New Deliverance Album In The Works!
Deliverance is in pre-production for a new studio album. And, with the writing and creative always comes some change. I have always took great care to preserve the Deliverance Brand and make sure to not repeat the past for sake of demand, record company requests or plainly stated: Laziness!!! To try and create something that will appeal to all eras of fans for Deliverance without alienating some has always been a difficult task at best! Some would say impossible. But, I have never believed that! All that I can tell you about this new album is it is not what you are expecting! Some think it will lean one way or another, some think it will have no edge! Some propose it will be like mid era Deliverance, while others believe a true return to the synergy that made Deliverance to be put on the map! The word synergy is a great descriptive. (Being that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts!) So, naysayers and doubters can speak and slag, and people that hope for a return to mid era can hope. But I like to try and present something different with each album, while retaining that inevitable crunch guitar sound and intricate picking style that I implemented back in 1985 with Deliverance. So, you will judge for yourself when it is “delivered”…

Getting to Know...
Chuckie Shea | Big Dismal
This is a monthly article where we get to know those from the Christian music industry a little bit better. We find out what is going on in the lives of your favorite musicians, writers, artists, and more...
In this month's article, we caught up with Chuckie Shea from "Big Dismal" and got a little personal...
D2S: What do you do for fun outside of music?
Chuckie: I really enjoy the outdoors, fishing, golfing and spending time with family means everything to me.
D2S: What is your all time favorite movie?
Chuckie: My favorite movie would have to be "A River Runs Though It". It hits me every time emotionally. I love this movie because it's about family, religion and fishing. "We can love completely what we cannot completely understand", my favorite quote.
D2S: What is the weirdest thing that you have ever witnessed?
Chuckie: It would definitely have to be something I saw in the sky. It wasn't a satellite It looked kind of like a star that was changing colors, kind of like plasma lol. And It moved real slow, unlike anything I've ever seen... very Strange.
D2S: Where in the world would you want to visit for the first time?
Chuckie: I would love to visit Ireland, we are an Irish family so it would be cool to maybe find and meet family there.
D2S: Who are your biggest musical influences?
Chuckie: I would have to say KISS lol. As a little kid they made me wanna play in bands and be on stage. I would put concerts on in my bedroom all the time lol. Stryper was a big one, "Live in Japan" was life changing for me. Fantastic guitar players.
D2S: What three bands (past or present) would you want to tour with the most?
Chuckie: Right now I would love Big Dismal to tour with Shinedown, Creed or even Evanescence. Since Amy sings on our song "Missing You" I always wanted to have her on stage to sing it with us live.
D2S: What is your greatest musical memory?
Chuckie: I played guitar for Seventh Day Slumber for awhile during the "Awake" record. I wrote seven songs and played guitar on that record with the guys. But there was this one time I was playing a huge festival, I just started doing shows with them and I had never been part of leading an Alter call. There had to of been 2,000 people on there knees at the front of the stage giving there life to Christ. I was moved beyond words, it was truly an incredible experience I'll never forget.
D2S: What other instrument would you want to learn if you could?
Chuckie: The piano, I just love the sound.
D2S: How did you first come to know Christ?
Chuckie: My Dad loved the lord BIG TIME! My Dad raised me Catholic, so I used to do CCD Catechism. My Father made sure God was a big part of our life.
D2S: What is your favorite Bible verse?
Chuckie: Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths. This verse just always reminds me, I'm not in control. To trust in God with whatever situation I'm in.
D2S: Besides God, who is the first person you want to talk to in Heaven?
Chuckie: So I just spent over 2 years being my Dad's care taker, he had cancer and couldn't walk. It was so life changing for me. It was really hard but I'm so thankful for that time we had together everyday. I miss him sooooo so much. I can't wait to see him again someday in Heaven. Yup I'm crying lol.
D2S: How do you see the world today?
Chuckie: The World today worries me for sure. There is just so much going on and division in the world. I'm more worried for the future for my daughter than anything. The World needs Jesus more than ever.
