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 it's long-awaited debut on vinyl, celebrating it's 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 it's 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. It's 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.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
