Random Start: Stay of Execution by Deliverance

Deliverance is one of the first metal bands to enter the Christian music marketplace.  They put out their debut album in 1989 and followed up with what many consider to be their best record, Weapons of Our Warfare.  After one more speed metal album (What A Joke - which was a weird record - half real songs, half jokes or time wasting filler) they changed their sound drastically to a more progressive metal sound.  Some say it was out of Jimmy Brown's influence from David Bowie.  This is the title track from that record, Stay of Execution.  This ended up being my favorite Deliverance record.  I still like the first two and go back to them and appreciate the quality of what they were doing at the time, but these songs seem to have more depth to them.
