Deliverance evokes the sounds of a kinder, gentler era of heavy rock, a time before there was moshing. In those days, if you wanted to end up prone on a crowded coliseum floor and get stomped on, you just drank and smoked until you passed out where you stood. With this record Corrosion of Conformity, one of the most influential and caustic punk bands of the mid-'80s, make a dramatic shift toward groovy, Southern-fried metal a la Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and ZZ Top, and they do it quite convincingly. Fans of their previous releases may not think that's a good thing, but this album might snare a whole new crowd of devotees. --Adem Tepedelen

 An overlooked underrated classic April 29, 2002
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
When I first started listening to C.O.C. a few years back "Deliverance" was the album that introduced me to them. And what an introduction it was, six years later and this is still one of my all time favorite albums. "Albatross" (which I just found out the other day that a music video was made for it) and "Clean My Wounds" are catchy and simplistic, but are undeniably heavy and remain live staples for C.O.C. today, while acoustic instrumentals "Without Wings" and "Mano de Mono" add an emotional impact to the album. "Seven Days" is my all time favorite C.O.C. song though, the lyrics are tied into the crucifixion of Christ and the guitar harmonies are really pulled off well and has a solo nearly reminiscent of Slayer. "My Grain", "Senor Limpio", "Broken Man", and the title track are favorites of mine as well, and "Deliverance" is rounded out as my favorite C.O.C. album with "Wiseblood" a close second. If you have never listened to C.O.C. before but you like Pantera or the Down albums then any C.O.C. album is recommended.
 A Seemingly Unstable Band Finally Finds Firm Ground July 22, 1998

In Thier last 3 Albums, COC has gone through many changes in band members. But with Deliverence, and the proof that they stayed the same with Wiseblood, shows that this band has finally found what they've been looking for. And the music shows. When you first listen to the album, the track that stands out the most is probably "Clean My Wounds", which has become one of the bands most popular songs. Using pretty simple guitar riffs, the band puts out a more than simple beat. And the guitar solo fits in perfectly to give the song a kick. It automatically became one of my favorite songs when I first heard it. I knew I had to hear what else COC had to show. "Without Wings" and "Mano De Mono" show the bands more quieter side, using nothing but music. "Shelter" does the same, except with lyrics. And it sends a strong message, 'You've been cheating my friend / Tell me whos heart is bleeding again'. The heavier parts in ! this album include "Broken Man", "Senor Limpio", and "Deliverance", along with others. Some give a sound that people aren't used to, which might make some of the album an acquired taste. This is probably why they dont get the airplay that they do deserve. Overall, Deliverance is their best album thus far, and Wiseblood doesn't fall short by much. I hope this band keeps making music, and as long as it keeps this quality, i'll keep buying.

It still seems odd to me, even today, that this record was made. It seemed to come out of nowhere. COC was basically a minor league hardcore act who went metal and recorded one Sabbath inspired sludge metal album before issuing forth this slab of absolute brilliance. Still, who would've expected them to embrace Southern Rock so completely and then graft it on to Heavy Metal in a way that was so completely original. It amazes me that they were able to do this so perfectly on the first try. This album is a metal/hard rock milestone. It takes Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top and early Metallica, smashes them all together, and then runs them through an old rusty whiskey still in some backwoods swampland down south somewhere. The result is "white lightning" in a bottle. They then repeated the formula with "Wiseblood" which is almost as good. After those two albums, they mellowed out a bit, shortened their name to COC and cut "America's Volume Dealer" which is also great. I have to give the nod for best album to "Deliverance" though because it was the point where new ground was broken and the quality of the songs is very high throughout. If you like this album, you should also check out "Nola" by DOWN (which features members of COC, Pantera, and Eyehategod). Down is similar to COC but darker and little more metallic and abrasive (maybe a little more Sabbath and a little less ZZ Top in the mix) and definitely worth hearing!
unique thrash metal June 16, 2001

With "Deliverance" and its successors COC have shown themselves to be experts at making hard rock that is catchy, forceful, and and nuanced all at the same time. "Deliverance" rocks hard, but COC avoid the more traditional thrash sound of bands like Metallica. "Clean My Wounds" and "Albatross" combine heavy (yet infectious) riffing with rhythmic vocals from Pepper Keenan to create a southern-tinged groove-thrash sound. COC stand out from many other prominent heavy bands in that they're clearly not a afraid to bring actual singing to metal. "Seven Days," the highlight of the album for me, is the best evidence of this fact, as Pepper's impassioned vocals meld perfectly with the slow, swirling guitar sound. The hard-rocking "Broken Man" and the thrashing "My Grain" are among the other high points on this album. Throughout the disc, Woody Weatherman's guitar leads add to the songs without ever becoming a distraction, and the strong rhythm section of Mike Dean and Reed Mullin maintains a power groove in the background.

Sure Pepper was in COC when Blind was recorded, but this album marks the beginning of a band and a sound that has no equals.
Most people revere this album as some kind of hallowed gem and they are correct. The first COC album to be dominated by Pepper's songwriting and singing - it showcases a talent in music that few can match. It's like Pepper comes from some super-planet of music - where maybe the only other inhabitant is Tony Iommi or something.
But this album also makes it VERY clear that Mike, Woody, and Reed are monsters in their own right. They collectively create something that oozes virtuosity. Each player is a master of their sound and instrument and it all comes together in some hazy dreamlike brilliance.
This album is required material. After countless spins - my fav song is `Pearls Before Swine'. That rumbling bass line and the amazing blast into the hook is unbelievably good. WOW!
