Cover of the Serenity in Murder EP, released on August 28, 1995.Divine Intervention is the sixth by American band, released on September 27, 1994. The album's production posed a challenge to the label, as its marketing situation drew arguments over its explicitness; to give them time to decide over its style, the band released the. Since it was released nearly four years after its predecessor (1990), vocalist said there was more time spent on its production compared to the band's previous albums.Divine Intervention was the band's first album to feature, replacing original drummer. Its songs' origins came not only from television shows, but were also inspired by various other subjects including and serial killer. Its cover artwork was painted and designed by as a re-imaging of the band's early 'Slayergram' graphic. Although so much time was spent on its production, has expressed his disapproval over the album's final mix, saying it should have had more attention.Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, Divine Intervention peaked at number eight on the and number 15 on the, selling over 93,000 copies in its first week of sales.

Contents.Writing and production said that 'when we did Divine Intervention, this was the last conference we ever had with a where they sat us down and sold us the idea of how they wanted to do 'Divine', and how they were going to do this with the cover. And all these different ideas for the album. Then one guy looked at us and said, 'But we need a.' And we said, 'But you've got eleven songs, and if you can't find a hit in one of them then you're shit out of luck because that's what we're giving you.' So we're like saying to them, 'Right, you write the fucking hit song and we'll record it.' That shut the guy up and that was the last time we had any kind of meetings like that!' Araya described 'For this one, I just kind of got inspired by watching TV.
Should be checked but somehow the beam of it is used little.Indeed this is another failure of this synth: one does not really adjust the intensity of the beam and modulation modulation result is still too high and the beam d is too sensitive.OVERALL OPINIONI use it for about a month.I like the direct and clear interface, you feel close to her and it was not the impression of not understanding the synthesis. Easily obtained good usable sounds.I like the least bit of editable parameters and annoying little errors scattered around by roland (pitch knob that traumatized me), nothing serious or important, however, it remains an easy to use synth.I think sh is worth its price, nothing more, nothing less. 
That gave me a whole lot of ideas. The whole idea about the dude with Slayer in his arms was brought about because reality is scarier than anything you can make up.' The production of the album posed as a challenge to the record company, 'how to market a group whose gore-soaked, extreme music is anathema to radio programmers.' It is the company's first attempt to 'hit the thrash band's core-audience of rabid enthusiasts with a fan-orientated marketing assault.' Araya related: 'We decided to take more time to bring this one together.
We actually went into the studio with more written material than the past. We completed three out of seven songs outside the studio. We all sort of felt it was important to do it slowly. After the last tour, we had the intention to take the break.' Composition The said that 'the band deals almost exclusively with realism' in the album, and noted that it 'shocks and splatters like a severed artery, painting crimson pictures of murders, necrophiliacs, and the ravaged, chaotic world they inhabit'.
Both the and were criticized, with guitarist saying that the band should have 'paid more attention to the mix', and Araya saying that it 'is the one (if any) that he would not mind re-mastering'.Neil Strauss from explained many of the album's origins. '213' was described as a 'love song' by Araya, which was something they had never done before. The song was named after and 's old number. 'Dittohead' begins by criticizing the for 'being too lenient on killers'. The song 'ended up not denouncing the system but advocating its permissiveness'.

'King said that the album contained origins relating to 'war stories' and 'explorations of madness'.

Artwork and packaging The album was issued in a clear jewel box with a die-cut cardboard O-card. It included sixteen pages, which fold out to be a poster, which displays the cover art. Both the disc and the disc tray feature — as described by Chris Morris — an 'image reflective of the mania displayed by the group's fans, and exemplary of American frequently deployed shock tactics: a kid carving the band's name into his arms with a scalpel.' Mike Bone from said that 'we captured this not only by photography, but with video — him actually doing it.' The front cover was painted and designed by, an American artist who would later paint the covers for the other Slayer releases.
