Weapons of Our Warfare is an album released by the Christian speed/thrash metal band Deliverance and is considered by many to be the band's magnum opus. The album was originally released in 1990 on Intense Records and printings from that release are very rare and considered collector's items. The album was re-issued in 1998 as a two-disc set along with Deliverance on KMG Records. In 2008 Retroactive Records released a remastered version of the album with the bonus track "Rescue", originally released on the Decade of Deliverance compilation.

Weapons of Our Warfare was released a year after the band's self-titled debut. Guitarist Glenn Rogers (Hirax) had left the band and former Recon guitarist George Ochoa joined in his place. James P. Brown II's highly technical rhythm guitar style drives most of the album. The band plays with controlled fury at fast tempos. The album marked musical growth with several extended, multi-sectioned compositions foreshadowing the band's later progressive epics.
A video version of the title track placed among the top three on MTV's Headbanger's Ball countdown for twelve weeks in a row. In 1999, Lars Ulrich of Metallica hosted a show in which he named Deliverance Weapons... as one of his top ten favorite metal videos of all time.[1]
