse complexity with clarity, and muscle with melody. Brown’s guitar mastery and lyrical urgency drive the album, while Ochoa’s shredding adds bite and brilliance.
This 35th Anniversary Edition includes not only the full remastered album—meticulously enhanced by Rob Colwell to sound better than ever—but also a treasure trove of bonus material. For the first time, fans can hear the studio version of “Rescue,” recorded for the original album but left unreleased until now. In addition, the release features eight crushing tracks from the originalWeaponsdemo sessions, capturing the raw power of a band forging its legacy.
The cultural impact ofWeapons of Our Warfarewas undeniable. The video for the title track made history as thefirst Christian metal song to air on MTV, spending twelve weeks in theTop 3 of Headbanger’s Ball. Years later, Metallica’s Lars Ulrich would name it one of hisTop 10 metal videos of all time—a moment of validation from the heart of the mainstream metal world.
Still ranked among the greatest metal albums of its time,Weapons of Our Warfarehas earned its place on countless best-of lists, including a Top 3 finish on Christian Metal Realm’s 100 Greatest Albums and a Top 20 spot on Angelic Warlord’s 1990s ranking. More importantly, it remains a vital, visceral listen—sounding just as urgent and uncompromising now as it did in 1990.
Thirty-five years later,Weapons of Our Warfarestill rages with purpose, passion, and precision. This is more than a reissue. This is a celebration of legacy. A restoration of power. And a reminder that great metal doesn't fade—it gets sharper with time.
