I may be in the minority, but I think I like the Deliverance version better - it has more of a natural melodic flow of the song. I'll listen to the Stryper version a few more times to get more of a feel - perhaps I'll like it more with time.

Frost Like Ashes' cover is still the best, but this is alright.  Let's be real here: almost any vocal is an improvement over Ozzie's.

Cool cover of a classic Deliverance song.  JPBII ("Michael, if you hear this recording one day, I love you, I wanted to be you at one time!") must be thrilled that y'all would honor them this way.

Sounds amazing!  Don't like labelling songs Secular or Christian but this is such a Christian song with powerful thought provoking lyrics.  Reckon from what I've heard, this album will be your best ever Michael, even topping my personal favourites NMHTP and SUC.  Awesome stuff brother!!!  Cool

I love every cover of this song: Deliverance, Troglodyte Dawn and now Stryper.
Biohazard not so much.

Not bad.... Rockin Loud

One thing I'm curious about is who in BS wrote the lyrics and what the motivation was ? Any body know of a interview where someone talks about that song ?

I think Geezer Butler pretty much writes most if not all the lyrics.

According to what I have heard BS got deeply in touch with the demonic forces since they were dabbling with the occult in their early albums. Therefore they got scared and wanted to stay away from it and wrote After Forever. They also started to always wear big crosses after this.

Once I read that there was lots of criticism in the media about what Black Sabbath was writing in their albums and they were often called satanists, so they wrote After Forever in order to dismiss those kind of thoughts.

But your theory makes more sense to me, after all...
One thing looks to be true: That the band was into occultism in their earlier career. There is also a theory that explain where the name of the band came from...
But it is better to save it for another thread.

I would give the Deliverance cover a 0 out of 10...

This song doesn't match with the What a Joke album vibe, it totally breaks the rhythm of the album. Maybe they should have included this cover on another album such as River Disturbance...
I remember the first time I heard the What a Joke album and then the After Forever track begun and I stopped what I was doing and thought: "what song is that?". I didn't even know it was a BS cover. I don't care about the jokes on that album (I actually enjoy Chipped Beef and Purgatory Sandwich with Mustard), but this song annoys me.

I didn't listen to the Stryper version, but it might fit better on Stryper style. However, I am going to listen to the new album as a whole at the first listen, and then It will certainly be a skip button, just as I do with the Deliverance version.

The best cover Stryper did so far was the Peace of Mind, from Boston. That song is great and it is probably better than the original version.
