Stay Of Execution

Released in 1992 on Intense Records, Stay Of Execution was their fourth album and was a major change in direction for the band musically.
Stay of Execution went in a more progressive metal direction, complete with new guitarist Mike Phillips.
In an interview with Doug Van Pelt of HM Magazine, when asked about the musical change, Jimmy P. Brown explained: "I got tired of being labeled 'Oh, there's Deliverance.... the Metallica clones are back.' You know, that got really old. Because in a sense we were kind of ripping them off. But I definitely know that the Lord wants us to be original. I want to be original. So I think it was time." ~HM Video Magazine
While this move did anger fans at the time, others feel that Stay represents Deliverance's best work.
