First two DELIVERANCE albums to be re-released on CD...

What's the bonus track?

I don't know what the bonus track(s) will be on Weapons.

I don't know either, but I know it'll have one.

Should we start a betting pool on what the WEAPONS bonus track will be? If they're using the two "California Metal" songs as bonuses on the debut, I bet that the bonus on WEAPONS will be "Rescue." Whaddaya think?

The old artwork is better in just about every way.

1) The angel in the original is one of the best angel renditions ever due to the muscular physique and position of power. I would not alter that in any way. The new one has the angel looking weak and at a disadvantage with the dragon.

2) The original old man looks better as well.

3) The only thing that is a slight improvement is making the dragon larger and more prominent in the picture. That is the only thing that I would consider changing from the original.

In regrads to the bonus tracks I think it would be cool to add a couple of the standout speed/thrash songs from their later albums that would have fit better on the first two like Attack, Purgatory Sandwich with Mustard (super heavy instrumental) and Prophet of Idiocy (one of the serious and heavy tracks from What a Joke) in addition to an unreleased classic like A Space Called You. Also, I really like the live Stay of Execution version from Decade of Deliverance that clocks in at 5:16. It is far superior than the versions from the Stay or live albums. Listen to all 3 and you will hear what I mean. It is killer on the Decade album, improved 100% from its appearance on the original Stay album. The version that I am talking about is totally fused with aggression. I am not sure if it was the mastering or what.

I like it....and I'm glad I sold my originals. I can't abide having duplicate material just for some bonus songs. This way I gain songs and have a little extra$ for other things.

Pass. I'll keep my originals.

I agree but I will end up getting the re-releases as well for the bonus material. While I can see doing better artwork for the s/t I think the re-do of the artwork for weapons is akin to George Lucas's butchering of the star wars trilogy with the constant tweaking. This is kinda like re-releasing Holy Diver with new art - it just isnt right...

It's official, here is the new "Weapoons" artwork.

I like it. I have only minor complaints...not enough to take away the cool factor.

I like it too, although the angel is a bit wimpy looking. Where's the muscle?

Ha! You just nailed what's basically my only complaint!!

Almost looks like a topless chick.

Why change it?

Rex, ult, anybody,

Who did this new artwork?

Jan something. He's the same guy who did the last Communic cover.
Here's his website: http://www.darkgrove.net/

They now have the rights for them?

I will defently be ordering these

Is there any date? I need those albums

Originals!

I'll still stick with my original

Thats fine and dandy for you guys, but straglers like me (who never found out about Deliverance til later-for me it was 2001) that is not an option. I am glad they have released these because I don't know any other (affordable) way to get them. Atwork does look better on the old one, but for me the music is more important.

Let me save you the hassle. The secret message known only to those with the decoder ring is...."Drink more Ovaltine"
