ABOUT THE ALBUM

Deliverance’s Assimilation stands as one of the most innovative and creative heavy metal works of any genre, blending crushing riffs, atmospheric tones, and industrial accents to craft a sound that is both dark and captivating. Originally released in 2001 and reissued on CD in 2019, this landmark album now makes its long-awaited debut on vinyl, celebrating its place in metal history as a bold and transformative record.

This 2025 vinyl reissue marks the first time Assimilation is available on this format, presented on striking Borg Green Vinyl and limited to just 200 copies worldwide. Painstakingly remastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell, the album’s intricate layers and sonic textures are brought to life with newfound clarity and depth. Accompanying this deluxe release is a 12x12 full-color insert featuring lyrics and exclusive liner notes by Deliverance frontman Jimmy P. Brown II, offering fans a unique window into the album’s creation and enduring impact.

After a lengthy hiatus, Assimilation marked the triumphant return of Deliverance, led by founding member Jimmy P. Brown II. Brown’s haunting, doom-like vocals—described as a blend of David Bowie and Queensrÿche’s Geoff Tate—anchor the album’s dynamic soundscape. His razor-sharp guitar riffs, placed prominently in the mix, are complemented by the unwavering bass lines of longtime bandmate Manny Morales and the industrial-tinged keyboard work of David Gilbreath. Together, the band crafted a record that is both heavy and introspective, seamlessly marrying technical precision with melodic hooks.

Critics and fans alike have hailed Assimilation as one of Deliverance’s finest achievements. Music critic Angelic Warlord described it as “the most musically consistent effort from the band since its critically acclaimed 1993 work Learn,” awarding it an impressive 85% rating. Songs like “The Circle” and “Save Me From…” showcase the band’s technical prowess, while tracks such as “Assimilation” and “Between 2 Worlds” exude a resounding heaviness. Meanwhile, “The Limitless Light” and “Impressions” captivate listeners with their unforgettable choruses and gripping melodies.

Thematically, Assimilation delves into the perils of losing identity and control, exploring the tension between autonomy and external influence. Its haunting atmosphere and philosophical depth make it a powerful and thought-provoking listening experience. As the band declares, “Resistance is futile… you WILL be Assimilated.”

For fans of Queensrÿche, Rammstein, HIM, and mid-period Deliverance, Assimilation is an essential addition to any collection. This exclusive reissue is part of the highly regarded Metal Icon Series and offers a rare opportunity to own one of heavy metal’s most creative masterpieces on vinyl. With only 200 copies pressed worldwide, this reissue is a collectible piece of metal history. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this remarkable chapter in Deliverance’s legacy.

ABOUT THE ALBUM

Deliverance: As Above ~ So Below – First-Ever Vinyl Pressing!

Limited to 200 copies on Blitzkrieg Blue Vinyl with a 12x12 full-color insert and an all-new write-up from vocalist Jimmy Brown, As Above ~ So Below is a must-have for collectors and fans alike. This iconic 13th album from Deliverance—originally released to universal acclaim—has been mastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell (King’s X, Galactic Cowboys, Nevermore) and is finally available in a format worthy of its massive sound and legendary status.

Since their thrashing 1989 debut, Deliverance has set the gold standard in heavy metal, earning a place among the most innovative and distinguished bands in the genre. Known for their groundbreaking video “Weapons of Our Warfare” (the first Christian metal video to air on Headbanger’s Ball) and their seamless transition from thrash to progressive metal in the mid-90s, Deliverance has built a career defined by commercial success, critical acclaim, and a relentless commitment to musical brilliance.

As Above ~ So Below was the band’s first new album in over a decade, and Jimmy Brown poured his heart and soul into creating what many consider one of the heaviest Deliverance record to date. The album alternates between moments of sheer beauty and spine-crushing brutality, blending epic thrash/speed metal with the elegance of progressive metal. From the haunting, Omen-inspired opening track to thunderous riffs reminiscent of Slayer and early Believer, this is Deliverance at their most powerful.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering them for the first time, this vinyl edition of As Above ~ So Below delivers a masterpiece that transcends expectations.

For fans of Metallica, Megadeth, Queensrÿche, Sacred Warrior, and Anthrax.
