Description

Slayers sixth full length studio recording, 1994s Divine Intervention, was the first one without Lombardo and featured Paul Bostaph on drums instead. The album blasted into the Billboard top 100 at an incredible number 8. The record witnessed no respite when it came to dealing with beyond the pale subject matter, Hanneman’s penchant for Nazi history re-surfacing with SS-3, the license plate of Reich governor of Bohemia and Moravia Reynard Heydrich’s staff car, whilst 213 dealt with yet another serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, the number being that of his notorious apartment. Divine Intervention was quick to achieve gold sales status and Slayer’s longevity was confirmed when back catalogue titles Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss were all confirmed gold too. Naturally the band generated controversy once again, this time by using a photograph on the inner sleeve of dedicated fan Mike Meyer’s rendition of the Slayer logo – carved with a razor into his own arm.
