CHRISTIAN METAL REALM/ROXX RECORDS DELIVERANCE TRIBUTE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Roxx Records in conjunction with the Christian Metal Realm are set to celebrate the upcoming 25th Anniversary of Christian Metal Thrash Legends ‘DELIVERANCE’ with an upcoming tribute CD along with a few more surprises! Full Details to be released soon!

The release promises to just be the beginning of a grand celebration of the history of Deliverance and we have a few more surprises we will be revealing later this year all in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Deliverance in 2010!

We are currently lining up artists and just by word of mouth we are already getting quite a bit of interest from various artists for this project. If you would like to be immortalized as a part of Deliverance History email Arttie or Bill at Deliverancetribute@yahoo.com

Deliverance formed in 1985 as a speed metal outfit, where the Christian metal community first encountered them on the compilation album California Metal. They put forth their self-titled debut album Deliverance in 1989 with Jimmy P Brown (guitars and lead vocals), Glenn Rogers (lead guitar), Brian Khairullah (bass), and Chris Hyde (drums), but did not make major waves in the Christian metal community until their 1990 release Weapons of Our Warfare. During this time, the band replaced guitarist Glenn Rogers with George Ochoa formerly of Recon, and released a video on MTV for the title track of Weapons of our warfare.

The "Weapons" video made it's first of many appearances on MTV's Headbanger's Ball with Ricky Rachtman calling it a "Great new video." This was a HUGE breakthrough for the world of CCM Speed Metal because, at this point, the only CCM bands to have appeared on MTV were Stryper, Barren Cross, and Petra. First appearing in 1991, it would slowly climb its way to the Top 3 "Triple Thrash Threat" after a few weeks and would remain their for the next few weeks.

While this was a very high point in the history of Deliverance, they would continue on and off over the next twenty five years and even carry on today! Releasing new and re-relasing old albums through the likes of Retroactive Records. “D’ still performs one off shows on occasion upon request. If your lucky enough to catch their live performance don’t miss it as they always put on an amazing live performance!

Several bands from the Christian Metal Realm are already committed to the project, as are some "big names" from the Christian Metal world. A couple of special surprises are planned as wll. Band announcements will follow soon, but for now, the following songs are set to be included in this tribute (tracklisting is subject to change, of course):

Ramming Speed
Blood Of The Covenant

Weapons of Our Warfare

Cool. Glad to see What A Joke with some songs being recognized. But....not sure I'd do "It's The Beat" one of the songs I always skip when listening to that monster thrash CD. I'd rather see "Attack". LOVE that song.

Love the S.O.E. album. Ramming Speed will be awesome. How about Entombed!? Or From Once Was also?! Entombed and R.S. are my two favorite from that one.

Strange. I think that "It's the Beat" is one of the best songs on that album! Love the groove!

"It's the beat...they say, is satanic....HAHAHA"!!!

GENIUS!

The bands are picking the songs they want to cover. I have no influence on it at all, just making sure no duplicates are made.
