Another re-release of classic metal, back from the time when men were men, guitars tuned to E (what else?), and "Christian metal" was both.
The self titled album, in my opinion, is pretty mediocre. It's a young band that likes to play fast and has some good songs. Indeed, there really are some strong songs on here! Witness "If You Will", "Blood of the Covenant", or "Temporary Insanity". Many songs aren't as strong, however. In addition, the vocals too often move into the annoying falsetto scream that makes me think Stryper decided to thrash. Take what you will from this disc, as to me it would just be a bonus anyway.
Weapons of Our Warfare is what you're paying for here. A delectable speed metal feast with all the trimmings! Thicker guitars, more appetizing vocals, and a full menu of tasty tracks makes me want to come back for seconds. There's probably not a whole lot here that you haven't heard before, but it's done better than I've heard elsewhere. This, my favorite Deliverance release, takes Anthrax or Annihilator at their best and snaps 'em in two.
Hey, like the other KMG double disc re-releases, this will cost you between $10-13 brand spankin' new. Weapons. . . was one of the best $15 I ever spent, so logically. . . .
9/10
