Overview:
Divine Intervention is Slayer’s ferocious 1994 studio album, marking their first release after a four‑year gap and the debut of drummer Paul Bostaph. The record pushes into darker, more violent territory, blending rapid‑fire riffing, razor‑sharp production, and themes of psychological torment, war crimes, and societal decay. The artwork and disc design reflect the album’s brutal tone—bone‑and‑steel iconography, pentagram motifs, and stark black‑and‑white imagery.
Collector Notes:

German‑manufactured pressing (EDC), desirable for its high print quality and durability.
-
Original American Recordings branding with Rick Rubin as Executive Producer.
-
Includes the iconic sword‑pentagram artwork and period‑correct tray card design.
