The Subversive Kind is the eleventh studio album by the metal band, Deliverance, released in 2018.

Jimmy P. Brown was contacted by George Ochoa, who stated Deliverance should reunite.

Brown and Ochoa added Victor Macias (Tourniquet) and Jim Chaffin, and performed at Exodo Fest in 2016, alongside Abated Mass of Flesh and Silent Planet.

[8] The festival was a big part of why Deliverance reunited, as it enjoyed performing together.

It then hired Greg Minier from the Crucified and former guitarist Glenn Rogers to play lead on the album.
