http://www.divinemetaldistro.com is taking preorders for the Deliverance reissues, says they will be out by the end of the month.

Could anyone hook me up with a decent rip of this disc? I've completely given up on finding a copy for a reasonable price...

Great band with an excellent discography. New material would be great!

True, He is the busiest man in metal. Lets not forget the new Impelliteri which he is on. I ordered my copy through The End, they also have it at NEH records.

Rob Rock and Roy Z teamed up for this rerelease of their 1990 EP. It is now a full length album. I had the demo cassette back in the day and I loved it. I'm pretty pumped to be getting this on disc. http://www.myspace.com/driverofficial

Well if you are a digital download kind of guy, the album is available via their myspace site now.

Crystavox- Come Home Decemberadio- Drifter Deliverance- 23 Bride- I Miss the Rain Bloodgood- Top of the Mountain Sacred Warrior- He Died

I really like both of the new covers.

Oh I love the original cover, but if they don't have the original print that it was made from then it would look pretty bad. At least thats what happened to the Spaceport reissue of Holy Soldier.

I'll be buying this out of principle. Retroactive does such a great job at reissuing old stuff and coming out with new stuff in the Christian metal scene. I'm curious to see what the new artwork is going to look like for WOOW.

New X Sinner tracks from the final mix, sounds pretty good. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...endid=183226872

I think this disc got pushed back to a Spring release. Michael has been busy touring with Boston.

Good disc. I liked the singer on the first disc a bit better, but the production and guitar work on Follow the Light are much better.

They are supposed to be releasing it at Cornerstone, (which is currently happening now). My guess is you will be able to purchase it within 2 weeks.

We're getting closer. Cornerstone is in early July.

Thats because the album wasn't really rerecorded, they just retracked a few guitar parts and thats it, everything else is the same, you can even hear John singing BGVs. I would have been angry because I kind of felt misled, but I didn't have a copy of Peace Treaty anymore. Its similar to the "live" tracks from Zion's Thrillseeker which I'm fully convinced are just some crowd noise thrown over the studio tracks...

Granted, the Elefante-produced Barren Cross albums sound heavier than X-Sinner, but I still maintain they're pretty polished & commercialized like everything John & Dino have done. I just don't think X-Sinner had a right to expect an overly heavy production when the Elefante brothers were hired, and I'm just saying that I bet they were aware of that back then, but now they want to gripe about it, when probably if you read interviews from back then all you would hear them doing is praising John & Dino and talking about how happy they were to work with them. Maybe the Elefantes exerted too much control over the bands they worked with...I dunno. I've heard Guardian, The Brave, Petra, Bride, and Halo all complain about them too. I think that Fire and Love is one of the most perfectly produced albums ever. They really did a great job with that one. Now back to our regularly scheduled program of X Sinner.

The loud and proud +2 disc is worth picking up, I actually think its the best X sinner disc in their catalog. The get it demos are pretty bad, but the peace treaty demos are sweet, its really the music as it was intended to be heard.

I don't know. The two Barren Cross albums they produced aren't overly slick. (Although you can still hear John in the BGVs) If you have Loud and Proud +2 you can hear how good some of the demos sound. The Get It demos are pretty rough but the Peace Treaty demos are awesome and sound much better than the actual CD versions.

I like the Elphante's production as well on certain discs. I just hated the overproduced BGVs where you could hear John singing on every single disc they produced.

The band is attempting to shoot for a rawer sound as opposed to the overproduction that the Elphante brothers injected into the mix. My fear, from hearing the rough mixes is that they are going too far the other way. Some of the first mixes they threw up there were absolutely horrid. I really think that they should leave the test mixes at home and show us the final product. That being said I do believe this is going to be released fairly soon, probably in the summer.

Voted Jetboy! I thought they were a great band that never really saw much action because of the singers ridiculous mohawk. Great blues based sleaze.
