Product Description

Only a year after Deliverance unleashed their historic self-titled debut, the band returned in 1990 with the album that would forever cement their place among speed and thrash metal's most respected names: Weapons of Our Warfare.

Metallica had Master of Puppets. Slayer had Reign in Blood. Exodus had Bonded by Blood. For Deliverance, Weapons of Our Warfare became that defining record — an album where speed, precision, aggression, melody and conviction came together in extraordinary fashion.

Jimmy P. Brown II's powerful and technically demanding rhythm guitar drives the album from beginning to end, while the guitar interplay between Brown and George Ochoa delivers relentless riffs and leads. The songwriting had grown substantially as well, with longer and more ambitious compositions foreshadowing some of the progressive territory Deliverance would explore later without sacrificing the speed-metal attack that made the band such a force.

From the opening combination of “Supplication” and “This Present Darkness” through the explosive title track, “Flesh & Blood,” “Slay the Wicked,” “Greetings of Death,” “If We Faint Not” and more, Weapons of Our Warfare delivered songs that became genuine anthems for an entire generation of metal fans.

The title track also broke remarkable new ground. The video for “Weapons of Our Warfare” became the first Christian metal video to receive airplay on MTV and spent twelve consecutive weeks among the top three on the network's Headbanger's Ball countdown. In 1999, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich hosted a program in which he named “Weapons of Our Warfare” among his Top 10 metal videos of all time.

More than three decades later, Weapons of Our Warfare continues to be regarded as one of the defining albums in Christian speed and thrash metal. It ranked #3 on Christian Metal Realm's Top 100 Christian Metal Albums and #16 on Angelic Warlord's Top 50 Christian Metal & Hard Rock Albums of the Nineties.

For this 2026 Retroactive Records Collector's Edition, the album has been newly remastered by Rob Colwell and expanded across two CDs with 18 tracks. The original album is joined by eight bonus recordings, including “Rescue,” a studio recording made for Weapons of Our Warfare but ultimately not used on the original album, plus seven recordings from the Weapons of Our Warfare demo sessions.

The collector's presentation includes a 16-page booklet, and an exclusive new approximately 920-word retrospective by Retroactive Records' Matthew B. Hunt. Hunt writes from the perspective of a fan who discovered Deliverance through “Attack” on the 1987 California Metal compilation and, nearly four decades later, found himself helping preserve and reissue the music that made such an impact on him as a teenager.

The expanded edition also provides another window into the creation of this classic album. “Rescue” gives fans a completed studio recording from the original album sessions that didn't make the final record, while the seven demo recordings allow listeners to hear these songs taking shape before becoming the versions generations of Deliverance fans came to know.
